OnePlus and Oppo have increased prices across a wide range of smartphones in India, adding further pressure to an already challenging market, driven by rising component costs and strong demand from AI data centres.
OnePlus and Oppo have raised prices across a wide range of smartphones in India, adding fresh pressure to a market already facing repeated revisions. According to Communications Today, the latest changes cover both premium and lower-priced handsets, with increases stretching from Rs 1,000 to Rs 5,000 depending on model and configuration.
For OnePlus, the price moves affect several Nord and N-series devices. Smartprix reported that the OnePlus 15R has seen a Rs 5,000 rise across all variants, marking its fourth increase since launch, while Communications Today said the Nord 6, Nord CE6, Nord CE6 Lite, N6 and N6x have also been repriced. The largest jump in that line-up is the Nord CE6 Lite 8GB+256GB model, which has risen by Rs 4,000 to Rs 34,999. The company has not publicly detailed a fresh explanation, but industry trackers say higher component costs, particularly for memory and storage, have been a key driver of recent hikes.
Oppo has followed a similar path, revising prices across several models effective from Tuesday. Communications Today reported that the Reno 16 5G has gone up by Rs 5,000 to Rs 71,999, while another Reno 16 variant has risen by Rs 4,000. The Reno 16c 5G has also been adjusted, alongside the A6s 5G and A6x 5G ranges. Separately, 91mobiles reported that Oppo’s A6 5G, A6 Pro 5G and F33 5G have been increased by Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000, underscoring how widely the revisions are now being applied across the portfolio.
The pattern reflects a broader pricing reset in India’s smartphone market. Gizmochina said brands including OnePlus, Nothing, Xiaomi and Realme began raising prices from 1 May 2026, linking the trend to higher DRAM and NAND costs and stronger demand from AI data centres. TechNetBooks also reported that Oppo and OnePlus introduced earlier price increases in March 2026 after reviewing manufacturing costs. Taken together, the latest rounds suggest that handset makers are passing on component inflation more aggressively, leaving buyers with fewer stable price points across both mid-range and entry-level devices.
