Should you buy the phones now?

This seems like a rhetorical question considering how high the prices are now compared to the launch ones, and the value proposition has taken a deep hit. However, for ColorOS fans, the K14x remains relevant who prioritise battery life, thanks to its 6,500mAh battery and dependable everyday performance. However, its HD+ LCD display, mono speaker and average camera performance become harder to overlook at Rs 17,999 and above.

The same applies to the A6 and A6 Pro. Their large 7,000mAh batteries remain useful, but the higher prices put them against phones offering sharper displays, faster processors or stronger camera hardware.

The 4GB + 64GB K14x at Rs 17,999 is particularly difficult to overlook as a pricing shift. The configuration would have been a budget option earlier, but now sits close to phones with more RAM and storage. Same is the case for the OPPO A6c, which is a 4G option at over Rs 15,000. Buyers should therefore compare alternatives before purchasing. For existing OPPO fans, the revised models can still make sense if battery life, brand preference and availability are priorities. For everyone else, defer any sort of purchases unless absolutely necessary and buy phones for longevity.
