I've had the OnePlus 7 Pro in my hands for a little over a month now.
First impressions: Build quality is excellent. The frame is solid with minimal body creases. It could fairly be compared to a well-designed aircraft. The mirror glass finish on the backing of the phone is beautiful--just keep in mind that if you dry dog your phones, you'll have it looking like cheeks inside of a day.
The curved 6.67 inch QHD+ AMOLED display is absolutely gorgeous. The colors are well-balanced and vibrant, and maximum brightness is more than enough for any environment. Admittedly, I was a bit skeptical about the 90Hz refresh rate--but after using it for a month, I can honestly say that it is by-far the most fluid, responsive phone that I have ever used. It makes a HUGE difference coming from my old Pixel 3 XL.
The popup selfie camera works fantastic. At first, I thought it was a bit gimmicky, but I don't use the front-facing camera nearly enough to come close to worrying about failure or damage to the mechanism.
Battery life is decent. If you're halfway conservative about your brightness, you should easily be able to get through your day with moderate use. The Warp Charge feature is what I have been missing in my life. Undoubtedly the best feature of this phone. I can get a full charge inside of 80 minutes. If you get home after work with a near-dead battery, Warp Charge will give you enough juice with 20 minutes of wired charging to make it the rest of the night until you plug in before bed. The real MVP.
The speakers are a massive improvement from the garbage speakers I've had on previous flagships. As good as you can get with a phone--they're immersive, deep, and fairly loud at max setting. No tinny or static sounds.
My list of cons is pretty short, and I'm historically a very particular individual, so take these with a grain of salt.
Con 1: Earpiece could definitely be louder. I find myself using the speaker when on calls. I usually hold my device just far enough away from my ear to keep my disgusting face grease from mucking up the display. However, on previous devices, the loudest earpiece setting was usually barely sufficient to hear at that distance, so I could easily get away with it.
Con 2: The placement of the volume rocker across from the power button can pose issues for most users. When I go to adjust the volume while watching something, I almost always inadvertently take a screenshot because I pushed the power button with my thumb, or likewise, my pointer finger. (This will vary based on dominant hand, as well as device orientation.)
Con 3: The camera. Well, coming from a phone with a single-lens camera rated best-in-class, I will say that the quality is definitely a bit underwhelming. At the end of the day, it gets the job done. I'm hoping OnePlus pushes some firmware updates that favor improving the camera software.
Conclusion: This is a perfectionist phone for the perfectionist. Well worth the money. This phone easily trumps most, if not all, phones in the flagship class. The best part: you're most likely to have the only one in your group of people. In a cellular world polluted with cookie cutter Galaxy phones and other devices commonly found in copy-and-paste cellular stores, The OnePlus 7 Pro is the masterpiece sitting in the back--reserved for those who refuse to fall short.

Bait and switch. Do not buy.
DO NOT BUYI recieved a (poorly) refurbished phone when nowhere on the listing did it say it wasn't *new*. Deep gouges everywhere on the sides, scratches on the camera housing, Poorly aligned backplate after repair. It did not come with the original box, nor ANY of the peripherals. In fact, it came with a bog standard SAMSUNG power brick. This is completely unacceptable and a classic bait and switch.
