OnePlus 3 to Launch officially at Rs 27,999 in India with 6GB RAM, 64GB Storage

Today a newspaper advertisement has revealed the official price of the OnePlus 3 Smartphone in India. We were already suspecting the price of Rs 28,000 & the following clipping confirms the same at Rs 27,999. This roughly translates to $417 but then it is probably on the higher side when compared to the last years model. There were earlier speculations that the brand would launch 2 variants with 4GB & 6GB of RAM but now it is all clear that they are going to up from the last years flagship killer with a 6GB of RAM, that’s not yet available in any Smartphone available in India. There are already reports that the Galaxy Note 7 that is going to launch at the Unpacked event in August 2016.

We were tipped by our reader Chirag Sharma, while the advertisement was published in the Hindustan Times newspaper. It clearly looks like a mistake & the advertisement was published one day in advance, but this clears all the pricing doubts.

Finally, there’s some progress that most of the users who have been following the One Plus 3 launch have been waiting. There are a total of 7200 units of the Smartphone being imported as reported by Zauba on 9th June. According to the Import data, the phones imported are in Graphite colour & could be the first batch since the website reports data generally late. A total of 105 Media Kit boxes have also been Imported along with the Smartphones that should go on sale after the official launch on 15th June in India. There were 3 more shipments tracked, totalling up to 24,480 units of this Smartphone model being imported to India.

The Import pricing is at Rs 22,858 that’s almost close to the pricing of the One Plus 2 Import pricing of Rs 22,606 & that hints that the retail price of One Plus 3 phone may be also around Rs 24,999. We are not sure about this but the speculations are based on what was seen during the OnePlus 2 launch last year.
