OnePlus One Pre-order Round 2: Company to Offer Service for only One Hour on 17 November

Chinese smartphone maker, OnePlus, announced new details related to the company's upcoming pre-order service next week.

Company spokesperson Bridget Hickey promised that the 17 November sales service will be glitch free and open for only one hour. It will start at 16:00 GMT (8am PST; 11am EST; 21:30pm IST).

Last month's (27 October to be precise) pre-order service was marred by disruptions. It is learnt that the website couldn't handle the unprecedented traffic leading to a server crash, which left many users frustrated for not being able to complete the pre-order transaction.

Later, the service was reportedly extended for a couple more hours so that consumers' whose transaction got cut-off midway could complete it.

As a goodwill gesture, the company has announced that the OnePlus accessories will be sold for discounted rates on 17 November.

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.
