OnePlus 8, 8 Pro launch gets delayed in India

The much-awaited OnePlus 8 series phones, which were slated to go on sale in India this May-end has been postponed indefinitely.

“Although we were looking to have 29th May as our open sales date for the OnePlus 8 Series 5G, due to unforeseen circumstances, our production was temporarily halted last week and has altered our sales plan. Because of this, we had to reschedule our date for open sales in India,” the company said on the official blog.

It can be noted that OnePlus’ sister brand Oppo has an industrial plant in Greater Noida and the latter also assembles the OnePlus phones. But, last week, 11 employees of the company’s factory were tested COVID-19 positive and the production was suspended until further notice.
