The OnePlus 5T[1] launch event, scheduled for November 16, is just days away and the company has been on overdrive mode to create hype around the handset. Certain features of the next flagship, such as the presence of 3.5 audio jack and absence of wireless charging, have already been confirmed by the brand, while the OnePlus 5T price cap has been teased too. The all-screen successor to the OnePlus 5[2] will be launched in New York City, and will become available in India via a flash sale on November 21[3], followed wider availability from November 21. We take a look at what you can expect from the next OnePlus flagship, going by the official confirmations as well as the leaks so far.
OnePlus 5T price in India
Starting off with the OnePlus 5T price, the company's CEO Pete Lau has hinted[4] that the handset will cost less than CNY 4,000 (approximately Rs. 39,000). This may mean that the upcoming handset may not be priced too high compared to the 8GB RAM variant of the OnePlus 5, though duties and other levies may push the price beyond the Rs. 40,000-mark in India.
However, a recent report - citing confidential documentation from telecom carrier O2 - claims that the OnePlus 5T price would be the same as that of its predecessor. It may just be that the company plans to phase out the 8GB RAM variant of OnePlus 5 and replace it with the 5T model, but we will have to wait till November 16 what the plan really is. In China, the 8GB RAM variant of OnePlus 5 is priced at CNY 3,499, while it costs $539 in the US and Rs. 37,999 in India.
