OnePlus & OPPO Hike Prices in China — India Could Be Next

The RAM crisis is no longer just a storage problem — it’s now directly hitting your phone’s price tag. OnePlus and OPPO have officially raised prices for several smartphones in China from March 16, 2026, citing “rising costs of several key mobile phone components, including high-speed storage hardware.” Some models have already seen two price hikes since launch. India hasn’t been affected yet — but history suggests it won’t stay that way for long.

OnePlus & OPPO China Price Hikes: Full Breakdown

The Turbo lineup and Ace 6T have each seen two separate hikes since launch, adding up to ¥400 in total. Notably, OPPO’s flagship Find and Reno series, along with the Oppo Pad lineup, are not affected for now.

Why This Matters for India Buyers

These price hikes are currently only affecting OnePlus and OPPO devices in China — but that’s little comfort given the trend. Samsung already raised Galaxy S26 prices globally, and other Chinese brands including Vivo, Xiaomi, iQOO, and HONOR are also preparing to adjust prices later this month, with new models potentially seeing hikes of CNY 600 to CNY 1,000.

The root cause is the same across all of them: AI data centre demand has consumed global NAND and DRAM supply, leaving manufacturers with no choice but to pass the cost on.

Based on the OnePlus 15’s new China price of ¥4,499, the upcoming OnePlus 15T could realistically launch at around ¥3,999 — which would set a new benchmark for OnePlus mid-flagship pricing in India too. Check out our full coverage of the global RAM crisis impact on smartphones at Technosports.
