Regardless what you think of OnePlus‘ marketing antics, one of the things you can’t argue about is their offering of impressive mobile hardware at very affordable prices. With this in mind, OnePlus has decided to reduce their lineup in the US and Europe by removing the availability of the OnePlus 2 16GB variant, a strange move considering there are only two variants. While we don’t completely disagree with the decision – after all, 16GB with no microSD expansion is basically nothing these days – the OnePlus 2 lineup looks much less attractive after removing the $329 USD 16GB variant, leaving the $389 64GB variant all alone.
Note that the 16GB variant is still available outside of the US and Europe, which makes it even more unusual for OnePlus 2 to stop selling it. A OnePlus spokesperson was quoted as saying “According to feedback we have seen much greater interest in the 64GB version of the OnePlus 2 in North America and Europe, so we have removed the 16GB version from those store pages as of this week.” Only time will tell whether OnePlus has lost any business due to removing this variant.
