The OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition is finally going to be announced tomorrow, putting an end to a long period of leaks, rumors, and teasers. With just 24 hours left to go, though, the flagship smartphone’s pricing has appeared online and it’s certainly not cheap.

In Europe, the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition will retail at either €849 or €859 depending on the market. Tipster Ishan Agarwal says the flagship features 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage as standard but this still represents a price hike of €30 over the equivalent OnePlus 7 Pro. It’s also significantly higher than the €699/€709 price tags of the 6/128GB OnePlus 7 Pro and the €589/€599 cost of the OnePlus 7T which was announced just a couple of weeks ago and goes on sale Friday, October 18.

Aside from a few changes to the exterior, the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition is expected to be virtually identical to the non-McLaren 7T Pro. This means consumers will be able to find Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855+, a 4,085mAh battery, and Android 10 straight out of the box coupled with the latest version of Oxygen OS. In addition to all of this, a triple-camera setup on the rear which itself is identical to the one found on the OnePlus 7 Pro is rumored alongside a new laser autofocus system.

Separate rumors also suggest a 5G version is on the way although this will probably be limited to a handful of markets including the US, where it’ll reportedly be sold as a Verizon exclusive rather than a T-Mobile model.
