OnePlus on Thursday announced it will
soon be launching the 16GB Silk White
variant of the OnePlus One smartphone
in India.
For now, no pricing information has bee
revealed, but it should be significantly
cheaper than the 64GB Sandstone Black
variant that is selling for Rs. 21,999 with
invites in India. It should also be cheape
than the 16GB Mi 4, which is priced at
Rs. 19,999, if taking into account the
64GB Mi 4 is priced at Rs. 23,999.
The company at the India launch of the
OnePlus One had said the 16GB Silk
White model will not be launched in
India, but evidently has changed that
decision.
The Chinese smartphone manufacturer
made the announcement on the OnePlus
forum and OnePlus India Facebook Pag
To win invites for the first flash sale of
the 16GB Silk White OnePlus One
smartphone, the company also
announced a contest where users have
to answer a question correctly as a reply
to the post on the forum or Facebook
page, and fill out a short form with their
name, address, and email details.
Winners will be chosen at random, and
given their invites by February 23, tippin
a launch sometime next week.
The question is, "What do cashews and
the OnePlus One have in common?" The
answer is that the Silk White back cover
is made using the cashew nut. How you
ask? Well, a Japanese company called
Cashew makes lacquer coatings and
friction materials for electronics, sports
products, woodwork and more, using a
plant phenol compound extracted from
cashew nuts. On the OnePlus One, this i
supposed to provide a silky smooth,
'baby skin' feel.
