OnePlus has consistently pushed the boundaries of premium and mid-range smartphones, but the brand is now ready to aggressively target the budget segment. In an exclusive scoop, we have learned that OnePlus is gearing up to introduce an entirely new lineup of smartphones aimed at budget-conscious consumers, promising to deliver the brand’s signature fast and smooth experience to a much wider audience.

The ‘OnePlus N’ Series

According to trusted industry insider Yogesh Brar, OnePlus is actively developing a brand-new smartphone lineup expected to be officially named the OnePlus N series. Rather than a single device release, Brar confirms that this will be a comprehensive family featuring multiple smartphones tailored for different tiers.

This move signals a strategic shift. While the existing Nord lineup has served the mid-range market well, the new ‘N’ series looks to cast an even wider net, capturing users who want the clean OxygenOS interface without breaking the bank.

Pricing and Market Strategy

The most exciting takeaway from Brar’s leak is the brand’s aggressive pricing strategy. Some of the smartphones in the upcoming OnePlus N series will be priced under Rs 20,000.

Launch Details

If you are currently holding out for a new budget smartphone, you won’t have to wait very long. The official India launch for the OnePlus N series is slated for July.
