According to the Indian media Economictimes the OnePlus Mini would cost less than the OnePlus 2 with a sale price of between 160 and 270 euros. OnePlus he is going to address the market entry or midrange?
We know that since this summer OnePlus plans to release two new smartphones this year: OnePlus 2 that is already known and an OnePlus Mini. As the name suggests, it would be a “mini” version of the flagship killer OnePlus. We have already seen some benchmarks to tour the web in recent weeks. The data sheet is thus slightly revised downwards, especially with MediaTek MT6795T (Helio X10), even if the rest does not change much with a Full HD display, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of flash memory or a sensor picture of 13 megapixels. Mini forces, is expected to find a smaller screen than the 5.5 inches of OnePlus 2. Reduction components allow OnePlus to save some money and sell it OnePlus Mini at a lower price.
Thus, the rumors put forward a (wide) range between 160 and 270 euros. This price does not really surprise us, since it is 70 euros less than the OnePlus 2. However, a price approaching 150 euros seems difficult to imagine, even if Xiaomi offers its Redmi Note 2, equipped with features similar techniques around 170 euros. If this is the case, the OnePlus Mini would be a real threat for the entry level devices. Moreover, even at 270 euros, the OnePlus Mini would still be competitive with other manufacturers offer if one believes the data sheets on the run on the canvas.
The OnePlus Mini should be available by the end of the year and specifically for the Indian Diwali festival to be held on 11 November. The OnePlus Mini should also be geared more for the Indian market. A country that had last year to 7% of OnePlus sales. We must therefore wait a little before his official presentation by the brand.
