The flagship-killer smartphone, OnePlus One is reportedly gearing up to enter the Indian market during sometime this December. At the moment, the Chinese company is said to be in talks with e-retailers in the country, for partnerships with them in selling the handset.
Describing India as a ‘super-hot market with rapid data growth,’ Carl Pei, who’s the director of OnePlus global told The Economic Times that ‘this is the right time to enter the market.’ He also revealed that talks with three leading e-commerce sites are currently underway, and that the final decision on who the exclusive partner will be is to be taken this week.
The company’s plans apparently include releasing the 64GB variant of the smartphone in India first. This will then be followed by the 16GB model. While we don’t have any idea about its pricing at the moment, we can expect the device to cost somewhere around the Rs 20000.
