Entry premium flagships: the new key to success?

OnePlus has always marketed their smartphones as an entry-premium flagship offering the best in industry specs at a lesser price compared to other flagships. OnePlus overtook both Apple and Samsung in the first six months of 2017-18.

The company sells its smartphones online exclusively via Amazon and OnePlus site. OnePlus smartphones are now available offline via Croma and Reliance Digital stores as well.

With over a 40 percent market share in the first quarter of the current financial year, OnePlus currently is the largest premium smartphone brand in country.

Redmi Note 7 specs confirmed, imminent launch expected

After Xiaomi spinned off Redmi to re-launch it as a sub-brand, it is been boosting up to launch a streak of smartphones. After Redmi 2 Pro and Redmi 7, the new Redmi Note 7 has been spotted on Geekbench hinting at an imminent launch.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 is found with the old Snapdragon 660 chipset on the certification site, the same Xiaomi uses for its second generation Android One smartphone, Mi A2.

Looking at the graph how Xiaomi is working on its phones, we don’t expect to see much of anything on the upcoming Redmi Note 7. Redmi Note 6 Pro is already struggling against Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 and Realme 2 Pro.

The company still sells Redmi Note 5 Pro, and is banking on its past phones to stay in the competition. Redmi Note 7 is expected to borrow the cameras from the Redmi Note 6 Pro or Mi A2, or may come as a re-toned version of Mi A2. The previous leak also hinted at a glossy rear panel, similar to Honor and Realme smartphones.― Trak
