Smartphones Get More Expensive<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buying a OnePlus or Oppo smartphone in India has become more expensive, with both brands increasing the prices of several models across their portfolios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The latest revisions affect multiple smartphones and storage configurations, with OnePlus increasing prices by up to \u20b94,000 and Oppo by up to \u20b95,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The changes come as smartphone manufacturers continue to face higher component costs, particularly for memory and storage components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OnePlus Prices Rise By Up To \u20b94,000<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OnePlus has revised prices across several models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite 8GB + 256GB<\/strong> variant has received the biggest increase, with its price rising by \u20b94,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several other OnePlus models have also become more expensive, with increases of \u20b92,000 to \u20b94,000 depending on the model and configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OnePlus N6 and N6x<\/strong> have also seen price revisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means customers looking to purchase an affected OnePlus smartphone will now have to pay more for exactly the same hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oppo Reno 16 Gets \u20b95,000 Hike<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oppo has made an even larger price adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oppo Reno 16<\/strong> has received a price increase of up to \u20b95,000<\/strong> across its variants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 8GB + 256GB version has increased from \u20b961,999 to \u20b966,999<\/strong>, while the 12GB + 256GB variant has gone from \u20b967,999 to \u20b972,999<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Reno 16c has also become more expensive, with price increases of up to \u20b94,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oppo A Series Also Gets Costlier<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price increase is not limited to Oppo’s premium and mid-range Reno lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company’s more affordable A series has also been affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oppo A6s 5G<\/strong> has received increases of up to \u20b93,000, while the Oppo A6x 5G<\/strong> has become costlier by up to \u20b92,000 depending on the configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the A6s 5G 4GB + 128GB model has increased from \u20b922,999 to \u20b924,999, while the 6GB + 128GB variant has moved from \u20b924,999 to \u20b927,999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The A6x 5G has similarly received price revisions across its variants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Are Smartphone Prices Rising?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest price increases are part of a broader rise in smartphone costs in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memory and storage components have become significantly more expensive amid strong demand from artificial intelligence infrastructure and data centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smartphone manufacturers are facing higher bill-of-materials costs as memory supply becomes tighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pressure has already resulted in price increases across several smartphone brands and segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ‘AI Tax’ On Smartphones<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The growing demand for memory components from AI data centres is having an unexpected effect on consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI infrastructure requires enormous quantities of high-capacity memory and storage, increasing demand for components that are also used in smartphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As component prices rise, manufacturers have increasingly begun passing some of those costs on to consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has created what can effectively be described as an “AI tax” on smartphones<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Brands Could Follow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OnePlus and Oppo are not alone in dealing with rising smartphone costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several other manufacturers have already revised prices in India during 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The broader trend suggests that manufacturers are attempting to protect margins while dealing with higher component and supply-chain costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If memory prices remain elevated, additional price revisions across the industry cannot be ruled out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Phones Could Become Even More Expensive<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The timing could be particularly significant for consumers planning to upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With manufacturers facing higher component costs, upcoming smartphones could launch at higher prices than their predecessors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This could make the traditional strategy of waiting for a new generation less attractive for some buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consumers who find a suitable deal on an existing model may increasingly consider purchasing before another price revision takes effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refurbished Phones Could Benefit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Higher prices for new smartphones could also accelerate India’s growing refurbished smartphone market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As new devices become more expensive, consumers may increasingly look towards older flagship models and certified refurbished phones for better value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shift is already visible in India’s smartphone market, where refurbished devices are gaining popularity as consumers look for premium hardware without paying full retail prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What This Means For Buyers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For consumers, the latest OnePlus and Oppo price revisions mean that the same smartphone can now cost several thousand rupees more than it did previously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest increase is seen on Oppo’s Reno 16, while OnePlus customers face increases of up to \u20b94,000 on selected models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With component costs continuing to remain under pressure, buyers should expect smartphone pricing to remain volatile over the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OnePlus and Oppo have increased the prices of several smartphones in India, with OnePlus raising prices by up to \u20b94,000 and Oppo by as much as \u20b95,000. Oppo’s Reno 16 has received the biggest increase, while the Reno 16c and A6 series have also become more expensive. OnePlus has revised prices on models including the Nord CE6 Lite, N6 and N6x. Rising memory and storage component costs, partly driven by AI data-centre demand, are contributing to higher smartphone prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
