OnePlus 11R Release: A Dark Horse, for Sure!

The Shenzhen, Guangdong-based OnePlus has run riot through the global smartphone market, of late, courtesy of the OnePlus Nord Watch and this time, the OnePlus 11R launch could catapult another stellar run. 

First things first – come February 7, in a gala ceremony at the prestigious Cloud 11 event, the OnePlus 11R release will become a reality. It has been reported that this event will take place in New Delhi, India, as the much-sought-after product is going to hit the stores in the Indian subcontinent first, followed by the US and the global markets. 

Though we are yet to have the actual figures regarding the OnePlus 11R price, in all likelihood, the new mid-range Android from OnePlus could be priced at somewhere between INR 35K to INR 45K in India. However, it’s too early to guess its price for the global markets. We can expect the OnePlus 11R release for the US and the global markets to fall into place quite soon, within a couple of months.
