Prices for China and the USA can be predicted.
The announcement of the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro smartphones is only a few days away. We have talked about these devices many times, their characteristics, design and even prices. But the last point has always been at the level of not the most reliable rumors or approximate values.
How much will OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro cost in Europe
Now, allegedly official prices for the European market have hit the Network. So, for OnePlus 8 in the version with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of flash memory they will ask for 720/730 euros, depending on the country. For the same model with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of flash memory – 820/830 euros. Similar configurations of the OnePlus 8 Pro will cost 920/930 and 1010/1020 euros, respectively.
For comparison, OnePlus 7T in Europe started from 580/590 euros, and OnePlus 7T Pro – from 760/770 euros. That is, the rise in price is very substantial – by 140-160 euros. If we continue to draw parallels with prices for previous generations of OnePlus smartphones in the USA and China, we can assume that in the United States OnePlus 8 will start at about $ 700-750, and OnePlus 8 Pro will start at $ 900-950, and in China for new items they will ask for about 500-550 and 780-800 dollars, respectively.
Total, next-generation OnePlus smartphones at their prices will be very close to the flagships of market leaders, which means that they will partly lose their status as killers of these same flagships. Especially outside of China.
However, at least OnePlus 8 Pro, if you believe all the rumors and leaks, and will be able to offer much more than in the previous generation. There will be a full protection against water, and the long-awaited wireless charging, with a power of 30 watts. But for this you have to pay pretty much.
