The results from last week\u2019s poll<\/a> are in \u2013 the OnePlus 16<\/a> might have been a global hit, had the company pulled out of most markets. The brand is still strong and even the value proposition is strong, despite the higher than usual price for the 16 (and for every other new phone on the market, to be fair).<\/p>\n

OnePlus 16<\/p>\n

The OnePlus 16 is so good, in fact, that a surprising number of voters are thinking of importing one. Folks in India \u2013 which is the only other country besides China that will get an official release \u2013 are also quite interested.<\/p>\n

And the largest group of voters (nearly a third) is people who are interested but don\u2019t want to go through the hassle of importing a unit from overseas. Even the launch of the Oppo Find X10 series<\/a> didn\u2019t deter people \u2013 the OnePlus 16 is a great phone.<\/p>\n

The price is quite high \u2013 we still don\u2019t know how much it will cost in India, but we do know that even the base 12GB\/256GB model costs more (CNY 6,000) than the maxed-out 16GB\/1TB OnePlus 15 cost last year (CNY 5,400). And only around 12% of people said that the price is crazy. That\u2019s about as many people as those looking at other flagships.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s probably too late to change course and bring OnePlus back to the global stage. This leaves Oppo, which was always the more premium, more expensive brand, and Realme, which didn\u2019t even launch a GT-series flagship this year, to pick up the slack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The results from last week\u2019s poll are in \u2013 the OnePlus 16 might have been a global hit,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":813900,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[2306,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-813899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-mobile","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=813899"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813899\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/813900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=813899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=813899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=813899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
