The massive sum of sales revenue figures is through data compiled from every major platform in China. This includes the offline physical stores, the company’s official website, and known e-commerce/retailing platforms as well. Notably, the sale is just the part of the initial sales and with 5,000 Yuan being an estimated average expenditure, OnePlus made over 100 million Yuan in just a minute by selling 20,000 units.
This figure roughly translates to over 14 million US Dollars, and goes to show the success the company is already seeing with its latest flagship lineup. Despite its pricing that is the highest asking price for any OnePlus device, the premium grade handsets are already a top pick for people in China.
