Just read this today on some review sites. If 25k is considered a budget phone, we as humanity need some serious thinking to do. Even the coronavirus has failed to knock some sense into us.
That's a terrible point of argument and ironically justifies what OP said.its a steal for those that can afford.

They seem to have forgotten what made people love them in the first place. 1+1 anyone?
Also way too many shills in the tech community now.
That is one damn good phone. It also has 2-Band GPS .. very accurate in navigation.Yep, they have gone greedy. One can get flagship chipset at lesser price
Eg. I use k20pro bought for 24k with 855 chipset..
Oled - check
Full screen - check
Dev support - check (rocking pixel rom now with all featured)
Camera - OnePlus may have an edge
Storage - 6/128gb
I have stopped looking at OnePlus post One plue 2 .. they are giving 6/64 gb config for 25k .. lmao
No one said it was a bad phone. The original point of this discussion was the price. Is it a good phone? Yes. Is it worth the money? Probably not to many.?
is it not a good phone? seems ok to me on paper
I personally love clean stock Android which is why I've bought only Moto phones over the years viz E1, E2, G3, G5+. My dad got that entry level Redmi coz of the Android Go. I never like the UI of other Chinese brands. Xiaomi's MIUI, VIVO, Oppo etc etc. If they were more open to the idea of offering a clean phone I'll definitely consider them.Yep, they have gone greedy.

OnePlus and gimmicks are a match made in heaven. Well the 5G technically may not be a "gimmick" but as you said we don't need it here right now and we don't know when the govt will even introduce it in India. But OnePlus is marketing this as a "future proof" phone so I guess that kinda makes it a gimmick?They should've gone with a cheaper chipset and made it sub 20k, what's the point of having a 5G phone when there isn't a single tower in the country.
Oh it was more of a general expression than in a literal sense. I've also stopped watching them for sometime now. Speaking of reviews did you guys hear about "geekyranjit"? He indirectly alleged that he was blacklisted by OnePlus lol. Apparently they wouldn't send him a sample and when asked he said they gave him "lame replies" which I think meant templated replies for denying review sample.Now ? It's been like that for the last couple of years, they don't even hide it anymore.
doesn't new 1+ feels very similar to latest phone Reno from Oppo.

That's the beauty of dev support.. k20pro with pixel rom and everything works beautifully. I am currently on it and it is awesome, even recorder with translation features workOkay tell me a better phone that at least doesn't cost twice as much
K20Pro? Sure it's a good phone, has a better SoC (but i firmly believe 765G is more than sufficient for everyday tasks). Also K20Pro comes with miui which is bloated as hell.
I really wanna buy this but I'm gonno wait for pixel 4a, hopefully that comes under 35k
But isn't the Asus skin very minimal. I have been eyeing Asus 6z for some time now and it was available for 22.5k in January sales.I currently use an Asus 5z 8/256 which i bought in december for 17.5k after i dropped my redmi4 and broke the screen. It's what could be called a budget flagship. And probably the biggest issue i have with it is the lack of full blown dev support. there is some stuff happening but it's way below par.

Also this. Should it be obvious by now that the Nord is just a rebrand with minor tweaks?On a bit of a side note, but doesn't new 1+ feels very similar to latest phone Reno from Oppo. The similarity is there. Even heard Marques (MKBHD) stating the same in his review.
Is that still available? In the last two times I checked, the price rose by 2999rs (I think) because one version which was available for 23999 then thanks to the increased GST the cost went up to 27999 or so. Then the other time it was no longer available. Had I known that 22.5k would be the best price I might have bought it then. Waiting game wasn't a good idea. :/But isn't the Asus skin very minimal.
