OPPO and OnePlus announced a price increase for various existing smartphone models effective March 16, 2026. This decision is due to rising costs of key components, particularly RAM and internal memory, exacerbated by demand from data centers and AI.

The price adjustments will affect budget models from OPPO's A and K series and certain OnePlus devices, while higher-end models remain unaffected. The scope of the price increase beyond China is still uncertain, amid predictions of a 13% contraction in the smartphone sector this year.
