Back in July, OnePlus via an official blog said that the company would launch its operations in India soon. Now once again the company has once again mentioned India in its post on the same forum site. The company confirms that it will release the flagship device in India.
Thus, OnePlus One will surely come to India. Moreover, since a coordinator will be hired to resolve distributions, operation and market analysis, we're sure that mass production is imminent and everybody will soon get their hands on the flagship.
To be precise, here is what OnePlus representative has written on the blog, "A key figure to our success in India will be our General Manager who will help us set up the India team and operations. Today, we're announcing that we're hiring for this position. Like any other company, we're looking for experience, brains, and perseverance - but none of this matters if we don't share the same dreams or connect on culture." It further reads, "We need your help to source the crazy talent that will help build OnePlus into an Indian success story. Please have a look at our job description, and share it with whomever you think might be a good fit." However, the company has not yet revealed the precise date for the launch of the device in India.
What’s the catch, you ask? Sounds like the perfect phone, doesn’t it? Well, it isn’t quite. The biggest complaint from the community isn’t really about the phone itself but about the fact that you can’t just go to a store or online and buy the phone. You’ll need an invite, and you can only get an invite from someone who already has one, through various contests, or by being a supporter on the forums (the earlier you join the forums, the sooner you will get your invite). On top of that, you’ll have to claim your invite within 24 hours, after which it gets canceled. As for the phone itself, some users have complained of a yellow-ish tinge on their screen, call volume problems, and other small niggles.
No phone is perfect, but if you look at the price to performance ratio, the OnePlus One comes pretty close.
The phone will cost you $299(which comes to around Rs 18,000) for the 16 GB variant and $349 for the 64 GB version(roughly Rs 21,500). Yes, let that sink in. Those prices are in dollars because the phone is not yet available for purchase in India. That hasn’t stopped people in India from attaining an invite and getting the phone shipped from the US (or any of the other launch countries). The phone can also be acquired at a premium on various websites and through scalpers. If that is too much work for you and you are in no hurry to get the phone, it has officially been announced that the phone will be coming to India soon.
