OnePlus One Set to Go Up for Pre-Order Next Week

OnePlus One, popularly known as the flagship smartphone killer in the tech circle will reportedly be put up for pre-order next week.

The company has officially opened the dedicated OnePlus One pre-order page and turned-on the countdown clock for the 15:00 GMT (11:00 am EDT; 20:30 pm IST) 27 October, inciting excitement of Android fans. Here is the trade-off, OnePlus One pre-order window will be opened only for one hour.

Sans the limited pre-order window, the company's new initiative is a welcome move for its fans, who, since its April unveiling had to go through the cumbersome route of winning the contest/promotional events via signing up on Facebook, Twitter and other social platform network.

After some agonizing wait, few lucky consumers would get a pass (or an invite) and be eligible to book the device. Now, for the first time, the pre-order system has been made available to all general public on 27 October.

"All of our accessories will be sold at celebratory sale prices when added to your order. In fact, for this week only our latest collaboration the JBL E1+ Earphones will be available for $24.99 and will revert back to full price once pre-orders have ended," said the company.
