OnePlus has announced that its upcoming flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 3, will be available without any invites. The company’s co-founder Carl Pei made the announcement via the company’s forums. He also noted that the device will exclusively be available via the Loop VR during the first two hours of its launch, after which anyone would be able to purchase the phone. The device is scheduled to launch on June 15 and is set to be the “world’s first global shopping experience in VR.”
Pei said, “With the OnePlus 3, we’re officially saying goodbye to invites. It’s a big step for us as a company, our fans, and fellow tech enthusiasts. After sending out millions of invites over the past two years, it’s hard to not think back to the early days and how far we’ve come. We’re proud to have reached a point where we feel confident in making our new device available without invites from day one.” Pei noted that while people did complain about the system, it allowed the company to scale its operations and manage risks effectively. OnePlus has used the invite system for the launch all its previous devices, but now feels that the company has reached a point where it can make the OnePlus 3 available without invites from day one.
