Smartphone prices in India are on the rise, with brands such as OnePlus and Nothing implementing significant price hikes across various models. The OnePlus 15 and OnePlus 15R have seen increases of ₹2,500 to ₹6,000, with the OnePlus 15 (12GB/256GB) now priced at ₹77,999, up from ₹72,999. Similarly, the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro has increased to ₹44,999, reflecting a trend that is not isolated to these brands. Other manufacturers, including Samsung and Motorola, are also adjusting their pricing strategies amid a global RAM shortage. This shortage has been exacerbated by rising demand for artificial intelligence devices, leading to increased manufacturing costs. As a result, industry experts suggest that these price hikes may just be the beginning, with potential further increases expected in both high-end and mid-range smartphone categories in the coming months.
