OnePlus on Wednesday announced its One flagship smartphone will be available in India from Tuesday December 2, exclusively on Amazon.in. The company has yet to announce a price, but had earlier confirmed the 64GB version would cost less than Rs. 25,000.

In-line with the company's global invite system, the OnePlus One smartphone will be available for purchase only for users with invites. Users in India will receive India-specific invites through OnePlus and Amazon.

The company says the OnePlus and Amazon platforms have been integrated so that invites claimed by a OnePlus account can be used to purchase the '2014 Flagship Killer' on the Amazon OnePlus One page. Starting Wednesday, users can log onto oneplus.net/in to register their interest for a OnePlus One invite.

The OnePlus One runs CyanogenMod 11S or CM 11S, with the 'S' signifying the customisation for the One smartphone. Notably, CM 11S is based on Android 4.4 KitKat, while the company has issued several OTA updates bringing bug fixes and new features in the interim, with the latest in November taking it to CM 11S 44S.

The One smartphone sports a 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with a 1080x1920 pixel resolution and offers a pixel density of 401ppi. The display boasts Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection.

It comes with 3GB of RAM and is powered by the quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 clocked at 2.5GHz with Adreno 330 GPU. Unfortunately, the OnePlus One does not support expandable storage.

The One sports a 13-megapixel rear IMX214 sensor with six lenses and f/2.0 aperture that boasts quick shutter speed of only 0.3-seconds, according to OnePlus. It also comes with a 5-megapixel front-facing camera.

Connectivity options on the OnePlus One include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC functionality. It features a 3100mAh non-removable battery.

OnePlus, the one-year-old smartphone
manufacturer from China, on Wednesday said
that its OnePlus One phone will be available in
India on December 2. The phone will be
available only on Amazon.in and a consumer
will require an invite to buy it.
This is first time a Chinese startup has
partnered with a local e-commerce to try its
luck with the invite-only product.
The company remains tight-lipped about the
pricing of the product. The price will be
revealed on December 2.
OnePlus One packs in a Qualcomm 801 SoC
running at 2.5GHz. It sports a 5.5-inch FullHD
screen, 3GB RAM, 13MP rear camera and 3100
mAh battery. The phone has two variants - one
with 16GB internal storage and the other with
64GB.
According to Amazon.in, for now the company
has only 1000 invites available for the phone.
A consumer does need to follow a tedious
process in order to gain an invite. First, you'll
have to subscribe to the OnePlus newsletter
on Amazon.in. After subscribing and receiving
a subscription mail, you'll have to click on the
unique link to register with your OnePlus
account. This will entitle you an invite. Once
you get your invite, click on 'Buy' to purchase
on Amazon.in. Once routed back to Amazon.in,
choose the one in Sandstone black, enter the
invite code on product page and proceed to
checkout.
However, the model seems to leave a lot of
excited customers aggravated. As of now,
customers can try and subscribe to their email,
or emails, in order to secure a invite, which will
work on a first-cum-first-serve basis. And once
you get the invite you'll have to avail the
product within the first 48hours, else it'll
expire.
Since, Amazon.in website mentions the
availability of 2 variants - 16GB and 64GB of
the One, we're expecting more competitive
pricing, with the model with bigger memory to
be priced under Rs. 25,000.
 
Here’s how to get an invite

1. For an invite, users will have to subscribe to the OnePlus One newsletter, and then enter contests and events hosted by the company for India or by Amazon.in.

2. Once you receive the invite, click the unique link and register with your OnePlus One account. Here you will see the invite. One has to simply click on ‘Buy’ to purchase the device on Amazon.in.

3. On the site, choose the One in Sandstone Black and enter your invite code on the product page and proceed to checkout.

From the time the invite is generated, users will have only 48 hours to buy the device. If the time frame for the invite expires, then you will have to follow the same procedure and try again.
