OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei on stage during the launch of OnePlus 5T
Last week, Chinese smartphone brand OnePlus
launched its newest variant - the OnePlus 5T. The company launched the latest model just months after the OnePlus 5 saying there was "room for improvement" to create an even better user experience. Like any new smartphone in the market, the interest is high even for the OnePlus 5T that goes on sale in India tomorrow. As customers gear up in front of their computers to press the "add to cart" button to get hold of their OnePlus 5T, one hopeful man tried to take a shortcut.
On Twitter, OnePlus co-Founder Carl Pei shared a screengrab of an e-mail he received from a very forthcoming user who demanded he be given the latest OnePlus smartphone as his existing one was "having reboot problem". In an e-mail sent on October 11, a month before the new model, the man asked for the OnePlus 5T as he was the first one to predict the company's success. The user also claimed to be a "first fan whole world" and said it was his "natural right" to get a OnePlus 5T. Wish we knew what that means.
With no response to his brazen mail, he tried again - this time five days before the launch. This time his mail wasn't ignored as co-founder Carl Pei shared the email with his 1.2 lakh Twitter followers who were amused with his very frank request.
After the audacious demand by the "first fan", many others tried their luck with the OnePlus co-founder.
The OnePlus 5T
featuring the bezel-less design and "Face Unlock" feature goes on
sale in India tomorrow. The 6GB RAM/ 64GB inbuilt storage variant will cost Rs. 32,999 while the 8GB RAM/ 128GB version will cost Rs 37,999. However, customers will only have one option in terms of colour - Midnight Black.
