If you are looking to get your hands on the new OnePlus 3 in the UK, the handset is now more expensive due to the effect on the pound after the Brexit vote.
OnePlus have now increased the price of the OnePlus 3 in the UK, the handset was previously available for £309 and now it will cost you £329.
Impact of Brexit on Technology Prices
The Brexit vote has had a significant impact on various sectors, including technology. The devaluation of the pound has led to increased costs for imported goods, and companies like OnePlus have had to adjust their pricing to maintain their profit margins. This is not an isolated incident; other tech companies have also been affected. For example, Apple increased the prices of its products in the UK following the Brexit vote. The economic uncertainty has made it challenging for companies to predict costs, leading to price adjustments.
OnePlus explained last week that the price of the handset would be going up due to the lower value of the pound against other currencies.
Given the effects of the unstable markets on our extremely thin margins, we’re reluctantly going to have make some small changes to our pricing structure for the device. In practical terms for our customers, this means that from July 11, 2016 (that’s next Monday), the OnePlus 3 will be £329 in the UK.
OnePlus 3: Features and Specifications
The OnePlus 3 is a flagship device that offers high-end features at a relatively affordable price. It comes with a 5.5-inch Optic AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. The device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, coupled with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. One of the standout features of the OnePlus 3 is its camera setup. It boasts a 16-megapixel rear camera with phase detection autofocus, OIS, and LED flash, and an 8-megapixel front camera for selfies.
The device also features a 3000mAh battery with Dash Charge technology, which allows for quick charging. The OnePlus 3 runs on OxygenOS, which is based on Android, offering a near-stock Android experience with additional customization options. Despite the price increase, the OnePlus 3 remains a competitive option in the market, especially when compared to other flagship devices that are significantly more expensive.
The price of the device has not increased in Europe since its launch and it still costs €400. This price stability in Europe can be attributed to the relatively stable value of the euro compared to the pound. The OnePlus 3 continues to be a popular choice among consumers in Europe due to its high performance and value for money.
