OnePlus may launch new N series phones next month: Here is what we know
Follow UsOnePlus is reportedly preparing a new N series lineup focused on affordable smartphones in India.
Some upcoming N series models could be priced below Rs 20,000, targeting budget-conscious buyers.
The new OnePlus N series is tipped to launch in India as early as July, though official details are still awaited.
OnePlus is reportedly planning to enter the budget smartphone market in India with a new N series lineup. According to a recent report, the company is developing budget-friendly phones for users seeking a combination of features without investing a fortune. It would certainly come as a surprise to most people, as OnePlus is mostly recognised for its high-end phones. Even though the company has its Nord series, which was meant to be more affordable, it mostly stays above the Rs 20,000 price range. The new N series, on the other hand, could bring that price down and make OnePlus phones available to more people. If the report turns out to be accurate, OnePlus could soon enter one of the most competitive smartphone segments in the country.

Thoughts on this? Will you get one?
Reports also claim that some of the new models are expected to sell for less than Rs 20,000. As of now, the exact number of phones in the new lineup has not been disclosed. Nevertheless, it is said that OnePlus intends to develop products for different segments within the budget category. This way, the company can capture both entry-level buyers and more advanced users looking to buy value-for-money products.
It is also worth mentioning that industry insiders speculate whether the new range shares any resemblance with Realme smartphones after the two companies integrated their businesses. However, no further information has been released regarding this assumption.

Why the budget segment matters
India is one of the biggest smartphone markets in the world. The budget smartphones sector is quite competitive in nature, with companies such as Xiaomi, Lava, and iQOO bringing out their feature-rich products at aggressive pricing. Large batteries, high refresh rate displays and capable cameras have become common even in lower price brackets.
For OnePlus, entering this category could open the door to a much wider customer base. It may also bring the company’s OxygenOS software experience to users who previously found OnePlus devices out of reach.
