A few reports claim that OnePlus is trying to clear the stocks of the OnePlus 6T to make some way for its successor OnePlus 7, which is expected to launch as early as May this year. A report by GSMArena mentions that apart from stock clearance drive, the price drop might also be the work of the new tax law of China.
To recap, OnePlus 6T features a 6.41-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, 16MP+20MP dual rear camera, 16MP front camera, and in-display fingerprint sensor. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor backed by a 3,700 mAh. The device includes a USB Type-C port but lacks the 3.5mm headphone jack present in the OnePlus 6.
