OnePlus kicks off its Summer Sale in India on May 8, starting at midnight. Expect to see discounts, exchange bonuses, bank deals, and no-cost EMI plans across phones, tablets, and earbuds—offers apply at oneplus.in, OnePlus Experience Stores, Amazon, Flipkart, and more.
Timing is key here. In the first quarter, India’s smartphone shipments slid 3% from a year ago—marking the worst quarterly performance in six years. Higher prices, mounting costs, and slackening demand all weighed on sales. Counterpoint’s Prachir Singh called it a “clear affordability squeeze.” Tarun Pathak, the firm’s research director, sees a “double-digit decline” coming in Q2. Reuters
What buyers actually pay at checkout matters more than the listed sticker price. The “net effective price” factors in price cuts plus any bank or EMI discounts that apply. With no-cost EMI, customers split payments into instalments but aren’t charged visible interest; OnePlus details multiple offers linked to specific credit-card EMIs or one-time card payments in its own terms.

The standout drop hits the OnePlus 13, now showing a sticker price of Rs 69,999 but available for an effective Rs 57,999 once you stack a Rs 7,000 price cut and a Rs 5,000 bank deal. OnePlus 13R slips to Rs 37,999, and after all discounts, OnePlus 13s lands at Rs 46,999.
Not much wiggle room on the latest models. OnePlus 15’s effective price lands at Rs 73,999, factoring in a Rs 4,000 bank offer. For the OnePlus 15R, it’s Rs 50,999 after subtracting Rs 2,000 from the sticker and another Rs 2,000 via bank discount. Nord 6 comes in at Rs 36,999, also with a Rs 2,000 bank deal baked in.
OnePlus is pushing tablets with discounts during the sale. The Pad 4 sits at Rs 54,999 and comes bundled with a free Stylo Pro. Sale pricing puts the Pad Lite at Rs 14,999, Pad Go 2 at Rs 24,999, and Pad 3 at Rs 48,999.
Audio products land at lower price points. Listed on the sale table: OnePlus Buds Pro 3 at Rs 9,999, Buds 4 at Rs 5,599, Nord Buds 4 Pro for Rs 3,799, and Bullets Wireless Z3 sitting at Rs 1,499.
This promotion drops right into a packed discount season. Amazon kicks off its summer sale on May 8, while Flipkart follows a day later—though early access starts May 8 for both. Among the rival deals: Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra, Apple’s iPhone 17, Google’s Pixel 10. That puts OnePlus squarely up against the heavyweight brands in a single week of premium phone skirmishes.
Still, not everyone gets those sticker prices. OnePlus spells out that certain discounts hinge on which card you use, what channel you buy through, and how long your EMI runs. Some payment methods are left out, and if you cancel or return the order, the offer doesn’t count. So your actual savings depend on your bank card, payment choice, and whether there’s stock left when you try to check out.
