With the OnePlus 8T launch being just one day ahead, the company has announced the smartphone’s Pop Up Event for the device that will take place in its virtual reality platform, OnePlus World, which it had previously unveiled.

For those unaware, OnePlus World is a VR platform from the smartphone maker and is designed as an interactive experience for its users. The Chinese brand will likely add other inclusions and events in this platform and is now even bringing the OnePlus 8T Pop Up event to the digital 3D realm. This event is said to begin starting from 14th October 2020 at 8:20 pm IST (Indian Standard Time).

The company is also promising to offer a “unique engagement experience for the community including a virtual unboxing of the pop up bundle, a virtual experience of the device in AR and purchase.” For those interested, you can get the pop up bundle through the OnePlus World platform by going to the Ultra Store and clicking on ‘Get OnePlus Pop-Up Box’ and then on ‘Buy Now.’

The OnePlus 8T 5G launch event will be held on October 14, 7:30 pm IST globally. It is the latest flagship from the company and arrives as the late premium device launch the company typically announced later in the year. The handset is expected to feature top notch specs like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC that will power its 120Hz refresh rate display. So stay tuned for more updates.

With every launch of a new OnePlus phone comes pop-up events that are held across various cities. A pop-up event is a chance for fans to get a hands-on experience of the new devices and also an opportunity for interested buyers to purchase before the first sale. However, this year’s pop-up event will be different.

The coronavirus pandemic has caused several manufacturers to switch to an online-only launch for their events as gatherings are high-risk places for the spread of the disease. Based on this, OnePlus is changing its traditional pop-up event to an online experience this year.

According to a press release on the official OnePlus forum, the pop-up experience will be online and will begin immediately after the live-stream ends on April 14. OnePlus is keeping a tight-lip on details but says teasers will be posted this week.

Since it will be online, everyone can partake, unlike physical pop-up events that are limited to certain countries and select cities. However, we are curious as to how many folks will get the freebies handed out at pop-up events or if there will even be any this year.
