| The 2016 Flagship Killer will be available to anyone in the UK for one hour, starting at 11:00 |
ONEPLUS is ditching its frustratingly-exclusive invite system and allowing anyone in the UK to order the £239 Flagship Killer in a ONE HOUR flash sale.
The OnePlus 2 will finally go on sale to everyone in the UK, starting around lunchtime today.
Dubbed the 2016 Flagship Killer, the smartphone first went on sale back in early August.
Unfortunately – only those with an exclusive invite were allowed to buy the £239 phablet.
But that's all about to change – albeit for only an hour.
OnePlus is holding a flash sale on its website for one hour, starting at 11:00 BST.
The Chinese firm will allow anyone to order its second smartphone for one hours without an invitation.
The flash sale was set-up by way of an apology after OnePlus admitted it "messed up" with the launch.
"It’s almost time," the small smartphone firm announced on its official blog.
"You’ve been very patient as we’ve worked to roll out our new flagship phone to our fans around the world.
"We know that we could’ve made this experience much more smooth for our users, and we appreciate your patience."
"The maximum is two phones per order, but the good news is there's no limit to the number of orders you can place," it added.
"As we are expecting high demand, the order processing days may differ from the normal times.
"Your estimated shipping timeframe will be displayed at checkout during the open sale."
The OnePlus 2 sports a phablet-sized 5.5inch IPS 1080p display, up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.

The smartphone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor and a large 3300mAh battery.
A fingerprint scanner has been added to the device, which can store up to five different users' prints and promises to unlock the phone is "less than half a second."
OnePlus has had a huge amount of success with its new smartphone – after receiving 1.5 million invitation within the first 72 hours.
But the firm has struggled to fulfil the incredible demand for its new smartphone.
OnePlus has already delayed the new devices' release in the United States and Canada following trouble with the supply chain.
Co-founder Carl Pei wrote a frank apology to fans of the firm.
"We messed up the launch of the OnePlus 2," Mr Pei wrote in a company blog post.
