Oppo, OnePlus and Vivo Raise China Phone Prices by 300–500 Yuan

Brands cite a sharp run-up in memory and chip costs driven by AI‑server demand with constrained supply.

Overview

  • Select Oppo and OnePlus models in China saw list prices increase this week by roughly 300–500 yuan.
  • Vivo says price adjustments for unspecified models in China take effect March 18, with iQOO on the same timeline.
  • The OnePlus 15 base model now costs 4,499 yuan after a 500‑yuan hike, with the Turbo and Ace 6 lines also adjusted.
  • Manufacturers attribute the moves to soaring memory and semiconductor prices linked to AI data‑center demand and tight capacity.
