It’s debatable whether a flash sale or an invitation system is better, but, for those interested in buying a OnePlus One smartphone, here’s a quick guide on how to buy the smartphone. Please note that all invitations to India will be issued only after December 2nd. As the company had previously noted, users who successfully purchase the global version of the smartphone will be able to enjoy the warranty in India.
Please also note that OnePlus One invitations are only valid for 48 hours after the invitation is generated
