OnePlus 8 Series Limited Edition Sale Set For May 29, Open Sale Delayed

OnePlus 8 series smartphones were launched in April but due to the tough situation caused due to the COVID-19 crisis, the company faced some production issues and the open sale has postponed. Now, news regarding the open sale of the OnePlus 8 5G series has emerged online.

Going by the previous announcement made by OnePlus, the latest smartphones will be available on open sale starting from May 29 in India. As per the announcement on its forums, a special edition sale of the OnePlus 8 series will happen starting from tomorrow.

OnePlus 8 5G Series Sale Details

A special limited edition sale will take place via both the online and offline platforms for buyers to grab the OnePlus 8. This special sale will be held at 12 PM on May 29. We can expect limited stocks of the device to be put up for sale on the mentioned date.

Those who have pre-ordered the smartphone either via the official OnePlus channels or Amazon India will have to wait to make the final purchase. They will be able to get their hands on the device only when there is enough stock. As of now, there is no confirmation regarding when the open sale might debut officially in the country.

Due to unexpected & uncontrollable circumstances, our production had to be halted. Therefore, we have decided to reschedule the sales date for #OnePlus8Series5G.
