The startup smartphone manufacturer-used the invite system as a way for consumers to buy its devices so that it could “scale its operations” to meet demand, but beginning on December 5, the OnePlus 2 will be invite-free forever. As a holiday promotion, the company is also making the lower-tier OnePlus X invite-free for a brief window from December 5 to 7. The OnePlus website currently lists the OnePlus 2 16GB model as out of stock, so it’s not clear if the company will increase its stock over the next few days in time for the holiday season.

If you’re interested in the company’s phones, but want to read up on them first, you can check out our reviews of the OnePlus 2 and OnePlus X.-We gave both devices a 3.5 out of 5. The OnePlus 2 failed to impress much as its predecessor with its lack of NFC, MicroSD card slot, and a sub-par camera. But for its price, it delivers a premium build quality, flagship specs, and runs near-stock Android. The OnePlus X is-a welcome addition to the family, offering a gorgeous design at a low price point. Related:- OnePlus X review The invite system has always been the main barrier between buyers and OnePlus’ phones, and the company has been moving away from the system recently. OnePlus offered its new phones sans-invite on several occasions in 2015, but those were limited-time deals. Now that the OnePlus 2 is available for anyone to buy, long wait times are likely.
