OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus 6T earlier this week on October 29 at an event in New York, and then the very next day, on October 30, OnePlus launched the OnePlus 6T in India at an event held in New Delhi. The smartphone went on sale in India through Amazon yesterday, and soon after the sales began, OnePlus began its attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the title of ‘Most people unboxing simultaneously’. Well, thanks to the highly enthusiastic OnePlus community, the China-based smartphone brand succeeded in setting this Guinness World Record.
A total of 559 OnePlus community members came together at Richardson and Cruddas in Mumbai for this event. The attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the title of ‘Most people unboxing simultaneously’ began at 8.30 pm on November 1, i.e., yesterday, and, at 9.30 pm, the global authority on world records – Guinness World Records – confirmed this record.
Participant members were able to get their hands-on the OnePlus 6T on the same day it went on sale because of Amazon’s Prime Now – a service that promises 2-hour delivery of products in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad.
“At OnePlus, we are constantly working on creating a great user experience which goes beyond the device itself and the recent GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS attempt was one such endeavor. Unboxing a new phone is a very special occasion and for our latest flagship OnePlus 6T, it was truly a heartwarming moment to see hundreds of community members coming together to create history.” said Vikas Agarwal, General Manager, OnePlus India.
“I was amazed with the kind of energy and enthusiasm that was exhibited by the OnePlus community and breaking of this record is a reinforcement of the brand’s popularity in India. This is another meaningful benchmark OnePlus has set for the industry, together with its loyal community,” said Rishi Nath, Adjudicator, Guinness World Records.
