The smartphone OnePlus One who delighted the entire high-tech press has been difficult to acquire far. Indeed, you need to have an invitation from a friend or participate in a contest for the right to buy the smartphone.
But that could change next October 27. Indeed, the OnePlus One will officially pre-order Monday, October 27, 2014 . At least, sort of..
OnePlus will allow pre-orders for an hour, and you can validate everything from 15 pm GMT, 17 pm in France. In other words, this means that the small window of 17-18 h is the only time to get your hands on an "invitation" . There is no limit on the number of devices that can be controlled this time. If the company has a smartphone in stock, it will be immediately shipped. If this is not the case, your order will pre-order and you will have a delivery date. If you do not want to wait weeks or months your smartphone arrives at your home, you can always cancel your order afterwards.
This process allows the company to avoid a pile of unsold smartphones while helping OnePlus to offer mobile cheap. Indeed, the OnePlus One smartphone is sold almost at cost of production, and the company would lose money if it were to save unsold.
If you are afraid of not having enough time next Monday, you can start to "prepare" your pre-order now. All you need to do next Monday will be to click on the buy button.
To recap, the OnePlus One features a 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 801, 3GB of RAM, a 3100 mAh battery, and a rear camera 13 megapixels. A 16GB model costs 269 euros, while the 64GB version is priced at 299 euros.
OnePlus also charges the smartphone with a customized version of Android developed by Cyanogen Inc. It is based on the latest open source Android and includes access to Google Play Store and other Google applications, but it offers more customization parameters.
If OnePlus One does not have all the features of the latest flagship smartphone from Google, it's less than half the price, and at least in terms of components, this is a step above the Nexus 5.
