OnePlus One Amazon India Exclusive No More; Flagship Smartphone to Hit Flipkart e-Store SoonFlipkart via Twitter

Domestic popular e-commerce firm Flipkart may soon offer flagship OnePlus One in India.

OnePlus One made its debut in India in December 2014. Since then, it has been exclusively available on Amazon India; but now the device may soon hit Flipkart shelves, if the tweet from Bengaluru-based online shopping site is to be believed.

Flipkart's not-so cryptic tweet reads: "The #One Wish Flipkart hasn't fulfilled yet... is about to come true soon." It comes with a graphic poster, showing a smartphone outline (white) print on the black background, which looks strikingly identical to the OnePlus One.

In Flipkart's tweet, the company has specifically hashtagged 'One', hinting that the unnamed smartphone in the poster might indeed be OnePlus One.

We believe OnePlus is trying to expand channels to sell its devices in India as it tries to out-do its more popular Chinese rival Xiaomi, which is also fast tracking its device distribution.

Xiaomi has already sold its handsets on Flipkart, Snapdeal, Amazon India and a few days ago, it began retailing devices on its very own e-store Mi.com/in as well.

Recently, OnePlus and Xiaomi intensified their efforts to make formidable inroads in India's burgeoning smartphone market by reducing prices of their flagship handsets: One and Mi 4.

If OnePlus One does make its way to Flipkart, it is likely that the company will forge an alliance with a few more e-retailers and also possibly with physical brick-and-mortar retail chains.
