OnePlus is bringing its One smartphone to India, to be sold via invites only for now

Hong Kong based phone manufacturer One Plus is all set to cater to the Indian consumer with new country specific invites. The company’s global director Carl Pei announced this in a forum thread on the official forum. He also gave an assurance that there would be plenty of invites and the company will give away invites via local partners and social media as well.

One Plus One is the product in question which brings top tier specs to the table at almost half the price. The One Plus One smartphone is available in two variants- a 16GB (Silk white) and 64GB (Sandstone black) which are priced at $299 (Rs. 18,000) and $349 (Rs. 21,500) respectively. Except for the internal storage both versions showcase a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chip with the quad-core CPU clocked at 2.5GHz, Adreno 330 GPU, 3GB of RAM, a 13MP rear camera and 5MP front facing camera.

Looking at the specs, it is evident that the phone is priced much lower than similarly specced devices such as the Moto X (2nd gen) and the HTC One E8 which are both priced above the Rs. 30K mark.

One Plus has clarified that it is taking it slow since it is still new to the Indian market. The company announced a pre-order system for the One smartphone for a majority of European countries and India may soon follow.

chips have servers in china hardcoded as default server.

it will keep sending stuff over time.

nothing in your phone is safe with these products. however good they look, however good the specs are.

it is upto the data manager how to use it.

Erm, I guess you'd feel safe if the same data was being sent to some US based servers?

Plot twist: It already is.

Trust me, its time to get rid off your prejudice against Chinese manufacturers. I have a Mi3 myself and I absolutely love it.

I wouldn't say it beats Xiaomi 'hands down'. Unless you were comparing it with Mi3, which is not supposed to compete with one plus one, but rather the likes of Moto G.

Mi4's more appropriate to compare this with.

Still one plus one also scores points on the UI front where it uses near stock Android, not many are fans of miui

 

[trollhunter]

Do you prefer a stock android experience? Maybe that'll change once you come across MIUI V5, it is awesome, you'll love it.

Yes, I have it. I'd say go for it if you're planning to. The device feels premium, works like a charm and doesnt burn a hole in your pocket. So thats nice eh? But xiaomi has permanently suspended mi3's sale in India.
