Here are the countries where the OnePlus 5 is up for pre-orders.
The OnePlus 5 boasts design improvements, a dual-camera module, advanced chipset, and more. Although the launch event was hosted in home country China, OnePlus has made the smartphone available for pre-orders in select countries outside China.
Starting today, OnePlus 5 will be available in the US, UK, China, Canada, and Hong Kong. Unfortunately, enthusiasts in India will have to wait till the official debut on June 22 to pre-order the smartphone. It is to be noted that potential customers in the international markets are eligible for pre-launch offers which include up to 50 percent discount on accessories.
However, in order to pre-order the OnePlus 5, there is a certain process to be followed. If you go to the official website, onePlus.net and open the OnePlus 5 page, you will see ‘Early drop’ option on the top right. It is here that you will be required to provide a code for the pre-order. This code is not a special code, but something that is hidden in the launch video. To make it easier for you, the code is ‘Clearer Photos.’ ALSO READ: OnePlus 5 review roundup: Affordable flagship smartphone with unimpressive dual-camera
