256GB model will be arriving, though there is no clarity on its price. When it comes to OnePlus 6 and its specifications, most of the key details have been confirmed by the company and they suggest a decent upgrade over the OnePlus 5T.

Pushing out handsets at a rapid pace, OnePlus has launched two smartphones every year since 2016. The OnePlus 6 will be the fifth smartphone in the same amount of time. Since the launch of OnePlus One in 2014, the company has indeed improved upon previous generation flagship handsets in significant ways, but this has also translated to rising prices in each generation. It is quite possible that OnePlus will soon shed the 'value buy' tag and stand alongside the Google Pixel lineup or the Galaxy S series. Because, from being a 'flagship killer' to handsets competing in both specifications and price with smartphones, OnePlus is clearly following an upward trend. Here is a look at the OnePlus pricing history.

When OnePlus launched the 16GB variant, and Rs. 21,999 for the 64GB variant.

The startup Chinese smartphone maker made quite a name for itself with its first device. It then launched the 16GB model of the OnePlus 2 in India, priced at Rs. 22,999, a Rs. 4,000 hike over the 16GB OnePlus One. In the US, the company had priced the OnePlus 2 at $329 and $389 for the 16GB and 64GB variants respectively, corresponding to $30 and $40 dollar hikes.

Coming to the most expensive OnePlus device until then.

With the raised the prices even higher. The OnePlus 5 price in India was set at Rs. 32,999 for the 6GB RAM, 64GB storage variant - a Rs. 3,000 hike, while those who wanted to purchase the model with 8GB RAM, 128GB storage had to shell out Rs. 37,999 - a Rs. 3,000 hike. The OnePlus 5 prices were slightly pricier than in the US, but cheaper than in Europe.

Last year, OnePlus launched an upgraded version of OnePlus 5 - the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition in the country, priced at Rs. 38,999.

Now, with rumours of the OnePlus 6 64GB starting at Rs. 36,999 (a Rs. 4,000 hike if true) and going up to Rs. 39,999 for the 128GB variant (a Rs. 2,000 hike if true), it's clear OnePlus has been raising prices with each year's flagship offerings.

In of pricing as well as specifications, these smartphones have come a long way in the last four years. Based on reports and rumours around OnePlus 6, the smartphone does promise some hearty upgrades that seem quite worth the alleged price tag. OnePlus has always stood out the kind of specifications it has been offering for the price. The new smartphone is said to come with the notch, the latest Snapdragon 845 processor, dust and water resistance, Super Slo Mo feature for video recording, and sport a new design with a glass back. But, snagging the new handset clearly won't be cheap, as it may cost more than all the company's previous smartphones.
