Price Likely to Shoot Up Owing to 5G Technology

The people at Fudzilla have revealed through sources aware of the matter that the OnePlus 5G phone is expected to see a $100 rise over the previous price of the OnePlus 6T. To give you a perspective, right now the OnePlus 6T costs $549 in the USA and € 549 in Europe. Given this price tag, the new 5G phone from OnePlus is said to start retailing at $549 in the USA. Further Fudzilla has also reported that OnePlus is going to launch a 5G variant of the OnePlus 7. This revelation has led us to believe that the third launch of the 5G phone by OnePlus will not be altogether different than the OnePlus 7. OnePlus had also earlier revealed that it would not ship the standard OnePlus 7 with 5G capability since that would increase the price tag of the phone, making it unattractive for the consumers. Even then, the 5G smartphone from OnePlus is not expected to be exorbitantly priced when compared to the other premium 5G smartphones from Samsung or Huawei. In India, OnePlus launched the OnePlus 6 this year at Rs 34,999 followed by OnePlus 6T at the price range of Rs 37,999.

OnePlus 5G Smartphone to Be Seen at MWC 2019

The OnePlus 5G phone is expected to make its first debut in MWC 2019 which is going to be held in Barcelona, Spain. Not only that, but other smartphone manufacturers are also expected to showcase their first 5G devices in the upcoming MWC 2019. On the same lines as some other smartphones, the OnePlus 5G device will pack the Snapdragon 855 SoC with Qualcomm’s X50 5G modem. This is also the first processor from the chipset manufacturer to be made from the 7nm fabrication process. This new chipset from Qualcomm is also expected to bring a significant improvement over the previous Qualcomm 845 processor built from the 10nm architecture. The new Qualcomm 855 is also going to come with a dedicated NPU (Neural Processing Unit) for AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Machine Learning applications.
