OnePlus, probably in their drive to sell all the OnePlus One smartphones they have before they launch the OnePlus 2, came up with a sale price last week – USD$50.00 off on the OnePlus One. To their surprise, the sale was a resounding success. With a lot of high-performance, mid-range priced smartphones appearing, it seems like a pretty logical move for OP to make that 50 buck discount permanent.
So yes, officially, the OnePlus One smartphone is permanently priced at USD$249. It might be best to remind you what you’re getting for USD$249 – a 5.5-inch full HD (1080p) LTPS LCD display powered by a very serviceable 2.5Ghz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor and an Adreno 330 GPU, supported by 3GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage. It’s a pretty sweet deal, if you think about it, taking into consideration the huge ROM support and the Cyanogen Lollipop software.
To sweeten the offer, OP has struck a deal with Dropbox – to give all who will purchase the OnePlus on this sweet new deal a one year Dropbox Pro subscription with a 64GB OnePlus One for only USD$349. Yeah, the deal is somewhat crazy sweet that some old OnePlus One customers are actually dying of envy.
But yeah, it is what it is. And we see this as a logical move for OP to counter the hype of robust mid-rangers like the ASUS ZenFone 2. More than that, it builds up the excitement to when we’re finally seeing the long-awaited OnePlus 2.
