OnePlus X Goes 'Completely Invite-Free

OnePlus on Thursday announced that it will be making the OnePlus X "completely invite-free" - specifically, in regions other than India. OnePlus confirmed that the phone will go on sale without invites "shortly". This means that interested consumers will still have to procure an invite to buy the OnePlus X smartphone as of now.

OnePlus Co-Founder Carl Pei confirmed the news on the company's forum. "We're extremely excited to be making the OnePlus X invite-free more quickly this time around," he said.
According to Pei, the company with every launch is learning how to handle the demands and expectations of consumers. He however stressed that the "invite system" has been integral to the company strategy helping it scale operations while at the same time engaging the community with the new product. Pei gave example of how OnePlus made the OnePlus 2 invite-free in roughly four months after its release while the OnePlus X has now gone invite-free in "less time."
Previously, the OnePlus X was available to consumers without invites every Tuesday.
