The last few years have seen the release of a Pro variant of the OnePlus 7, OnePlus 7T, and OnePlus 8. However, there will not be a Pro variant of the OnePlus 8T. The current OnePlus 8 Pro is expected to be sold alongside the upcoming OnePlus 8T. The lack of a Pro variant has been confirmed by OnePlus CEO and founder Liu Zuoho (aka Pete Lau).

In a post on Chinese social media website Weibo, Zuoho explained that the decision was taken as there is no room for an upgrade in the OnePlus 8 Pro. According to him, Pro users will be well served by the current Pro model, which is still a very competent device. The post also hints at a few surprises at the October 14 OnePlus 8T launch event.
