Oppo A15, A53s and Other Budget Phones Get Price Hike: Here’s How Much They Cost Now
News 18Oppo India has seemingly issued a new pricing guidance to distributors and retailers, issuing a new price list for some of its budget and mid-range smartphones in India. The four phones are pricier by either Rs 500 or Rs 1,000, depending on which you go for, and while Oppo hasn’t issued a statement or an explanation behind its price hike, it likely represents the higher manufacturing costs that many OEMs are expected to incur as a result of ongoing market crises for chipsets. According to the new pricing, shared on Twitter by user Abhishek Yadav, the new, hiked price list for the four above mentioned Oppo phones are as follows: Oppo A11K : Old price: Rs 8,490, New price: Rs 8,990, Hike: Rs 500 : Old price: Rs 8,490, New price: Rs 8,990, Hike: Rs 500 Oppo A15 : Old price: Rs 8,490, New price: Rs 9,490, Hike: Rs 1,000 : Old price: Rs 8,490, New price: Rs 9,490, Hike: Rs 1,000 Oppo A15 : Old price: Rs 9,990, New price: Rs 10,490, Hike: Rs 500 : Old price: Rs 9,990, New price: Rs 10,490, Hike: Rs 500 Oppo A15s : Old price: 11,490, New price: Rs 12,490, Hike: Rs 1,000 : Old price: 11,490, New price: Rs 12,490, Hike: Rs 1,000 Oppo A53s 5G : Old price: Rs 16,990, New price: Rs 17,990, Hike: Rs 1,000 At the moment, Oppo has not specified price revisions for the 128GB variant of the A15s, or the 6GB RAM variant of the A53s 5G.
