Leaked price
But the biggest news is the leaked pricing of the Oneplus 7 Pro. Ishan Agarwal, a leakster whose inside information has turned out to be positive in the past, has leaked the price of Oneplus 7 Pro along with detailed specification.
According to Ishan Agarwal, Oneplus 7 Pro will be launched at ₹ 49,999 for the base 6GB+128GB and ₹ 52,999 for 8GB+256 GB, while the top end 12GB+256GB goes to ₹ 57,999. These are not official pricing and take these leaks and rumors with a grain of salt.

Oneplus 7 is the true successor to the 6T. It will be priced similar to the 6T, in my opinion. Consider the 7 Pro as a new mobile series from Oneplus and it will be nothing like we have seen so far from their stables. Oneplus 7 will have no bells and whistles, but it will be the affordable flagship killer of 2019.
Stay tuned for more details and detailed review of the Oneplus 7 / 7 Pro.
