After its announcement last week, the OnePlus One took the internet by storm with its low $299 USD price and killer specs.
However, there was just one problem. And it was huge. The only way one could get a device was if they received an invite or if they were selected to participate in the phone smashing contest that allowed you to purchase the smartphone for only $1. Others that weren’t able to get an invite or have the guts to destroy the phone they thought was perfectly fine before were left in the cold.
OnePlus has realized the demand was far too large to be contained so they now have put up a schedule on their site to inform customers of when they can expect to purchase the device:
- Ready now – 100 for phone smashers
- Mid to late May – Larger batch 16GB Silk White for the first batch of invites
- Early June – Larger batch 64GB Sandstone Black
- Later in June – Increased general availability, people who want it should be able to get an invite without much trouble in June
Let us know in the comments below if you are still planning on purchasing the device you thought was going to be available upon release but is now delayed until June, or if you’re planning on upgrading to something else.
