OnePlus has confirmed that the China-based company will officially take the wraps off its upcoming flagship smartphone lineup on 14th May which is the successor to the OnePlus 6T. The company is expected to launch three phones — OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, and 7 Pro 5G.
Now, as the launch of the OnePlus 7 series is nearing, the company is running out of stock for a few models of the current-generation OnePlus 6T smartphones globally. As per the reports, the OnePlus 6T is now out of stock in the US, as well as Spain and Italy.
The smartphone was launched in two variants — one with 6GB of RAM and another with 8GB of RAM, with a starting price of $549 for the base model. Later, the company also launched the OnePlus 6T Thunder Purple edition for $579 but it has been out of stock from some time as it was a limited edition device.
While there’s a possibility that the device has been out of stock and could make a re-entry in stores but it’s highly unlikely given that its successor is getting launched on 14th May. And the fact that the pricing of OP7 won’t be much higher compared to the OP6T, the company won’t continue selling the older device.
Ahead of the launch of the OnePlus 7 series, the pricing of the OnePlus 7 Pro has been leaked online. It reveals that there will be available in three variants — 6GB RAM+128GB storage, 8GB RAM+256GB storage, and 12GB RAM+256GB storage.
The leak reveals that while the 8GB+256GB variants will cost €749/$749, the 12GB+256GB variant will go for €819/$819. From this, it seems that the 6GB RAM variant will cost less but won’t be anywhere near the OP6T price.

However, the leaked pricing is for the ‘Pro’ variant, which isn’t a fair comparison to the OnePlus 6T. The pricing of OnePlus 7 — the direct successor of the OP6T is not yet known, which is likely to be similar to the pricing of the OnePlus 6T smartphone.
