OnePlus 16 India Launch Depends on Find X10 Sales
In the latest X post, the tipster clarified that while the OnePlus 16 is being worked on for India but its market launch is not confirmed yet. The company reportedly plans to first evaluate the sales performance of the Find X10 before deciding whether to introduce the OnePlus 16 in the country.
