With Samsung just launching the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3, the hype for foldable smartphones is high. OnePlus had jumped on this hype train with a new foldable phone teaser yesterday, but this turned out to be parody for a new promotion.
In its official OnePlus USA Twitter handle, the Chinese smartphone maker shared a new teaser. In this short video, what appears to be a foldable smartphone was teased, which was first released yesterday when the new Samsung foldable devices were launched. But now, the entire video has revealed that this was nothing more than a spoof to share that its flagship OnePlus 9 model is available for a special deal in the US.
So, the teaser video was a simple promotional stunt to reveal that the base model of its 2021 flagship model will be available for a 50 percent discount on the company’s official website. Although, while this offer sounds great on paper, it is restricted to the US and only for the T-Mobile network. Furthermore, the customer will receive the 375 US Dollars cashback in the form of 24 months of bill credits.
Notably, the company is also offering free Buds Z TWS earbuds to select customers that purchase the smartphone during this deal. This 50 percent off deal is available across all variants of the OnePlus 9, which features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC, a 120Hz Fluid Display, Hasselblad Camera, 65W fast charging, and more. In other words, this half off deal is one of the best prices at which you can buy this model as of right now.
