OnePlus 7T pro, part 3

Few more physical things about the phone before I can move into talking about the internals.

The power button on the right hand side is conveniently placed just a bit over halfway through the side. This makes it much easier to reach for it than having it on top. There is a slider to silence the phone in the traditional power button place in this phone. A feature that surely is useful, but I still prefer the control of profiles based on whether I'm wearing my watch or not.

On the other side of the phone are the volume buttons. It needs some time getting used to that, but it's fine. Except for using those for camera shutter buttons. In that case they are not that convenient to use as they are then at the bottom. But I guess it's still better than using the on-screen shutter.

Of course, being a modern flagship phone it doesn't have headphone jack. I'm fine using an adapter and in time, I'll probably replace my current headphones so then I can opt for wireless ones. I also don't see the need to be charging the phone at the same time as listening to something. Only issue is having the cord sticking out from the bottom of the phone which makes it a bit harder to use.
