OnePlus is temporarily dropping the invite system for the 1+1

Seemingly out of nowhere, OnePlus has decided to give consumers one last opportunity to buy one of the most interesting Android smartphones of the year without an invite. On Wednesday, OnePlus launched the Gift of One promotion, a limited time offer which will allow anyone to pick up a OnePlus One starting at just $299. This is the third time that the One has gone on sale to the public in the past few months as OnePlus has been attempting to atone for a rocky first year on the market. Both of the first two sales were limited to an hour, but this is the first time OnePlus is selling its phone to the public without a time limit. The only caveat on the site indicates that the “offer ends soon.” If you’ve been dying to pick up a OnePlus One, this might be your best chance to do so. OnePlus wants to sell 1 million smartphones by the end of the year — in order to accomplish that, the company is going to have to sell a lot of phones during this holiday promotion.
