OnePlus One to Launch In India in December

Chinese handset maker OnePlus is set to officially enter India this December through an e-commerce partner, a route that has been successfully employed by mobile phone manufacturers such as Motorola and Xiaomi to sell their devices in the country.

"India is a super hot market with rapid data growth and this is the right time to enter the market. We are talking to all three leading e-commerce players in India to start our operations," Carl Pei, director of OnePlus Global told ET over a Skype call. "We hope to finalise our partner this week."

Pei said that the company will introduce the 64 GB variant of the OnePlus One smartphone in India, followed by a 16 GB variant. He added that the devices will be priced at about Rs 20,000 although the actual price is yet to be fixed.
