Flipkart’s current relationship status with OnePlus – It’s Complicated. The Indian online retailer today announced it would sell the OnePlus 3 for less than Rs 20,000 during its Big Shopping Days that starts from December 18. This comes as a big surprise, considering the Chinese brand exclusively sells its smartphones via Amazon India in the country. OnePlus Co-Founder Carl Pei expressed his surprise as well, in a tweet questioning how Flipkart is planning on selling the smartphone.

This is the problem. For premium brands, trust is everything. We would never betray trust by dropping prices like this. https://t.co/NvhIgUa1Op
