Is OnePlus 8 Pro worth buying?
Let’s be honest here!
There is no doubt that the new OnePlus 8 Pro is a premium device that can deliver high performance, the bummer here is just the pricing. OnePlus has always established itself as the flagship killer, the device that can outperform some of the best smartphones in the market, including iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and Google Pixel. They were always the company that gives premium features at an affordable price and that is what makes them a winner. And honestly, $999 (75,000 Rs) is not affordable pricing; at the same price, you can get an iPhone 11 or Samsung Galaxy.
Indeed, the new OnePlus 8 Pro will perform as equal as Samsung Galaxy or may be able to capture a better picture than an iPhone, but it will never become iPhone, Galaxy or Pixel. It’s high time for OnePlus to come out with a different marketing strategy to capture the affordable market. Yes, the device is great, but OnePlus is no longer the value for money smartphone for middle earning people at least for USA.
