The highly anticipated OnePlus 5 flagship smartphone launches today and goes on sale in Canada for a cost starting at $649.
That’s right, following months of hype the OnePlus 5 (or OP5) is finally here and it’s one of the hottest new Android smartphones on the market.
OnePlus also has a referral program where anyone who owns a OnePlus 5 can earn 200 referral points for each friend they refer. Whoever purchases a OnePlus 5 through said referral link will also receive a $30 CAD credit that can be used towards purchasing mobile accessories.
Although at this time there is no mention of any Canadian carriers planning on carrying the OnePlus 5, the device is compatible with all major Canadian networks such as Freedom Mobile’s AWS-3 LTE network for example and can be purchased directly from the OnePlus online store. Up until June 27 when the smartphone will be available to all consumers, you’ll need to enter a special code “Clearer Photos” which was unveiled during today’s unveiling livestream.
