OnePlus 8 Series Sale Postponed For Indian Market

OnePlus 8 series comprises two smartphones - OnePlus 8 and the OnePlus 8 Pro. The OnePlus 8 has already gone on sale once through Amazon after the launch in April. Both phones of the OnePlus 8 series were announced in the Indian market on April 19. The company also revealed that both devices will go on sale starting May 29 with a special offer.

The sale was announced long after the two phones were launched due to the COVID-19 lockdown in the country. In the early days of the lockdown, e-commerce platforms were not allowed to deliver non-essential products. The company announced its sale as soon as the government allowed the supply of non-essential products in the orange and green regions.

Now, just a day before the sale, the company reveals that due to unforeseen circumstances, the company temporarily halted production last week which is the cause of delaying the date of sale in the Indian market. The general manager of OnePlus India, Vikash Agarwal claims the company has already resumed production.

The company shared some details about the revised sales timeline via a post on the OnePlus forum. According to the post, the company will offer a special limited sale on online and offline channels. This limited sales event will be held on May 29 (12PM). However, interested buyers will only be able to buy the OnePlus 8.

The company will soon announce the sales details of the OnePlus 8 Pro 5G. So, we have to wait for some time to get the Pro variant.

The company further said that those who have already pre-booked the OnePlus 8 series devices through Amazon India and OnePlus stores will now be able to buy the products once the stock arrives.

The OnePlus 8 comes with a price tag of Rs. 44,999 and the Pro variant is priced at Rs. 54,999 for the Indian market.
