Why Buying A OnePlus 5 On Amazon Right Now Is A Bad Idea
According to PhoneArena, there are several unofficial pre-order posts in Amazon for the OnePlus 5 right now. These third-party sellers also offer a US warranty, but you’ll be burdened to pay a hefty price hike of up to $300 for the slate gray variant and $360 for the midnight black version.
There are also pre-order posts without the warranty bundled with the device but it is still pretty expensive compared to its original price.
The OnePlus 5 is scheduled for release in just a few days and will also be made available on OnePlus’ official website by June 27. Stay tuned to Blasting news for more tech news.
