As we reported recently, OnePlus is coming to India with its ‘flagship killer’ device, the One and it will be an Amazon exclusive. As per the announcement, the phone will only be available to people who have an India-specific invite. Exact launch and prices have not been disclosed yet but are supposed to be announced soon.
The OnePlus One is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC which we saw recently in the Motorola Moto X (2014). In terms of hardware, the phone is quite similar to the new Moto X except for the screen size and quality. The OnePlus One is expected to be priced less than Rs. 25,000 for the 64GB version which will make it a bargain over its closest competitor the Moto X (2014) priced at Rs. 31,999.
The only thing that could make this deal sour is the invite only system that OnePlus is trying to push in India. We have seen Xiaomi getting hefty retaliation from Indian customers over limited stock sales of the Mi3. A OnePlus executive commented in the forum earlier that the phone will be sold though the invite-only system initially, and could later be sold 'regularly' via the e-commerce partner.
