According to their Registration of Interest site that went live a few hours ago, the OnePlus 6 will start at Php 30,990 for the 64GB version, and Php 33,990 for the 128GB version. Digital Walker says they’ll be offering these two variants for now, with the 256GB coming after a few weeks.
That’s a higher SRP than the last device of the company, the OnePlus 5T, which retailed for Php 26,990 for the 64GB variant and Php 30,990 for the 128GB variant. That’s a Php 5K price jump from last year’s model, which puts the OnePlus 6 above the 30K mark.
Affordable Flagship Comparo: OnePlus 6 VS ASUS ZenFone 5z VS Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s
That means it no longer holds the crown as the most affordable Snapdragon 845-equipped flagship in the Philippines. That title goes to the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s, with its Php 27,990 SRP. It’s not even second place, as the ASUS ZenFone 5z is priced at Php 29,995 for the 128GB version.
The OnePlus 6 will come with freebies for the first few people who get it, including a Baseus MVP USB-C Cable, Motorola Buds Earphones and a Php 1,000 Voucher. Phone purchases via Digital Walker also nets you 18 months of official warranty as well.
No firm local launch date has been set for the OnePlus 6.
