OnePlus to do away with invite system this October

OnePlus One-11

The OnePlus One is perhaps one among the most wanted devices at the moment, at least among those who know about the phone. However, a major hindrance for those looking to purchase the device is the invite system.

It requires a to-be buyer to get hold of an ‘invite’ (basically a unique code) that can be obtained (i) either from others who have purchased the OnePlus One or (ii) from OnePlus itself, via the numerous contests it holds. Although OnePlus has ramped up its production capacity in the recent months, the demand for the OnePlus One still outweighs supply.

OnePlus One Giveaway

OnePlus One-3

 

Update: Winner of the OnePlus One giveaway has been announced. Check out if you got lucky.

The OnePlus One is a great flagship device that comes at an affordable price, but it has made a name for itself in the industry for being almost impossible to attain. The folks at OnePlus decided to go through with an invite system that ensured limited availability since launch and the fact that it ships to only a few countries doesn’t really help. We, after a long struggle, had got hold of, not one, but two OnePlus One devices. You might have seen us unbox one and show off another unopened box at the end of this unboxing video – Continue reading “OnePlus One Giveaway”

OnePlus sprung out of nowhere in the latter half of 2013, a time when a company called OPPO was at the prime of its popularity. Why are we talking about OPPO in a OnePlus One review? There are two bits to the answer: (i) most of the staff, including the company supremo Pete Lau came from the OPPO camp, and (ii) OPPO is believed to be OnePlus’ parent company, even though neither like to admit it.
