The OnePlus 8 flagship series arrives next week, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. We already know almost everything about the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro, including the design, internals, cameras, wireless charging support, and more. The only piece missing from the puzzle was the pricing details. Well, not anymore.
Earlier today, noted tipster Roland Quandt (via WinFuture.de) revealed the official pricing details for all the configurations of the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro. And to be honest, you won’t be impressed with what OnePlus has in store for you.
OnePlus 8 is expected to start at around a whopping 719 euros (around Rs. 59,250) whereas the Pro variant will require you to shell out around 919 euros (around Rs. 75,900) for the base variant. Did that come as a shock to you? It certainly did to me when I first saw the rumored prices and the conversions. Here’s a quick look at all the configurations and their rumored prices:
- OnePlus 8 (8GB + 128GB) – ~719/ 729 euros (around Rs. 59,250)
- OnePlus 8 (12GB + 256GB) – ~819/ 829 euros (around Rs. 67,500)
- OnePlus 8 Pro (8GB + 128GB) – ~919/ 929 euros (around Rs. 75,900)
- OnePlus 8 Pro (12GB + 256GB) – ~1009/ 1019 euros (around Rs. 83,250)
Both the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro will see a price hike of 140 euros (around Rs. 11,500) when compared to its predecessors – the OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro. They were launched starting at 579 and 759 euros respectively. The huge price hike could easily be because of the costly Snapdragon 865 chipset, 5G connectivity, an IP rating, and of course, the most-requested addition – wireless charging.
Further, even though OnePlus CEO Pete Lau recently confirmed that the company’s upcoming flagships won’t cost over $1000. Today’s leak suggests otherwise. The top-end variant of the OnePlus 8 Pro could very well sit alongside the new Samsung S20 series, iPhone 11 Pro, and others in the $1000 price bracket.
As for the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro pricing details for India, there’s no separate leak but our best guess continues to remain the same as the one mentioned in our recent OnePlus 8 series rumor roundup. The standard OnePlus 8 will start at around 44,999 (or $600) as compared to the Rs. 37,999 starting price of the OnePlus 7T last year. OnePlus 8 Pro, on the other hand, will start at around Rs. 58,999 (around $775) in India.
The OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro, along with a Warp 30 Wireless Charger and Bullets Wireless Z, will be unveiled on 14th April at 8:30 PM IST. So, stay tuned for more updates.
Time to Quit one plus???? =0
If they come up with these price range , no one will buy. Ppl prefer apple or samsung s series over oneplus. I dont think they should come up with this price range. I was waiting for oneplus8 to launch but it come with this price , i wl buy samsung S20.
Time to switch back to samsung I guess ???? not paying so much for this
See, this is a true colour of Chinese company,
I would prefer the Korean one if i stick to Android or perhaps IOS
Why so much costly..it must be under 60k…if cross 60k tag no one will buy…and after this lockdown no chamce in this bid
If this would be the price range ???? LOL Ghanta koi nai lega india may
Abhi tak jitnay coustomer join huve hai sab samsung lenge ya apple .
Frankly speaking if i have to pay that much i would prefer to go for Samsung’s flagship or iphone
Exactly… Why would someone pay this much price for a chinese brand who’s shipping viruses throughout the globe…
What about the 8 lite
OnePlus 8 Lite (or OnePlus Z) is rumored but no confirmation or hint suggesting it will launch alongside OnePlus 8 series seems to have popped up online
I just want to know the launched price in india after its launches…
They have lost their minds they were into this market as flagship killers now they have become some costlyships u gonna loose ur base customers
If this would be the prices than the exit door will be open soon . As a buyer I will be prefered Samsung rather than this Chinese toy.
