OnePlus 5T will be launched next week but there have been some diverse views concerning the price of this flagship killer. Recently, sources claim that this smartphone will sell at a similar price as OnePlus 5. Now,Ā OnePlusĀ CEO Pete Lau has said that OnePlus users will appreciate what is coming. The confusion now is the fact that some sectors are interpreting Peter Lau’s comments to suggest that OnePlus 5T will be more expensive than OnePlus 5 because he stated that “cost of smartphone components is rising but phones are also getting better”. Considering the second part of his statement “OnePlus users will appreciate what’s coming”, it is probable that OnePlus may have fixed the bearest minimum price for this smartphone thus making it very affordable.
Cost of smartphone components is rising, but phones are also getting better. OnePlus users will appreciate what's coming.

Gizchina News of the week
Recently, a fan asked Lau ifĀ 4,000 Yuan will be enough to purchase the OnePlus 5T and heĀ said it is enough. Recall that the 64 GB and 128 GB storage variant ofĀ OnePlus 5 cost 2,999 Yuan (~$452) and 3,499 Yuan (~$527) respectively. Although there are rumors that the 5T will be more expensive, the difference will be very minimal.
The OnePlus 5T is expected to come with some improvements such as a larger screen,Ā dual rear cameras, and battery. Many believe that these improvements willĀ increase the cost the 5T but the price is likely to stay the same or really close to the OnePlus 5, which will give OnePlus fans something to appreciate as Lau said.
Hmmmmm no. He was refering the new components not the price. Not going to be affordable.
