Fight broke out! OnePlus added an extra page to the PPT due to Lei Jun's sudden request Lu Weibing responded

【Phoneauto News】On August 16th, the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro was officially released, and its starting price of 2999 yuan received much praise. However, before the price was announced, something more interesting happened.

OnePlus Ace 2 Pro Launch Event

Li Jie, the President of OnePlus China, revealed at the launch event that at the Xiaomi event on August 14th, Xiaomi founder, chairman, and CEO Lei Jun compared the Redmi K60 Ultimate Edition with OnePlus’ products that have been on the market for about 8 months. This comparison directly brought “OnePlus pricing” to the trending searches, so OnePlus added a last-minute slide to the presentation, comparing the specifications of the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro with a competitor’s product, the 13.

• OnePlus Ace 2 Pro Genshin Impact-themed gift box officially released, priced at 3599 yuan
• OnePlus is rising strongly sales in the first half of the year have increased over three times, the fastest in the industry!
• MediaTek and Baidu jointly launched the PaddlePaddle and WENXIN Large-scale Model Ecological Co-creation Program

Li Jie said, “Originally, this slide was not planned,” “it was added at the last minute.” In addition, OnePlus also compared the new Ace 2 Pro with the competitor’s K60 Ultimate Edition. Li Jie said, “I am very reluctant to compare these two products because they are completely different in terms of positioning. But since everyone loves to see these comparisons…”

OnePlus Ace 2 Pro Pricing

OnePlus emphasized that their product performance is comparable, but their pricing is more extreme; their price is close, but their product performance is more leading. In terms of pricing, the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro 12GB+256GB version is priced at 2999 yuan, the 16GB+512GB version is priced at 3399 yuan, and the 24GB+1TB version is priced at 3999 yuan. Without comparing them to competitor’s products, compared to the previous generation product, the OnePlus Ace Pro, the Ace 2 Pro has been upgraded in all aspects, but its starting price has been directly reduced by 500 yuan, which is indeed very attractive.
