Looks like it’s a Chinese outburst of sorts in the Indian market. With companies like Xiaomi and Oppo entering the Indian smartphone market lately and receiving a gigantic response from this highly competitive market, other companies are also now looking to make inroads here. Next in line is Chinese smartphone startup, OnePlus that is planning to launch its first and only smartphone, the One in India very soon. There is however no definite news regarding pricing and availability of the device as of now.

The OnePlus One is currently available at an introductory price of $299 (unlocked, without contract) for the 16GB model (roughly Rs 18,300). The 64GB variant will be available at $349 (roughly Rs 21,350).
