The ongoing RAM crisis has been brutal for the smartphone industry and we're seeing price hikes almost every other week at this point. OnePlus is no exception to this case and it has hiked several of its smartphones, not once, but in many cases twice. Now the latest victims are the OnePlus 15 and Nord CE 6 Lite, which have again received a price hike in India, making them more expensive than ever.
