Oppo started the price hikes for some Oppo and OnePlus smartphones in China. For now, the increases haven\u2019t spread across the global markets, so customers in Europe and the US aren\u2019t affected.In China, the price hikes vary<\/a>\u00a0(source in Chinese) between 200 and 500 yuan, which is between $29 and $73 when directly converted. In the case of the OnePlus 15<\/a>, the 500 yuan price hike makes the phone about 12% pricier, or 4,499 yuan (about $653 when directly converted). The OnePlus Ace 6 got an even more alarming increase of 19%, putting its price from 2,599 yuan to 3,099 yuan (from $378 to $449 when directly converted).The new OnePlus Turbo series devices and the Ace 6T also saw price increases. Among the Oppo models that are now more expensive are several phones from the K13 series and at least one K12 device. None of Oppo\u2019s flagship phones is affected.

All the current increases are limited only to China, and neither of the companies has announced price adjustments for global markets. While current models may stick to their prices, it\u2019s very likely that future releases will come with higher price tags than their predecessors.Don\u2019t wait for an upgrade
It\u2019s almost always best to buy a new phone whenever you need one, but now that appears to be an even better idea. The memory shortage is likely to continue for quite a while, which is certainly going to make phones more expensive. That\u2019s why it\u2019s probably the best moment to buy a new phone, unless you\u2019re okay with paying a little extra.<\/p>\n![\"$5\/mo](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/5mo-off-for-5-years-on-Visible-premium-plans.webp.webp\")
