While OnePlus will announce the launch date today, but some leaks have already suggested that OnePlus could be unveiling the OnePlus 7 on May 14. We’ll have to wait and see if the company confirms the date or not.

What will be most interesting to see however will be how the smartphone brand prices its latest flagship. The prices have gone up of OnePlus devices with every launch but with no impact on the popularity of the OnePlus phones. OnePlus is no longer in that budget phone – premium phone conundrum, looks like the world is accepting it as a premium phone. According to Counterpoint, OnePlus is now in the global top 5 in premium smartphone category.

In India, the smartphone maker managed to top the charts as the number one premium smartphone company with its last devices OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T.
