Oppo and Xiaomi Raise Phone Prices in India: What to Know

Oppo and Xiaomi have raised prices of selected phones and tablets in India. The increase reaches Rs 5,000 on some models. A tipster first shared the new figures. Independent checks then found the same rates on the companies’ India websites. Rising memory-chip costs sit behind this round of revisions. Neither brand had issued a formal public note at the time of writing.

The Oppo Find X9s takes the largest jump on this list. Both listed versions cost Rs 5,000 more than before. The 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage model now stands at Rs 84,999. It earlier listed at Rs 79,999. Meanwhile, the 12 GB and 512 GB model moves from Rs 89,999 to Rs 94,999.

Xiaomi has also marked up the Pad 8. The 12 GB and 256 GB version now lists at Rs 46,999. That is Rs 3,000 above the previous Rs 43,999 tag. In addition, the Nano Texture edition rises from Rs 45,999 to Rs 48,999.

The Redmi Pad 2 sees smaller, across-the-board changes. Most variants cost Rs 1,000 more. The 4 GB and 128 GB Wi-Fi model goes from Rs 18,999 to Rs 19,999. Next, the 4 GB and 128 GB cellular model moves from Rs 19,999 to Rs 20,999. The 6 GB and 128 GB cellular version now costs Rs 23,999, up from Rs 22,999. After that, the 8 GB and 256 GB cellular model rises from Rs 24,999 to Rs 25,999.

The Redmi 15A is the budget phone in this set. All configurations named by the tipster carry a higher tag. The 4 GB and 64 GB model increases from Rs 15,999 to Rs 16,499. The 4 GB and 128 GB model increases from Rs 17,499 to Rs 18,499. Meanwhile, the 6 GB and 128 GB model now lists at Rs 20,499, up from Rs 19,499.

These products span flagship, mid-range, and entry segments. Therefore, the hike is not limited to one price band. Memory components have become more expensive worldwide. Phone and tablet makers often pass that cost to list prices when storage and RAM variants sit at the centre of the bill of materials. Shoppers should check the live listing before they buy. Promotions can still change the amount paid at checkout. Official comment from Oppo and Xiaomi was still pending when these prices appeared on their sites.
