Remember when OnePlus One was introduced last year, it stirred the mobile market like a storm. And we thought it would happen again with the OnePlus 2. However, things did not seem to happen that way. The OnePlus team has had a harder time mainly because of the OnePlus 2 launch and selling method.

We also thought they would give up, but with the information appearing these days, perhaps OnePlus will once again join the competition with a mid-range phone called OnePlus X. Moreover, we are aware that they recently have enabled those without invites to buy a OP2 and launched a new contest where people can give their Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 edge, S6 edge+, or Samsung Galaxy Note 5 to the company in order to take a free OnePlus 2 in return. But, it is important to note that OnePlus has promised to donate those phones to a charitable organization called Hope Phones, helping bring medical tech to where it is needed.

Although their intention is good, honestly, we do not think it works. Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 edge, S6 edge Plus and Note 5 cost much more than OnePlus 2. And it is not 100% sure that whoever donates will be able to get an OP2 back since OnePlus advertised it as a contest, only shipping 50 units in total and picking the winner randomly. Then, how can people feel like participating in?

To recap, we can see that OnePlus is trying their best to draw more people’s attention to their smartphones. Nevertheless, we also have a feeling that the contest cannot make it. Do you agree?
