OnePlus 8 series to be launched in India in next few months

Chinese premium smartphone maker OnePlus on Tuesday unveiled its latest flagship OnePlus 8 series that will be launched in India in the next few months.

The global launch comes at a time when the Indian government has extended the nationwide lockdown to May 3 to contain the spread of COVID-19 infections.

Given that smartphones have not been classified under the essential items category (like grocery and medicines), they are not allowed to be sold online or in physical stores amid the lockdown.

While the company did not provide a specific launch date for India, it said “the OnePlus 8 flagship series and the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z will be available in India this summer”.
