Yesterday, OnePlus launched its OnePlus 8 series in the global market. The OnePlus 8 is priced at 699 US dollar which is around Rs 53,400 and right now, OnePlus 7T is priced at Rs 35,000. So let’s see which one is best for you…
As of now, we don’t know the Indian pricing for OnePlus 8 but it will be somewhere around US pricing because OnePlus has given 5G which means we need to pay some extra money for that technology. So OnePlus 8 won’t come out at 35k or 40k in India.
Update 20th April 2020 OnePlus officially announced the India price for the OnePlus 8 series. The OnePlus 8 Pro is priced at Rs 54,999 for 8GB of Ram and 128GB Storage while OnePlus 8 is priced at Rs 44,999 for the same 8GB of Ram and 128GB of Storage.
On the other hand, OnePlus 7T is priced at 35k and still, its best OnePlus’s phone available in the market. The phone has a triple rear camera setup including a 48MP primary sensor, 16MP ultra-wide lens, and 12MP telephoto lens.
While OnePlus 8 has the same 48MP, the same 16MP ultra-wide lens but miss out of the telephoto lens, instant of that, OnePlus has provided a 2MP macro lens.
Yes, OnePlus 8 has a new and powerful chipset with 5G support but who cares, OnePlus 7T also has a powerful chipset and you won’t even notice a huge difference between OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 7T in terms of performance. So performance is not the point here. If you want 5G then OnePlus 8 is for you.
Let me tell you one thing, 5G is not practical yet and I don’t think you will see 5G in India till 2022, so why you want to spend more money on 5G.
The battery is a little bit bigger on OnePlus 8, this phone has 4,300 mAh battery with the same Warp Charge 30T Fast Wired Charging while OnePlus 7T has 3,800 mAh battery with Warp Charge 30T Fast Wired Charging. What I’m saying, the battery is not going to be a huge deal here because you will get around two or three hours more.
In the end, it depends on you, how you use the phone every day.
Conclusion
If you want to buy a new phone around 50k in India then I would rather say OnePlus 7 Pro or OnePlus 7T because still in 2020, it worth buying. OnePlus 8 is a great phone, it has a new front design and new display but still, it’s not worth at 42k. In-short, OnePlus 7T is the way to go over OnePlus 8.
