The OnePlus One has been delayed in Europe due to a design choice

The highly coveted OnePlus One Android handset is yet to reach buyers in Europe,Android World reveals, as the company apparently acknowledged a critical design error that lead to its One stock being halted at customs – and it’s apparently a rather silly error. This new delay follows another recent issue, when OnePlus was forced to delay shipments in order to address a critical software issue. OnePlus apparently decided to “never settle” on on the design of the regulatory icons on the back of the handset, thus changing the CE icon in the process. Unsurprisingly, EU customs decided not to allow the shipment to go through. “The issue stems from our vision for the design of the OnePlus One,” the company wrote in an email to a buyer. “For the back cover, we wanted the regulatory icons and text to be in harmony with each other and appear be as minimalistic as possible. In order to achieve this, we modified the CE icon to match the other icons. This was deemed unacceptable and our shipment was returned.”
