OnePlus 7 vs OnePlus 6T: Which One to Buy?

OnePlus 7 Release Date & Price

Here's where things get tricky. For the last several years OnePlus has released a new phone around May or June, and then their second phone in November. It's a system that works, mostly. 

However, they're also WAY behind Samsung, LG, and usually Motorola when they release a new phone in the summertime. Now that OnePlus is one T-Mobile, works with Verizon, and is getting recognition around the world, they're speeding up. 

In April the company confirmed a May 14th launch event for the OnePlus 7 Series. They might get released the exact same day, or a week later, but either way, we have a little over a week to wait.  

As for the price, we know the OnePlus 7 will be affordable. That's what made the company successful. Releasing phones for 50% of the best Galaxy or iPhone. 

The OnePlus 6T base model was $549, and we believe the base model of the OnePlus 7 will cost $549 again, or be even cheaper, potentially even $499. They'll have other options with more RAM/storage and different colors that cost more, but they'll keep the main phone affordable.

However, the bigger and better OnePlus 7 Pro is probably going to be a significant upgrade everywhere, including the price. A few leaks and rumors suggest a $749 starting price for the big 6.67-inch OnePlus 7 Pro. And if so, that's still an excellent deal and potentially the best phone on the market for $250 less than the Galaxy S10 Plus.

It's all pretty exciting, really. That said, if you need a phone today the OnePlus 6T is still absolutely worth buying.
