Although the phone doesn’t officially go on sale until June 27, OnePlus held an early sale both online and at pop-up shops that opened in various cities around the world such as New York City, where the queue went all the way around the city block.

If you were following the live-event, you’d know there was a code you could enter on the OnePlus website to place a pre-order for the device. Seeing as both the 6GB and 8GB models are out of stock for the pre-sale, we might as well tell you the code was “Clearer Photos”.
Surely, OnePlus had set a certain number of devices aside for the pre-sale while we expect there to be more units for when the OnePlus 5 officially goes on sale on June 27.
Check out our full review of the OnePlus 5 here.
Have you ordered the OnePlus 5? Do you have plans to grab the 6GB or 8GB model?
