Apple iPhone 6 32GB for Rs 28,999: Looks like OnePlus 3T has a new competitor?

Technology

The OnePlus 3T has been available in the market for quite some time now. For the most part, the phone has been without competition. But with Apple slashing the pricing of the 32GB iPhone 6 to just Rs 28,999, the OnePlus 3T certainly has some competition now.

What do OnePlus, Oppo, and Vivo have in common? Yes, they are all Chinese brands known for their rather interesting smartphones – though if you don't frequent tech websites, chances that you have heard of them are slim. But since you are here at PhoneArena, we can safely assume you're among those in the know. Now, to answer the question – all three brands are subsidiaries of one Chinese mega company. Meet BBK Electronics, a decades-old-and-still-counting player in the consumer electronics game which began with making clones of the Nintendo Entertainment System, among other things. While Vivo and Oppo are wholly owned by BBK, OnePlus is technically a subsidiary of Oppo, but since BBK owns the parent company as well, we take it the folks at OnePlus are well familiar with the mother comp...
