OnePlus launched the OnePlus 8T in India in October 2020. It was the brand’s cheapest flagship smartphone for the second half of the last year. Over six months after its release, the handset receives its second price cut in the country.
OnePlus 8T comes in two storage configurations – 8GB + 128GB and 12 + 256GB. These two variants debuted at ₹42,999 and ₹45,999 respectively.
Ahead of the OnePlus 9 series launch, the phone got its first price drop. The price of the device was decreased by ₹3,000. Hence, they had been selling for ₹39,999 and ₹42,999 for the past few weeks.
Now, as the brand is about to announce the OnePlus Nord CE 5G, it has once again cut the price of the OnePlus 8T by ₹1,000. As a result, the smartphone is now retailing for ₹38,999 and ₹41,999.
The new price of the OnePlus 8T finally makes it cheaper than the recently introduced OnePlus 9R, which costs ₹39,999 and ₹43,999 respectively. For those unaware, the latter phone is basically the former device with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 instead of Snapdragon 865.
Since both these handsets released with Android 11, they have similar software support, however, the newer one may receive major updates first. So the buying decision depends on which design and color the customer prefers.
