OnePlus 15R Price in India Hiked
The price of the OnePlus 15R has been revised on the official OnePlus India website. The handset is listed at a starting price of Rs. 50,499 for the base 12GB + 256GB RAM and storage variant. Its 512GB storage variant, meanwhile, now costs Rs. 55,499.
For context, the OnePlus 15R was launched in India at a starting price of Rs. 47,999 for the 12GB + 256GB variant. The 12GB + 512GB configuration, meanwhile, was priced at Rs. 52,999. The brand also introduced launch offers for the smartphone, with Axis and HDFC Bank customers eligible to take advantage of card discounts.
This lowered the effective sale price of the mid-flagship to Rs. 44,999 and Rs. 47,999 for the 256GB and 512GB variants, respectively.
Comparing the previous prices with the hiked rates reveals a difference of Rs. 2,500 for both configurations of the handset.
The brand, however, has not issued a clarification regarding the revised prices of the OnePlus 15R. Gadgets 360 has reached out to the company for comment. We will update this story if and when we receive a response.
A price hike for the OnePlus 15R has been on the cards for quite a while now. In February, tipster Abhishek Yadav claimed that the mid-flagship could soon see an MOP (Market Operating Price) revision, starting as early as March. The 12GB RAM and 256GB onboard storage variant of the OnePlus 15R was tipped to cost Rs. 51,999, while the price of the 512GB variant was expected to be revised to Rs. 56,999. However, this did not come to fruition.
Compared to the 13R, notably, the OnePlus 15R witnessed a price increase of about Rs. 5,000, partly due to the ongoing global shortage of memory components.
