OnePlus One to Go on Sale on 20 January; No Invite Needed, Just Book the Flagship Phone

Popular start-up OnePlus has announced that the company would allow fans to order the flagship smartphone 'One' without any invites.

The company has confirmed that the sale will kick-off on Tuesday (20 January). But here's a catch. Fans will only get a two-hour window from 19:00 to 21:00 GMT (Asia: 19:00 – 21:00 HKT & North America: 7:00 pm to 9:00pm EST) to book the device.

This is a part of New Year promotional campaign "New Year; New Gear". Prospective buyers can try their luck in buying the elusive OnePlus One phone without taking the cumbersome invite-only route.

Earlier, users were forced to win some contest/promotional events after signing up on Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites. After some agonising wait, a few lucky consumers would get a pass (or an invite) and be eligible to book the device.

But now, they can directly order the phone and get it delivered right to their door-step. [Interested buyers, Click HERE.]

For the uninitiated, OnePlus One sports a 5.5-inch full HD (1920x1080p) display and ships with CyanogenMod v11S based Android KitKat v4.4 OS powered by 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 series quad-core CPU, Adreno 330 graphics engine, 3GB RAM, 16GB/64GB inbuilt memory and a high-capacity 3100 mAh battery.
