    I don't think Chinese phone runs One UI...

    And yeah only miniscule amount of people here buy Samsung at that pricing, especially the A55 and S23 FE. At that pricing, most of people here buy Oppo Reno, Xiaomi 13T, Vivo V30, etc. But hey, I've expected your denial answer, "Samsung is the most selling Android phone hurr durr". You can't just accept the reality lol.

        Narendra Modi is bar stirred. OnePlus are doing India a favour by selling their excellent phones in India.

        Message to OnePlus: F Modi's India. You don't need them.

                  I bought OnePlus 12 through their online stores, fantastic delivery experience; earlier I bought two OnePlus 8 Pro, one after heavily used by my dad developed screen issues after 3 years and got it replaced for free. Immediately within 6 after replacing screen, again lines started appearing. Went to the nearest OnePlus Store and got coupon worth $400 and used it for buying OnePlus 12 which even better. These bricks and motor shop owners sell OnePlus at premium by adding margins and create artificial demand. Only issue with OnePlus with its overwhelmcing success in India, is their Service Stations and addressing issues immediately. By the way, OnePlus mobiles demand very high resale value than Samsung.

                      I agree with you. That would explain why nobody spend above $500 buying chinese phone with 4 years software support (also bonus laggy software + overheating battery+ ugly UI)

                      Good news is, majority of people spend above $500 buying Samsung or Apple.

                      What a relief..
