While OnePlus had unveiled the latest 8 and 8 Pro models for the Indian market a few weeks ago, there was no official release date. Due to the COVID-19, there were logistic troubles about launching the product. However, OnePlus has revealed that the 8 and 8 Pro go on sale in India on May 29 through its Red Cable Club community, Gadgets360 reported.
Users can find these phones on Amazon, the OnePlus website as well as select retail stores. In addition, early birds can also catch the limited edition pop-up bundle which is available for both phones. It includes the handset along with a pair of Bullets Wireless Z headphones, a Cyan Bumper Case, and a Karbon Bumper Case. This pop-up bundle will only cost customers Rs 1,000 more than the phone’s retail price. This bundle will be exclusively available to Red Cable Club members a day early, on May 28.
The One Plus 8 model has three editions. The 6GB RAM + 128GB storage model costs INR 41,999. If you want better RAM, then there is the 8GB + 128 GB version available for 44,999. Meanwhile, the top tier 12GB + 256GB version costs INR 49,999.
On the other hand, the OnePlus 8 Pro starts with the 8GB +128GB for INR 54,999 and tops out at INR 59,999 for the 12GB + 256 GB model.
There is a variety of launch offers available for customers to avail of.

In addition, customers can get up to 12 months no-cost EMI on OnePlus.in and Amazon.in by purchasing through “popular bank debit and credit cards” or across all retail channels with SBI credit cards. Moreover, Bajaj Finance also offers a chance to purchase the phones at one-third of their total value, while paying the remainder in monthly installments over one year.
