Chinese phone maker OnePlus launched its latest flagships, the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro at an online-only event yesterday. While the event was one worthy of a flagship product launching, it did lack the glitz and glam that we have come to associate OnePlus launches previously.
However, the same cannot be said of the two phones, both of which bring a refined design and feature set to readily make them the most premium OnePlus smartphones to have been made up to now. However, as we have seen in the past, truly premium flagships do not come cheap — something that also looks true for its OnePlus 8 chain of phones too.
The Business has declared the OnePlus 8 will begin at a cost of $699 for your 8GB RAM and 128GB storage version, together with the higher end 12GB RAM and 256GB storage version priced at $799. The premium version of this device with 12GB RAM and 256GB has been priced at $999.
This makes the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro the most expensive OnePlus telephones to have been established to date, with the $999 price point even Placing the OnePlus 8 Pro’s top notch variant in precisely the same league as pricey.
