OnePlus One Specs Review, Price Details: Smartphone Sells for Just $300
The OnePlus One is an unusual high-spec smartphone in the sense that it's priced at half than most of the high-end smartphones in the market. Since its release earlier in June, the OnePlus One has been regarded as a game changer proving that a high-end phone can also be budget friendly as well.
The company however faced hundreds of refund requests from customers who have purchased their phones because of a yellow band screen issue. This doesn't necessarily mean trouble for OnePlus but the refunds isn't helping with the phone's promotion.
Before release, the phone was only attainable through invites and pre-orders but now that it is released, the phone can be bought in selected stores like Oppomart.
