7,200 OnePlus 3 handsets arrive in India; check out likely retail price

Mumbai: Chinese smartphone manufacturer OnePlus is all set to launch its fourth smartphone OnePlus 3 tomorrow and the handset will be available in India on Amazon’s website starting June 15.

For customers looking forward to buy the smartphone, a new Zauba listing has emerged suggesting that 7,200 handsets have already been shipped to India at $340 each.

However, the smartphone is expected to be retailed in India at $370, which is roughly Rs 24,000. The listing revealed that all the imported handsets were 64GB versions, graphite-coloured versions. In comparison to the China cost of $460, the price in India will be a good $90 lower.

The listing also revealed that the devices were imported along with Media Kit boxes, cases, and Loop VR headsets. This might be clear indication that the device will go on sale very shortly after it is unveiled tomorrow.

Also, previous leaks and information about the OnePlus 3 suggested that the device will be available at just $305 but the lower priced version might be the variant with least RAM and other specifications.
