The OnePlus X may not be going on open sale in India, but it will be available without an invite for 1 day via a tie-up with Ola Cabs. The new initiative is happening on December 8 and taking place in Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad.
To participate, a person has to open the Ola app between 10 am and 7 pm, select the OnePlus X icon, choose Ride Now and confirm the transaction. A taxi with a OnePlus executive is supposed to arrive at their location. Individuals can either choose to pay by cash or card. Note that only 1 device will be sold per user.
OnePlus recently announced it was hosting a 3-day open sale for the OnePlus X from December 5 to 7. Sadly, this offer wasn’t applicable in India. A representative of the China-based brand clarified the manufacturer had plans to have one in the future but did not give out any more details.
