OnePlus has now switched to open sales for the OnePlus One globally including India. You will now be able to get Silk White 16 GB variant and the Sandstone Black 64 GB without any invite. OnePlus is celebrating its anniversary on April 23rd with 75% discount on official Flip Covers and screen protectors in USA-Canada, EU, Hong Kong and Taiwan. For India, OnePlus is offering 50% off on OnePlus JBL E1+ Earphones, OnePlus White Flip Cover and OnePlus Premium Matte Screen Protector.
In a post on its forums OnePlus added that initially the OnePlus 2 will be invite only, but later move to open sales:
Since the early days, our company has changed quite a lot. We've grown to over 700 employees and have sold over one million OnePlus Ones worldwide. We've also learned an immeasurable amount from all of you. We pour over your comments on our forums and social media and soak in the feedback you give us at events all around the world. We try to not just listen, but also act on these lessons. Your feedback has resulted in a wider range of accessories, better logistics options and an evolution from invites to pre-orders to Tuesday Open Sales. Now, we’re taking it one step further.
With the experiences we've gained with the One, we will be far more prepared to make the same transition with the OnePlus 2. Yes, the 2 will initially launch with invites. We’re committed to maintaining razor-thin margins in order to give as much value as possible back to our users, and this drastically increases our risk. The OnePlus 2 will bring the challenges that come along with a brand new product, and initially, our invite system will help us to manage that risk. It also helps us to be sure that every OnePlus 2 user gets the amazing experience that they deserve.
