In what seems like a marketing blunder, the price of OnePlus 3 has somehow made its way to a daily newspaper, right before the day of its launch. According to the ad, the OnePlus 3 with 6GB RAM and 64GB storage will be available via Amazon for Rs 27,999.
While most of the hardware mentioned in the ad seems legit, we’re finding it hard to believe that the OnePlus 3 will get a bigger 16-megapixel camera on the front, with merely an 8-megapixel shooter at the back. Clearly, this has to be a typo error.
Also, would OnePlus really look to tie up with Idea to bundle the phone with a service provider? It will be interesting to see if any OnePlus or Amazon India spokesperson comes forward and clarifies on what seems to be like a major goof-up for both parties.
However, if the OnePlus 3 pricing might turn out to be true (with definite change in camera details), that could put the OnePlus 3 at a stronger position against the Xiaomi Mi 5, LeEco Le 2 Max and slew of other options.
The OnePlus 3 India launch is slated for 15 June and we’ll keep you updated on the phone’s pricing, as and when it is announced.
