Oct. 29, 2020

OnePlus’ first brush with the mid-range market may not have gone as planned. But, it seems like its second inning is off to a great start. If you don’t know what we’re talking about, OnePlus Nord is the company’s second attempt at making mid-range phones. It launched a couple-odd months ago and has garnered immense praise. And reports now suggest that it has become the best-selling mid-range smartphone in India.

The report further mentions that“the mid-tier (INR 10,000 – INR 20,000) segment registered the highest growth and reached its highest ever share in a quarter.”This immense popularity also saw OnePlus ship over 10 lakh units in this quarter, driven largely by the OnePlus Nord, as per another report.

OnePlus seems to be happy with the success of its budget-centric sub-brand, Nord. Itrecently addedtwo new smartphones to the Nord lineup, the Nord N10 5G and N100, in Europe. There is currently no update on whether OnePlus plans to bring these two phones to India or not. We got a new Special Edition colorway for the original Nord called Gray Ash on the OnePlus 8T launch day.

The Chinese giant is shedding its premium and flagship image in search of profits. It has not only stepped foot into the budget smartphone space but also the smart TV segment. We have heard rumors of theOnePlus Watchalso being in the works.
