If you jumped on the OnePlus bandwagon a few years ago because of its solid phones with almost too-good-to-be-true prices, the OnePlus of 2020 is basically unrecognizable.<\/p>\n<p>OnePlus is now in the same situation as so many other companies: it needs to fill in the newly-created void underneath its ever-more-expensive flagship phones with a value-focused offering at a lower price. But in the case of OnePlus, it&#8217;s <em>even more<\/em> necessary because of just how rapidly its phones increased in price. If you, like most people, only upgrade your phone every two years, you bought <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/oneplus-6-review\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\">a OnePlus 6 for only $530<\/a> \u2014 and are now being asked to spend 30% more on a OnePlus 8, which isn&#8217;t its top-end model like the 6 was, or 70% more on an 8 Pro.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pull left\">\n<p>There&#8217;s no disputing the OnePlus 8 series are great phones \u2014 but they&#8217;re expensive phones, too.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While there&#8217;s no disputing that the OnePlus 8, and perhaps the 8 Pro in particular, are incredible phones that really do challenge the top-end competition for less money, that isn&#8217;t <em>really<\/em> the point. OnePlus fans don&#8217;t just buy OnePlus phones because they&#8217;re a great value against the &#8220;overpriced&#8221; competition; they also bought them, in part, because they were (historically) just downright inexpensive.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter if the OnePlus 8 Pro is a better value than the Galaxy S20+ because it&#8217;s $300 less \u2014 ultimately, the 8 Pro <strong>is still $900<\/strong>, and that&#8217;s too much for many people to consider spending. At the same time, if you&#8217;re a OnePlus fan, there&#8217;s a chance even the $700 for the OnePlus 8 is too much \u2014\u00a0and it&#8217;s a core reason why I advocated at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/oneplus-8-review\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\">the end of my OnePlus 8 review<\/a> that people should just buy a discounted 7T instead.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/oneplus-needs-oneplus-z-order-win-back-its-longtime-fans\" title=\"A budget-minded OnePlus Z is necessary to win back longtime OnePlus fans\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large_wm_brw\/public\/article_images\/2020\/04\/oneplus-x-times-three.jpg?itok=DL3poz6H\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>OnePlus already had this idea, nearly five years ago, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/oneplus-x-review\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\">OnePlus X<\/a>. It was an ill-fated phone that failed for multiple reasons, but showed where OnePlus had its focus: a multi-device, multi-tiered strategy. The nominal figures feel crazy in today&#8217;s context, as the OnePlus X was just $250, and the same-generation &#8220;flagship&#8221; OnePlus 2 was $380. But the percentages matter here \u2014\u00a0the X was roughly one-third cheaper than the phone above it. One-third less than the $700 OnePlus 8 would put the OnePlus Z at $465 \u2014 and\u00a0it&#8217;s no surprise that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/oneplus-z\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\">the rumored pricing right now<\/a> is between $400 and $500.<\/p>\n<p>That would make the OnePlus Z basically the same price as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/oneplus-5-review\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\">OnePlus 5<\/a> when it launched three years ago \u2014\u00a0arguably the peak of OnePlus &#8220;flagship killer&#8221; fandom. And it would be an excellent price point to retain, or win back, the OnePlus fans that care dearly about price when shopping for their phone.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pull left\">\n<p>OnePlus is poised to lose its price-conscious fanbase if it doesn&#8217;t bring in a solid inexpensive option.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>OnePlus has clearly kept a majority of its price-conscious fanbase even as its prices have risen considerably in the past five years. (And it&#8217;s impossible to measure how many it <em>saved<\/em> by adding much-requested features.) But it&#8217;s also lost many of those fans to other scrappy companies that are providing better value at lower prices \u2014 and it&#8217;ll be poised to lose more as those who bought into the OnePlus 7 series look for an upgrade next year, only to be faced with the same sharp jumps the OnePlus 6 owners are seeing today.<\/p>\n<p>All indications are that the OnePlus Z <em>will<\/em> launch at a really solid price. But then again, so did the OnePlus X \u2014\u00a0and, well, that was a complete failure. Obviously the second part of the equation, after you hit the proper price point, is to deliver a really good phone for the money. But OnePlus has a great track record of doing just that \u2014\u00a0let&#8217;s hope that it hasn&#8217;t forgotten how to deliver at a lower price after a few years of working with substantially bigger budgets.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/oneplus-z\" title=\"\" class=\"cta norewrite\" georiot-ignore=\"true\">OnePlus Z: News, Leaks, Release Date, Specs, and Rumors<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- BEGIN RECO-BLOCK --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"category reco-block\">Pay more, get more<\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"product\">OnePlus 8<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/oneplus-needs-oneplus-z-order-win-back-its-longtime-fans\" title=\"A budget-minded OnePlus Z is necessary to win back longtime OnePlus fans\" georiot-ignore=\"true\" class=\"norewrite\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large\/public\/article_images\/2020\/04\/oneplus-8-black-front-render.png?itok=5X2MH6YM\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/e?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.awin1.com%2Fcread.php%3Fawinmid%3D10855%26awinaffid%3D103504%26clickref%3DUUacUdUnU89580YYr%26p%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.oneplus.com%252F8&amp;token=ZKeEFJ76\" title=\"\" class=\"cta shop norewrite\" rel=\"nofollow\" georiot-ignore=\"true\">$700 at OnePlus<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"subtitle\">The more affordable OnePlus phone isn&#8217;t so affordable<\/p>\n<p class=\"end\">The OnePlus 8 is a great well-rounded high-end phone that delivers on the OnePlus theme \u2014 but does so at a higher price, with more features to match.<\/p>\n<p><!-- END RECO-BLOCK --><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/androidcentral\/~4\/Wm8cofGg7QU\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\"><figure class= \\\"wp-block-image alignnone \\\"><img src= \\\"http:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo2-2.png\\\" alt=\\\"IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\\\"\/><figcaption>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/br>Find A Teacher Form:\r\n<\/br>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1vREBnX5n262umf4wU5U2pyTwvk9O-JrAgblA-wH9GFQ\/viewform?edit_requested=true#responses\r\n<\/br><\/br>Email:\r\n<\/br>public1989two@gmail.com<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>\r\n<a href=www.itsec.hk style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.hk<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itsec.vip\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.vip<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itseceu.uk\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itseceu.uk<\/a><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>It&#8217;s time to get back to basics.<\/p>\n<p>The OnePlus 8 Pro, starting at $900, is no longer representative of the classic OnePlus phone that earned the company its early recognition.
