OnePlus will be soon hosting its online event to unveil the OnePlus 8T as a successor to the OnePlus 7T. While rumours claimed that there won't be a OnePlus 8T Pro, there wasn't any official word on the same. Until now, when the company's CEO Pete Lau has suggested that OnePlus won't launch the OnePlus 8T Pro. Read on to know more about this.
OnePlus 8T Pro won't be a reality
To put some of the speculations to rest, OnePlus' Pete Lau took to the Chinese micro-blogging site Weibo and suggested that this year we will only get to see the OnePlus 8T. The post suggested that those who wish to go for a Pro version of a OnePlus device should opt for the OnePlus 8 Pro that was launched a few months ago.
While there isn't a clear reason for it, Lau has suggested that 'there is no room for upgrade' to the OnePlus 8T. This somehow makes sense since the OnePlus 8 Pro, though an expensive OnePlus device, comes loaded with a number of premium features. This would ensure some difference between the OnePlus 8T and the OnePlus 8 Pro, unlike the OnePlus 7 Pro and the OnePlus 7T Pro that hardly had much of a difference. It will also help the company to divert people's attention towards the OnePlus 8 Pro and sell it more.
