OnePlus 3 might get a price hike in UK

30 June, 2016
The Chinese company says this is due to "the worrying downward trend of the GBP," that followed the country's vote to leave the EU.

      AnonD-510098, 30 Jun 2016Shut up and add a bigger battery.If you want a bigger battery buy an Oukitel K10000, if not stop posting pointless comments. 3000mAh is the same as the S7 which scores a lot higher endurance so your complaint should be aimed at optimisation not size. *insert size joke here*
      As for the article, as a Brit who voted to stay and now laughs as everyone regrets voting 'leave', this was always going to happen. OnePlus are just the first to admit it and give warning to everyone. There'll be a lot more rises in prices coming and, really, this shouldn't be a headline piece of news. Even if this phone goes up to £400, it's still a lot cheaper than the main competitors like Samsung, LG and Sony and would sit it comfortably in the same market as Huawei and ZTE (if the Axon 7 and Nubias do indeed reach our shores as they've said they will).

          AnonD-248589, 30 Jun 2016It converts to $414, it is still more expensive than the US... moreIs not every product that comes to the UK is more expensive plus at one point this week the £ was the lowest it's been for 35 years they are a business not a charity and they couldn't have been making much on £309

            AnonD-248589, 30 Jun 2016It converts to $414, it is still more expensive than the US... moreThere are probably tax or import costs they have to take into consideration. Galaxy S7 retails for 749 euros and the edge variant for 849 euros in Finland. OP3 still sells for 399 euros tho which makes it a very competitive offering here.

                  i think this is the companies way of trying to get people in the uk to buy the phones. must not be meeting projections. because the eoru has also been on a downward trend to the dollar since the vote. but you don't here the company saying its going to be raising the euro prices.

                    And why don't they lower the € price. It's not like the $ costs as much as the €.

                          Even if they add 6000 it will be the same for you

                            Everything in UK now overpriced. Rip gadgets.
