Now, the company seems to have employed a similar strategy to tackle its competitor Xiaomi Mi 4 64 GB's new cut down price. The new price of the OnePlus One 64 GB at which the smartphone will be sold on Amazon India on June 18 is Rs 19,998 which is Rs 2,001 less than the actual price.

The uniqueness about this price slash down is that it is Re 1 less than the Xiaomi Mi 4 64 GB. While Xiaomi has slashed the price of its Mi 4 64 GB premanently, the OnePlus One's price cut seems not to be a permanent move.

However, it is worth noting that the OnePlus One flagship maker has recently announced a permanent $50 price cut in the international market, especially in UK and EU.

To recap, the OnePlus One flaunts a 5.5-inch full HD display, and is powered by a 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor paired with Adreno 330 GPU and 3 GB of RAM. It offers 16 GB and 64 GB internal storage, but no microSD card to expand it.

The flagship also features 13 MP rear camera, 5 MP front-facing camera, 3,100 mAh battery, and connectivity options like LTE support, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. On the software front, it runs on Cyanogen OS 12 or Oxygen OS.

However, we do not know whether which company among OnePlus and Xiaomi is benefiting the most with these price cuts, but, we are pretty sure that the customers are the ones who are actually taking advantage of these moves.

It’s the first time Google will be allowing developers to price an application for free for a limited time. Till date, once an application is made for free, developers cannot make it a paid app again. They are only allowed to do it if they remove the listing and republished it again.

Currently the media is calling the Free Application Of The Week as a part of Google Play Content Promotion. It is typically meant for the third party publishers along with entailing the use of promotional codes. Though the code and its input mechanism is invisible in the case of ‘Daniel Tiger Grr-ific Feelings’. The services have the condition that such promotional codes cannot be transferred to other users. It cannot be exchanged for cash and neither has any cash value.

For now, Google has not given out any details about about this update. It hasn’t revealed if the “Free App of the Week” will be a part of Google Play’s section.

Though in the meanwhile, Google has already started posting the user feedback surveys in the Google Play application. This was reported by a Reddit user.
