OnePlus 5T will reportedly carry the same price tag as the OnePlus 5

Even before the company confirmed the existence of OnePlus 5T, the rumor mill had started churning out information about the device. The speculations started brewing when the OnePlus 5 went out of stock in several major markets such as the US. On the US website of the OnePlus, there was not even any option to buy the smartphone. Clearly, the company was planning to introduce a new device.

Anyway, let's concentrate on a new report by Tech Radar that has revealed an interesting piece of information.

Contrary to the rumors we have heard so far, Tech Radar believes OnePlus 5T will not be priced higher than OnePlus 5. The publication claims to have obtained the information from a confidential documentation that contains the pricing of OnePlus 5T in the UK. The documentation has revealed the phone's pricing through O2 service provider. The listed price is the same as it was for its predecessor.

However, the price may vary in other markets, mentions the publication.

Last week, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau had indirectly hinted at the pricing of the OnePlus 5T. When asked if 4,000 Yuan (around Rs. 39,000) would be enough to buy the new OnePlus phone, the CEO commented "Enough".

While this clearly suggested that the upcoming phone's price won't exceed the Rs. 39,000 mark, it didn't reveal the exact pricing.

If Tech Radar's report eventually comes true, you might be wondering why OnePlus won't hike the price of its next flagship.

Well, OnePlus has been steadily making its phones costlier by around Rs. 5,000 each passing year. So keeping the OnePlus 5T's price the same as its predecessor may be a clever marketing strategy by the company.

Presumably, it is determined to keep its reputation intact as a company that offers feature-rich flagships at cheap prices.
