iHub Pvt. Ltd., the authorized distributor of OnePlus products in Nepal has dropped the price of OnePlus 3 recently. It is the same phone that was out of stock in Nepal a few months ago. And, OnePlus has stopped its manufacturing as well. The new price of OnePlus 3 in Nepal is Rs. 45,900. The price drop is of flat NRs. 4,000 from the initial launching price. Well, this price drops raises few questions?? Why the price-drop? Has the distributor already generated more revenue than expected? Or, is the phone sales going not good at all? Or, is it the stock clearance before the upgraded OnePlus 3T gets revealed?
Verdict
Well, we didn’t bother asking the iHub for the reason behind the price drop. After all, the price drop is always a good thing from the customer’s point of view. However, this price drop gives us some hints on the date of OnePlus 3T launching in Nepal getting closer. This price drop might be something unplanned but obvious. The main reason might be, the possible customers keeping themselves on hold from buying OnePlus 3 since it’s upgraded version is certain to be launched in Nepal at an obviously higher price and comes with appreciable upgrades. “If you can buy the OnePlus 3T shortly, why to buy the One plus 3 now?” said a friend of mine. He was almost buying the OP 3 but it was out of stock at the moment. Now, He’s like if I’ve waited this long, OnePlus 3T is still worth another month of wait. That said, OnePlus 3 is still a good buy for those who are into an affordable specs-heavy phone. Considering this price drop, if you were planning to buy OnePlus 3, it is the right time to get one.
