It still remains to be seen what Sachin Bansal would say since he hasn't responded to Pei's tweet yet.

For those who are not aware, OnePlus 3 is priced at Rs. 27,999 and is exclusively available on Amazon India. However, as seen on Flipkart's home page, the e-tailer is planning to sell it under Rs. 20,000.

We are not sure if the home-grown e-commerce giant is planning to offer cahsbacks or if it's shipping the handsets directly from China. It's also likely that it may sell refurbished handsets at such huge discounts.

All said and done, these are merely speculations and we don't exactly know how Flipkart is planning to sell the OnePlus 3 at such low price. We will keep you posted as soon as something surfaces online.
