The OnePlus 8T arrives in a few weeks and brings some new features, the key one being support for 65W fast charging, the fastest on a OnePlus phone ever. Ahead of the launch of the phone, OnePlus has cut the price of the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro.

OnePlus 8 Pro Price Cut

Right now, you can grab the 12GB+256GB version for $899, $100 off its launch price. Sadly, the 8GB RAM version is down to $799 from $899.

The OnePlus 8 which is $699 for the 8+128GB version is $599 but is only available in Glacial Green. The 12GB+256GB version is now $699 from its $799 launch price. Sadly, the price cuts are not available in India.

The price cut on the OnePlus 8 makes the phone a sweet deal when compared to the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE which is priced at $699 for the 5G version. However, while it has more RAM, Samsung’s new phone has a higher refresh rate, support for wireless charging, a larger battery, support for storage expansion, and better cameras.
