OnePlus One finally marching towards India

Just after the launch of Xiaomi in India, there is a buzz that the flagship killer device OnePlus One may officially arrive in India. After the launch, this phone has created quite a buzz in the tech community because of its high-end specifications and a low a price. Though India was not on the initial launch list but the sources say that with the increasing attention in the Indian market they are not going to miss the opportunity.

The OnePlus One runs on CyanogenMod 11S based on Android KitKat 4.4. It’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 2.5GHz quad-core chipset and has an Adreno 330 GPU. It has 3GB RAM and is available in 16GB and 64GB variants. It has a 13MP camera with Sony Exmor IMX 214 sensors and a 5MP selfie camera. It even captures 4K video and also slow motion at 720p resolution at 120 fps. It sports a 5.5-inch Full HD display and has Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

With all these specs one would think it to be at a price level of HTC One M8 or Sony Xperia Z2. It’s even cheaper than Moto X. The 16GB variant costs $299(`17,900) and 64GB costs $349(`20,900). Well it’s definitely going to kill all the smartphone below 20K.

“Over the past months, we’ve seen tremendous interest from India, despite not having launched there. We have many customers in India purchasing to the US, and then asking a friend to bring it over or trans-shipping it. Some have even purchased the device from scalpers. Looking at our traffic, India ranks number 8, outweighing many of our launch countries.”

Well it seems like Indian market is going to be flooded with the best smartphones in the mid segment giving a hard time to the customers to decide. But they will be having a lot of choices. There is Xiaomi, Moto, Asus, Jolla, and the list continues.
