Leaked OnePlus 9 preorder deals tell us the new phones won’t be cheap

[Chris Smith]

• The OnePlus 9 series will be unveiled on March 8th during a special media event where OnePlus will announce a new strategic partnership.
• A new leak says the OnePlus 9 Pro and OnePlus 9 will be bundled with free earphones during preorders.
• That’s a sign the high-end handsets will continue to be more expensive than fans would want them to be.

Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus is no longer just a startup. Gone are the days when the newest OnePlus flagship would be a lot cheaper than its rivals. And gone are the days when OnePlus would make certain compromises to keep the costs down. The OnePlus phones have received many key upgrades in the past few years that put them on par with their rivals. The OnePlus 8 Pro is the best example of that: a phone with top 2020 specs, 5G support, wireless charging, and IP68 water and dust resistance certification. But the OnePlus 8 Pro also cost almost as much as the iPhone 11 Pro and Galaxy S20 last year. To sweeten the deal, OnePlus threw in various free accessories during preorders that made the OnePlus 8 Pro look more affordable.

A year later, OnePlus is readying the OnePlus 9 launch, and we already have the first leak that hints the Pro version isn’t likely to be more affordable than its predecessor.
