Description:
An early Amazon listing has revealed the possible price of the OnePlus 10T, and it's the same as the OnePlus 10 Pro.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The OnePlus 10T is expected to land this year, and one of the big questions around it is whether it will be a lower-end or higher-end handset than the OnePlus 10 Pro and a new price leak suggests OnePlus itself cant really decide.

Leaker @passionategeekz spotted a listing for the phone on Amazon UK and shared it with RootMyGalaxy . The listing has since been removed, but not before the site got a screenshot of it, in which we can see a price of 799.

That converts to roughly $965 / AU$1,415, but more interestingly that UK
price is exactly the same as the starting price of the OnePlus 10 Pro a
phone which, for reference, starts at $899 in the US (it's not available in Australia). (Image credit: RootMyGalaxy / Passionategeekz / Amazon)

This appears to be the starting price of the OnePlus 10T too, as its for a model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which is the lowest configuration were expecting to see and the same as the OnePlus 10 Pros base
configuration. So if this listing is right, it seems that OnePlus might sell the two phones for exactly the same price.

This listing includes some other specs too, if you want an idea of what youll be getting for your money. As well as the RAM and storage, it lists a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, an FHD+ AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a triple-lens camera with a 50MP primary sensor, and 5G.

The OnePlus 10T listed here is also said to come in a Moonstone Black shade, and to include a charger and a case in the box. We would, however, take all
of this with a pinch of salt early listings can be wrong, and since the listing has been removed, we also cant verify that the screenshot wasnt edited. Analysis: pick your priorities

Assuming this price is accurate, and that the various spec leaks weve heard are too, OnePlus is seemingly planning to charge as much for the 10T as for the 10 Pro, despite the OnePlus 10T having a lower-resolution screen, a smaller battery, and an inferior camera setup.

On the other hand, the OnePlus 10T reportedly has a more powerful chipset and faster charging. So the choice might come down to which specs you value most.

Its also possible that the OnePlus 10 Pro will get a price cut when the OnePlus 10T launches, which would position the new model as OnePluss top flagship, but then youre in the position of paying more for specs that in
some areas are inferior.

So identical pricing could make sense, but it could also make the OnePlus 10T a tough sell, since anyone interested in a new OnePlus flagship has had
months to buy the OnePlus 10 Pro, and the 10T doesnt sound like that much of an upgrade overall it'll be interesting to see where it ranks on our list of the best OnePlus phones .
