While OnePlus and Ola started a dramatic campaign on Twitter, people took on to backfire the cab curator for its “poor services”.
After the OnePlus 3T went on sale today for Prime members on Amazon, OnePlus began a new campaign along with Olacabs today. In a little dramatic skit kind of a fashion, OnePlus tweeted Olacabs asking if their service is actually faster than the popular 30 minutes claims of a Pizza delivering company.
.@Olacabs Heard your cabs reach faster than the 30 minute pizza deliveries. Is that true?

Ola and OnePlus turned this into a challenge where they promised to turn the Olacabs into a OnePlus 3T experience zone, with the cabs arriving to the riders’ pickup locations in less than 15 minutes. And so they started a #OnePlusOlaDash hashtag.
.@OnePlus_IN You heard that right. Way faster than 30! Want to challenge us to a delivery dare?
— Ola (@Olacabs) December 12, 2016
.@Olacabs Here you go. Get your riders to experience our new OnePlus 3T in 15 minutes or less? Let’s call it the #OnePlusOlaDash
— OnePlus India (@OnePlus_IN) December 12, 2016

However, the entire campaign kind of backfired for Olacabs, with users bashing the company for its poor service.
@OnePlus_IN @Olacabs No, thats not True. Ola is only the shittiest Cab service. Prefer you go with @Uber_India

The OnePlus 3T flaunts a 5.5-inch full HD (1920×1080 pixels) Optic AMOLED display protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass 4. The Snapdragon 821 processor is paired with 6GB of RAM. ALSO READ: This is Not a OnePlus 3T Review
On the photography front, OnePlus hasn’t tweaked a lot to the primary camera, which is still a 16-megapixel snapper with Sony IMX 298 image sensor, f/2.0 aperture, PDAF support, and 4K video recording capabilities. Up front though, instead of an 8-megapixel snapper, the OnePlus 3T features a 16-megapixel fixed-focus selfie camera with f/2.0 aperture and 1080p video recording capabilities.
The OnePlus 3T also features a fingerprint scanner embedded into the home button up front, an Alert Slider on the side, and connectivity options like dual-SIM card (nano) slots, 4G LTE support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and GPS. The OnePlus 3T runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow-based Oxygen OS, and will be updated to Android 7.0 Nougat later this year.
