After months of patiently waiting, potential customers can now get their hands on the OnePlus One smartphone officially as the device has been launched in the country. However, it won’t be an easy task as reserving a unit means that you’ll need to secure an invite which is available only through contests and other events hosted by the company.
The OnePlus One is exclusive to Amazon India and it’s currently being made available with 64GB of onboard storage and in sandstone black for Rs 21999. The phone also comes with CyanogenMod 11S out of the box, but the company will be issuing its own OS based on Lollipop next month to replace the custom Android fork since it won’t be officially supported in the country.
The smartphone is widely known as the flagship killer, mainly because it has high-end specs and such a low price tag. The device is powered by a 2.5GHz quad core Snapdragon 801 SOC with 3GB of RAM. It offers a 5.5-inch 1080p display on the front with a 5MP selfie camera and a 13MP Sony snapper on the rear.
