Digital Walker, the exclusive distributor of OnePlus in the Philippines, has taken us by surprise — in a good way.

The company has announced that it’s releasing the OnePlus 7 with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage locally for P26,990 (around $518). What. A. Competitive. Price.

This should give the Xiaomi Mi 9 — another Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 phone — a worthy rival. The 6GB/64GB and 6GB/128GB Mi 9 variants are selling for P23,990 ($461) and P21,990 ($422), respectively.
