As per the source, they have got few source codes revealing the next OnePlus device will be a budget phone.
Not just that, the source also got the processor powering the device. Yup, it’s none other than recently launched SD460 SoC. Previous leaks showed that OnePlus will launch a mid-range device with SD66X series chipset for offline markets but this leaks surprises all. So those who were waiting for budget smartphone from OnePlus we think the wait is almost over.
Now another tipster confirms that OnePlus will indeed launch mid-range phone under 20K in India.
