Chinese device manufacturer OnePlus has sold more than a
million units of its latest flagship device, the OnePlus 6, in just 22 days
after its launch.
The company’s earlier products, OnePlus 5 and 5T, too
crossed the one million mark but it took them more than three months to achieve
it.
“Since before OnePlus launched, we've always taken care to
listen closely to our users and deliver smartphones which combine design and
power. The OnePlus 6 is our most balanced handset yet, combining style and
speed for a unique experience. Our approach has been rewarded by returning
users and new customers alike, and we're grateful to the OnePlus community as
the OnePlus 6 has become our fastest selling handset ever,” said Pete Lau, CEO,
OnePlus.
The company’s earlier products, OnePlus 5 and 5T, too
crossed the one million mark but it took them more than three months to achieve
it.
However, the sales figures seem insipid when compared to
global bigwigs such as Apple or Samsung.
The glaring difference in numbers can be attributed mostly
to the sales strategy. For instance, in India, the phone can be bought online
only through Amazon India and the official OnePlus website. The devices are
available for purchase only through Croma outlets on the brick and mortar part.
"We have fewer sales channels (mostly online), are
available in fewer regions, and sell direct to consumers," Lau told
Business Insider.
The company's achievement seems even more significant if one
considers the fact that the phone is not available on Verizon, the largest
carrier in the US when numbers of customers are considered.
Termed as the ultimate ‘flagship killer’, the device comes in
6GB RAM/64GB storage, 8GB RAM/128GB storage and a special limited Marvel
Avengers Limited Edition, version which comes with 8GB RAM and a massive 256
storage option.
The device sports a 6.28-inch FullHD+ display along with the
latest Snapdragon 845 SoC. On the optics side, 20MP + 16MP dual-rear camera setup
along with a 16MP front camera. The device is the first ever in the world which
can capture slow motion videos at an incredible 480 frames-per-second.

In order to celebrate its achievement, OnePlus has launched
a new offer called ‘Community Celebration Season’. As part of the offer, buyers
who will purchase the phone between June 15 and June 26, will have a chance of
winning another OnePlus 6. The company will announced two winners everyday
taking the total to 24 winners.

the below mentioned channels: www.oneplus.in, Amazon.in, OnePlus Experience
