OnePlus 8 5G, the cheaper of the two flagships from OnePlus, goes on special sale today in India. The Chinese smartphone maker announced that it is delaying the open sale of OnePlus 8 Pro. However, it is offering a special access sale for the OnePlus 8 5G. The smartphone will go on sale at 12:00PM IST today on Amazon India. To recall, the OnePlus 8 Series was launched globally on April 14 and was initially said to become available from May 29 in India.
OnePlus had also held an early birds sale for its fans on May 18 where the device went out of stock in a flash. At the time, we reported that those who ordered the device will get it shipped by May 26. However, with lockdown still in place and some areas marked as Red Zone, it is not clear whether OnePlus managed to deliver these devices. With OnePlus 8 Pro being a clear favorite this year, OnePlus is paving way for its cheaper sibling with these sales in India.
