OnePlus One 16GB coming to India, will give Xiaomi Mi4 some competition

OnePlus One 16GB will be available only on Amazon.in

The budget smartphone space in India is really hotting up and that too to the benefit of the customers. OnePlus, which launched its flagship OnePlus One in India a couple of months back, is all set to up the ante by launching the 16GB Silk White version of the phone next week.

This 4G phone will stand apart for its design top-end processor and price. In fact, the price will be cheaper than the Xiaomi Mi4 which is selling now at Rs 19,999. Most of the other features of the phone are similar to that of the OnePlus One 64GB with a 13MP primary camera with dual LED flash, 4K resolution video with stereo recording and 5MP front facing camera and 5.5-inch Full HD LTPS IPS panel with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The phone will also have a 3100mAH lithium-polymer battery. Interestingly, the back cover is made out of powdered cashew if OnePlus is to be believed.

Unlike the 64GB version, this phone will run the Android v4.4 KitKat operating system in India as Cyanogen has an exclusive partnership with Micromax Yu in India.
