    It couldn't, because it wasn't in stock.

    We have always payed more even when sterling was stronger these fluctuations aren't exactly that big.

    I don't accept it considering you never changed your prices when sterling was stronger. That makes you guys look your just taking advantage the dollar has dropped all markets have, don't see you increase prices there?

    Expected better from one plus

    Please refer to my previous image. The drop is very significant and the trend over the last two years (our company hasn't been selling for much longer than that) has been generally downwards.

    Decent size drop between Euro x US$ too ...

    as a business what you do regarding prices is your business .... as a customer what i choose to do is my business ... my decision is made :)

    Don't increase the cost. It's currently at the right balance. The economy will recover.

    a company can also hedge their exchange rates for 12 months to minimise risk of having to increase prices etc.

    I've been browsing this forum for the last three days, waiting for this thread to appear. Actually mulled over starting one to ask the question. Couldn't imagine the pound losing that much, without affecting the UK price of the phone.

    Another thing is those fluctuations are so small their practicaly insignificant. Until the pound is worth less than a dollar I can't see how you can justify a price hike but of course it's a free market you can do as you please your in this to make money.

    I get these are uncertain times hope it gose well for all of us.

    You have to calculate long-term or adjust price on a daily basis. OnePlus istn't a stock market so adjusting prices for long-term stability is the way to go. And OP isn't the only company doing this.

    Appreciate the honesty, although surely this won't affect us for another 2 years after the Article 50 has been activated?

    I don't think the OP comment was directed at the UK's single market / political status, purely an exchange rate move that is going against them: the fact that their costs are in US Dollars (or Yuan - closely linked to the USD), while we're spending in Pounds.

    Price observations:
    UK Price: £309
    US Price: $399
    US Price converted to Pounds, at the the current (historic low) exchange rate: £295, so they still have another 5% cushion before they get to charging people in the UK the same price as the US consumers - if they put the price up, you should still be find a way to get them from the US* for even less than the current UK OP store.

    Although it is disappointing when companies use a strong Dollar / weak Pound as a reason to bump up prices, but fail to give that back to customers when the reverse happens, bear in mind that the closest competitors to the OP3 (£309) are probably the other Snapdragon820 units (Galaxy S7 / LG G5) and they're all £400+ - with less onboard storage, but SD card slots to bump that back up (at additional cost).

    * Bear in mind you may have EU import duties to pay, but "Hey ho", maybe a reduced customs and excise duties for American and Chinese imports will mean that the price comes down 2 years after Article 50 gets invoked, just in time for the next (OP5?) upgrade :)

    well it remains to be seen but until its signed, sealed, delivered, the UK is not out of EU just yet. shame markets reacting though in fear without knowing all the details, like a domino affect.

    The UK price is inclusive of all taxes. You pay £309 plus shipping costs (only priority shipping as standard shipping is free)
    The US price is not. Taxes are added at checkout so $399 is the price of the phone before tax in the US
