[INDIA] OnePlus 5 Indian Thread

[praveen6585]

Hi all!

OnePlus definitely seems to be considering India to be one of its prime markets and is releasing it on 22nd June 2017 - just 2 days after the global launch.

The invites were on sale on 12th June 2017 for INR 999 and included a whole bunch of goodies.

I managed to purchased the invite and will be attending the event. Hoping OnePlus has some more surprises for us in store!

Lets discuss what we are looking forward to most in the phone and who is sure of picking it up! Let us see if the people attending the event can get in touch beforehand so that we can meet in person there!

Hopefully I shall get it if I am able to order in time from Amazon on the 22nd, I prefer Amazon or buy from an experience store rather than buying from the Popups or launch events

Even I was planning on buying from Amazon/OnePLus store. The invite code and voucher for INR 999 will be valid for 3 days it seems so it is not mandatory to purchase at the event. Of course if it is unbelievably awesome I might just end up buying it immediately!

Buying it on the launch day may give you some free accessories like back cover just like they did for the 3T so now that you have the invite code and the pass you should go for it. I am from New Delhi so the popup would come here by 28th and Amazon would deliver before then being prime with them.

had you bought oneplus 3 before they launched 3t? i hope they don't do something similar with OP5 and launch OP5T within few months!

No they won't. 3t was a special case or something. Just one phone a year would however not keep them in the limelight for a full year so they would most likely pull off a OnePlus x5 later in October. Not sure though, just a hunch. And yeah, I bought the OnePlus3 on the launch day as well

advantages:
bragging rights, able to get your hands on the phone before anyone else, possible freebies like cases

disadvantages:
usually first batch of phones *might* have any teething troubles which usually get fixed in subsequent batches.. most companies wont be able to stress test it for normal usage.. software issues can be ironed out by updates but not hardware issues like what happened with Note 7

thank you! my primary phone gave up on me recently. making do with a redmi2 temporarily, but hate the lag. used to use nexus4 till a year back.. what a wonderful device that was!
really need a value for money device - onepplus3t and oneplus5 are in consideration set. not really concerned about bragging rights just need a great fast phone for work if oneplus was still selling 128gb version of oneplus3t, i'd buy it right now!
