OnePlus on Tuesday said it made a record sale of its newly-launched OnePlus 6 worth 100 crore within first 10 minutes of its preview sale on Amazon India and its own online store--oneplus.in.

Highlighting the enthusiasm of users in the country, Vikas Agarwal, General Manager, OnePlus India, told IANS, "We sold last year's flagship--OnePlus 5T worth 100 crore in an entire day of sale whereas this time we did the same in just 10 minutes."

The mirror black colour variant of OnePlus 6 saw a higher demand as compared to midnight black version of the device.

"OnePlus 6 is our best-ever smartphone and we knew that it will do well. The mirror black variant of OnePlus 6 was more in demand during the first sale," Aggarwal added.

In an attempt to let OnePlus enthusiasts and prospective buyers have the opportunity to be among the first ones to experience and purchase its newly-launched OnePlus 6, the smartphone maker on Monday launched a pop-up sale in eight cities across the country.

Unlike previous years, the company extended the pop-up sale to two days that let users get a hands-on experience of their latest flagship on a first-come-first-serve basis.

The smartphone is priced starting at 34,999 and is offered in three colour variants. OnePlus launched its flagship OnePlus 6 in India, a first in the OnePlus' line-up featuring an all-glass design last week.

The device will be available for open sales across all channels, starting May 22, in 6GB RAM+64GB storage and 8GB RAM+128GB options for 34,999 and 39,999, respectively.

"With the OnePlus 6, we challenged ourselves to deliver an external design as smooth and elegant as the work we've done inside the device," said OnePlus Founder and CEO Pete Lau.
