The launch of the OnePlus 2, the flagship smartphone from Chinese manufacturer OnePlus, has certainly changed the perception of people regarding flagship smartphones, since this device offers stat-of-the-art specs at a really unbelievable inexpensive price. Hence, the demand for such a handset is quite natural. It is not surprising that OnePlus has already received 500,000 invitation requests in just 24 hours!

IB Times reports that the numbers are swelling fast and at present stand over 900,000. Considering the current trend, it won't be very long before the signups for OnePlus 2 invites go beyond the 1 million mark.

The gigantic figure reveals how the company has earned the trust of thousands of people worldwide. While merely signing up for an OnePlus 2 invitation does not ensure the purchase of the handset, the Chinese company will send out invites for select prospects to purchase the flagship in separate groups. There is no doubt that the demand for OnePlus 2 is going through the roof and what remains to be seen is how OnePlus deals with the situation.

While promoting the OnePlus 2 ahead of its launch, the Chinese tech giant had revealed that it has a new invitation system in place to meet the requests of interested buyers earlier than before. OnePlus confirmed in a post on its official blog post that the OnePlus 2 launch inventory will be up by 30-50 percent and it assured to send out additional invites.

The newly-introduced Reservation List of OnePlus provides an opportunity for all wanting to purchase the OnePlus 2 even without being active on company's forums and social media accounts. All that the interested buyers need to do is just put down their email address on the list and wait for an invite. Nevertheless, the queue is getting longer by the hour, as the company is now dealing with nearly 1 million requests.

In fact, the reservation list works completely on a first-come, first-serve basis. When a prospective buyer receives an invite, he/ she will have to purchase the OnePlus 2 smartphone within 24 hours or the invite is passed on to the next potential buyer in the reservation list.
