OnePlus X to sell invite free in India, soon

OnePlus has announced that the OnePlus X will be available without an invite. Sadly, this doesn’t apply to customers in India just yet. Those interested in purchasing the smartphone in India will have to procure an invite or wait for some time as the invite free offer is expected to hit India soon. The OnePlus blog post reads, “Unlike its predecessor, the OnePlus 2 was invite-free approximately four months after its release. With the OnePlus X going invite-free in even less time, this is a trend that we mean to continue.” The blog post goes on to say, “It’s been almost two years since the OnePlus One saw the light of day, firmly putting our fledgling mobile startup on the map. The invite system was integral to our approach at the time, allowing us to scale our operations, while giving fans an engaging way to get involved with the product. One year, some successes, and the occasional bump in the road later, we were able to make the OnePlus One available for purchase without an invite.”

The OnePlus X was announced in India towards the end of October 2015. The OnePlus X is priced at Rs. 16,999 and is available on Amazon India. Coming to the specifications of the smartphone, the OnePlus X has a 5-inch AMOLED 1080p display. The smartphone runs on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop overlaid with the OxygenOS 2.2.0. Under the hood, the smartphone has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset coupled with 3GB RAM. The device has 16GB built-in storage that's expandable to an additional 128GB via a microSD card. It has a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front facing camera. A non-removable 2525mAh battery powers the entire package.
