OnePlus 8 Lite could be the second mid-range smartphone. The last mid-range phone from the company was the not so popular OnePlus X. Earlier reports have already shared the render and specification leaks of the smartphone, but a new report reveals the pricing of the phone. Tipster Ishan Agarwal, tweeted that the rumoured OnePlus 8 Lite smartphone will be priced around £400, which translates to around Rs 38,000.
If we go by the translated pricing, the OnePlus 8 Lite will not be affordable in India by any sense. The OnePlus 7T was launched for a starting price of Rs 37,999, so the pricing looks more like what the OnePlus 8 will cost and not the OnePlus 8 Lite.
The OnePlus 7T Pro was launched for Euro 699 globally, and while it translates to around Rs 58,000, it was announced for Rs 53,999 in India. So, there’s a high chance that the OnePlus 8 Lite will be priced in the affordable price bracket.
