Oppo India has released a new pricing guidance for distributors and retailers while releasing a new price list for some of its budget and mid-range smartphones in India. The new price will be effective for four of its phones starting today, July 1, and includes the Oppo A11K, A15, A15s and A53s 5G. Four phones are either more expensive by Rs 500 or Rs 1,000 depending on which one you go for, and while Opposition While it has not issued any statement or explanation behind the increase in prices, it probably represents higher manufacturing cost that many OEMs are expected to bear as a result of the ongoing market crisis for the chipset. While the new prices are not yet visible across all online retailers, they should be updated soon.
According to the new price, share Here is the new, increased price list for the above four Oppo phones, posted on Twitter by user Abhishek Yadav:
- Oppo A11K: Old Price: Rs 8,490, New Price: Rs 8,990, Hike: Rs 500
- Oppo A15 (2GB): Old Price: Rs 8,490, New Price: Rs 9,490, Hike: Rs 1,000
- Oppo A15 (3GB): Old Price: Rs 9,990, New Price: Rs 10,490, Hike: Rs 500
- Oppo A15s (64GB): Old Price: Rs 11,490, New Price: Rs 12,490, Hike: Rs 1,000
- Oppo A53s 5G (8GB): Old Price: Rs 16,990, New Price: Rs 17,990, Hike: Rs 1,000
At the moment, Oppo hasn’t specified a price revision for the 128GB variant of the A15s or the 6GB RAM variant of the A53s 5G. Consequently, the Oppo A15s 128GB also continues to sell for Rs 12,490 – the same as its 64GB storage variant. Given that this is counterintuitive, Oppo may soon release a price correction. Meanwhile, the 6GB RAM variant of the Oppo A53s 5G continues to retail for Rs 14,990, making it one of the most affordable 5G smartphones in India right now.
Interestingly, the price hike comes on the same day that popular tipster Evan Blass posted official-looking renders of the Oppo A16s on Twitter. The latter is expected to replace the A15 series in the markets where it sells, including India. The A16 is expected to be an incremental upgrade compared to the A15, and is tipped to offer a slightly refined overall design with the Helio G35 SoC from MediaTek. Most other specs including display, battery and RAM are expected to remain the same.
Considering that Oppo has already increased the price of the A15, it is likely that the A16 could be offered in India at the same price as the A15 – especially considering how sensitive the Indian smartphone market is.
