One brand which, however, has managed to duck this trend is OnePlus. From super affordable to relatively affordable If that sounds difficult to believe, throw your mind back to the first OnePlus device, which was launched in India in late 2014 at a price of Rs 21,999 for the 64 GB model. At that point of time, it was staggering value for money, so much so that it totally overshadowed the Xiaomi Mi 4, the successor of the Mi 3, which can claim to have started the budget flagship trend in India....

I am talking about that phenomenon, the “gaming” phone. One which had been in a period of hibernation but has since burst back into the spotlight thanks to a device from Razer and a leak about a Xiaomi device. On the face of it, there seems nothing wrong with the concept – after all, there are gaming computers and notebooks, so why should there not be gaming phones? Gaming is a rage on mobile phones too – just look at the number of people playing games in the Metro or a bus or in a café, if you do not believe us....
