The OnePlus 5 is sold exclusively through Amazon India, and, it went on sale on June 22 immediately after the launch. However, the smartphone was soon out of stock on Amazon, but, the sales started again from June 27. Having said that, neither OnePlus nor Amazon have revealed the exact number of smartphones sold within the launch week, but, the sales were 3x more in the first week of launch as compared to the 3T.
“Our mission is to make the best smartphone and the OnePlus 5 is yet another step in this direction. We are truly humbled by the unprecedented response to our latest flagship. The success of the OnePlus 5 is a great validation of our online first business model, and faith in exclusive partnership with our long-term strategic partner Amazon.in.” said Mr. Vikas Agarwal, General Manager – India, OnePlus.
Well, it’s needless to say that powerful hardware coupled with competitive pricing and fan following helped OnePlus sell the OnePlus 5 in large numbers in the first week of launch through Amazon. Besides, we aren’t even yet counting the sales through pop-up events that were held in different cities of India.
