The ongoing coronavirus outbreak has put brakes on an otherwise booming smartphone industry. A slight ray of hope was given when government hinted at relaxing the norms for e-commerce from April 20, only to clarify later that delivery of non-essential items won’t be allowed. This leaves both the customers and sellers in an tricky situation. Several launches have been postponed for now while others that happened, cannot be ordered, as of now.
However, once the lockdown ends, the suppressed demand might take off once again. Here, we list down a few smartphones that you need to look out for once after the COVID-19 lockdown ends –
OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro: OnePlus launched its flagship-level smartphone series last week during an online-only event. The smartphones have been priced aggressively in India when compared to other markets. The OnePlus 8 price in India starts at Rs 41,999 for the base variant with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage variant. The OnePlus 8 Pro price starts at Rs 54,999.
Apple iPhone SE: An Apple iPhone with the power of iPhone 11 Pro Max and half the price is what most smartphone lovers have been asking for.
