Flipkart has announced its next sale “Big Shopping Days” that is scheduled for 18th to 21st December. For making this sale attractive, Flipkart has also started teasing the OnePlus 3 for less than Rs. 20000. While it has not completely revealed the price, we can easily guess that the price will be Rs. 19999.

People who were thinking to buy OnePlus 3T or OnePlus 3, they will see it as a great opportunity save cash. But, there is a big issue in this. OnePlus has the partnership with Amazon to sell its smartphones in India. How can Flipkart sell this phone?
This is the same question Carl Pei, co-founder OnePlus asked. He tweeted to Sachin Bansal asking “What is this?”
See the exact tweet below.

Flipkart cannot sell this phone until OnePlus has the exclusive partnership with Amazon India. Flipkart has already listed the phone with “out of stock” tag.
Many people who bough OnePlus 3 few days back were disappointed with this sale price of OnePlus 3. but, Carl Pei also refused any kind of price drop for OnePlus 3 and asked Flipkart to confirm how they are selling the phone.
Sachin Bansal has not yet responded to the tweet.
Amazon India itself sells refurbished OnePlus 3 for around Rs. 24,500. Flipkart is selling the phones on loss to create hype and I am sure it will not make enough units available. a very small stock will make available just to grab attention.
We have also asked Flipkart to comment on this. We will update this post once we have anything worth to note on this matter.
