Want to buy a OnePlus One? Well, your best option is next Monday, October 27th. reserve the OnePlus One without invitation, but you'll only have one hour to do it, from 16:00 p.m. to 17:00 p.m. hours, according to Spanish time. Of course, You can now prepare the reservation.
Get the OnePlus One It hasn't been easy at all. It was presented as a smartphone that would be able to beat all the flagships on the market with a quality / price ratio which was even better than the Nexus ones. Not the Nexus 6, obviously, which was much more expensive. However, only a few users have managed to get the invitation to buy it. Others requested it and received it, but since it took a while to arrive, they bought another smartphone first, and that invitation was lost. And there was also the option of participating in the company's contests to see if we would end up getting the invitation, but the truth is that not many of us got it. We also knew that soon it was going to be possible to buy without having to have an invitation But it seems that, at least for now, that will come down to being able to book it in a single day, and at a specific time.
On October 27, 16: 00 17.00 hours to according to Spanish time, you may reserve the OnePlus One on their website. You can go to the page right now to prepare your reservation, and you can buy up to two phones, although you'll have to come back in a week, at the time we've already mentioned, to confirm the purchase. We assume that what the company wants to achieve is to be able to say later that they have achieved a certain number of sales of their OnePlus One in just one hour, something similar to what Xiaomi achieves by selling its smartphones in small quantities, generating a high demand in a very short time, and making smartphones sell out in seconds.
