Also, it is going to be interesting to see how much the company will price the special OnePlus 6 Marvel Avengers edition. If we had to guess, it will be priced around Rs 44,000.

The price of the OnePlus 6 series is very high, but on the bright side, it is still very low compared to rival brands such as the Samsung Galaxy S9 (&S9+) and Apple iPhone X, among others.

So far, OnePlus has not made comments on the speculations. We believe it is a matter of time for the company to announce at least price range of the OnePlus 6, as it has done in the past. The company had run a full-page ad on paper with price details of the OnePlus 3 before the formal launch.
