The era of affordable 5G is vanishing. OnePlus just hiked Nord and N-series prices by up to ₹4,000, pushing entry-level models past the critical ₹20K barrier. Driven by a global memory chip shortage, this trend signals a grim reality for budget shoppers. If you need a new device, hunt for pre-hike stock now before these elevated costs become the permanent market standard.
