OnePlus Beats iPhone In India

All right, we're here with Saf, also known as SuperSaf on YouTube

Videos are made on YouTube by you. That's right, man. It's a good time, isn't it

It is. It's the first time here in Toronto. We got to talk about the hot smartphone topics

This is OnePlus going at Apple. The big dogs. With this tweet right here in which they say

I dare you, small lowercase i, The caption within the image there

Hey Siri, which is India's number one premium smartphone? It happens to be OnePlus

Should we try? Give it a shot. I have an iPhone that I prepared at you. Let's see if they're telling the truth or lying

Hey Siri, which is the number one premium smartphone in India? Here's what I found on the web for which is the number one premium smartphone in India

It is, of course, the OnePlus. Oh, it is. Okay, cool. Like, what is a premium smartphone

This states that OnePlus occupies 33% of the premium market in India

Samsung 34 and Apple 23. I'm assuming that premium in India is somewhere around $500 and up

Somewhere in that territory. iPhones are even more expensive than here though. Like from what I heard from the Indian followers I sure you have as well is that they have to pay like almost double what we have to pay The funny thing is if you shift the marketplace and you talk about North America

then you don't talk about OnePlus as a premium. Yeah, it's kind of like mid-range

We refer to it as mid-range. Something like this. Oh, yeah, the same in the UK, right

A lot of people that don't live in India don't realize how successful OnePlus has been in India

It's massive. Like whenever I put a OnePlus video up, and I'm sure you've had the same

the response especially from the indian audience is massive like so here you can buy two oneplus

potentially two oneplus 60s for the same price as an iphone over there i'm assuming you could

probably buy like three right outfit the whole family exactly there's a reason that oneplus has

had so much success in in india and elsewhere the idea of premium for less as opposed to it's a

budget alternative. Like, you would only want a OnePlus device if you can't afford one of the others

I think even if you compare the OnePlus to something which is stock Android, the Pixels

for example, this still feels faster and smoother. I still prefer the speed and just the overall performance of OnePlus devices

It's crazy what this brand has achieved, to be honest. To be on the spectrum of brands like Samsung and Apple who had such a head start in the Oh yeah Showcases how quickly things can change in the smartphone game and are changing Yeah To now at least having the conversation

about what is the value for money. Like this is better for everyone

because what does it end up doing? If they can bring that price point down, all of a sudden you have Samsung

talking about the M stuff in India. They're going to have that other budget brand

Apple's talking about being overpriced. Tim Cook said it recently. It's all good for the consumer competition

is key, man. I've said this many times on my channel that when it comes to bang for buck

OnePlus is the brand to go for. They come in straight away with a competitive price

and you know what you're getting. And you can go in there, you can buy a phone and you will

generally be pleased. It ticks most of the boxes for most people. OnePlus has been clever. Let's

not discount the old model. Let's just crank out another one. You forget about a phone that was out

in Feb when it's December, right? It's old news. Whereas if you have another version of it

It gets people talking again. You want the fresh one. You want the fresh one. You want the new one

And that's what everybody's talking about. They get the press coverage. They get us guys talking about it

What OnePlus is doing is very smart. If Apple was interviewed, if they asked him

he'd be like, what's OnePlus? I mean, just the fact that if you remember

the OnePlus 6T event in Brooklyn, New York, Apple went in and had the iPad event an hour before It was kind of like all right we just going to crush you Like flicking a fly Yeah flicking fly or stepping on a net Yeah Now one thing to remember here is that a lot of people you know

put value on brand affinity. Like, how does a brand make you feel

How long have they been around? How trusted are they? We're sitting here talking about how amazing it is

what OnePlus has accomplished in such a short period of time. It's important to note that they're not Samsung

They're not Apple. They may never be. I think with OnePlus, if you ask somebody, oh, OnePlus

somebody of my friends will be like, what? When you post a video, like the views that you get on a OnePlus video

are not commensurate with the public perception of the brand. It gets similar views to a Samsung video

But where are those views coming from? Well, they might be more globally distributed

That's what I think it is because when I post something Samsung or Apple, like US and UK, right there

But then OnePlus, it's a little bit varied. Like it's more international. So I think there are certain areas where OnePlus is a familiar brand

If you have an iPhone, you're going to buy an iPhone. That's what I mean. We're so many generations deep into it

Just getting out that ecosystem is too difficult for you. Whereas if you're somebody new and you're kind of looking around

you're like, okay, maybe OnePlus is going to be an option for you in those markets
