Leaked OnePlus 10 Pro pricing is a relief for OG fans put off by higher prices
OnePlus has been revealing details about its latest flagship, the OnePlus 10 Pro, in bits and pieces. So far, the company has shown us what the phone looks like and has also revealed some core specs, including the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, the megapixels count, the 5,000-mAh battery, and the 120Hz screen. Pricing is still to be announced, but there is a chance the device will have a lower starting price than its predecessor.
The OnePlus 10 Pro will go on sale in China on January 11, and it has already been listed for pre-order in the country. Chinese e-commerce company JD.com has revealed that three memory configurations will be available and has also unveiled the prices for the lineup (via Gizmo china).
One plus 10 Pro Price
- 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage: between 3,000 Yuan (~$470) and 3,999 Yuan (~$627)
- 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage: between 4,000 Yuan and 4,999 Yuan (~$783)
- 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage: between 4,000 Yuan and 4,999 Yuan.
These very well could be placeholder prices, but they are close to the predictions by Chinese leaker WHY LAB, who claims that the base variant will go for 3,999 Yuan (~$627), the middling model will cost 4,599 Yuan (~$720), and the maxed-out version will be priced at 4,999 Yuan (~$783).
One plus is yet to reveal launch plans for other markets, but some rumors indicate the rest of the world may get the OnePlus 10 Pro in April. The phone will likely cost more in other countries. To give you an idea, the OnePlus 9 Pro with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage retails for $969 in the US and 4,999 Yuan (~$783) in China.
The main takeaway here is that OnePlus has apparently lowered the starting price from 4,999 Yuan to 3,999 Yuan, which implies the handset will be more affordable than its predecessor in other territories as well.
That appears to be a sane move, considering OnePlus' deviation from its original strategy of selling flagship killers may have alienated some fans. The alleged prices will also make the device more competitive against the Google Pixel 6 Pro, the Apple iPhone 13, and the Samsung Galaxy S21.
We will have to wait to find out whether this alleged pricing strategy, a bigger battery with support for faster changing, a new design, and the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor will help the OnePlus 10 Pro
OnePlus has now officially announced the newest addition to its flagship smartphones, and it is the OnePlus 10 Pro, to be officially released first in China on January 11, and then the flagship device should make its way to the US and Europe. OnePlus has confirmed a lot of details about the upcoming phone, painting a good picture of what to expect when the phone hits the shelves.
You may have planned to upgrade to the OnePlus 10 Pro this year, and you may be wondering which colors it will be available in. OnePlus has confirmed the two colors for the OnePlus 10 Pro on Twitter, and in this article, we will attempt to look at the two to help you make your choice easier.
