OnePlus teases upcoming global flagship launch with free gifts and giveaways

OnePlus is having a busy Cyber Monday today (December 2, 2024) with deals such as OnePlus' current flagship the 12 starting at $549 and its high-end foldable smartphone the Open at $1,199, or $500 off its list price.

Meanwhile, the brand has also just announced that those premium devices' even more powerful successor the 13 will become available in all of its major markets outside China (India, Europe, the UK, US and Canada) "soon".

Those who buy the new Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered smartphone will be able to "bag" its vastly improved second-generation Watch as a free gift when it launches in the US, while those in the EU may be able to secure a Beosound Explore (a portable speaker possibly chosen as it has colorways that go with the new flagship smartphone's blue, black and silver options) from Bang & Olufsen valued at €249.

OnePlus has yet to specify exactly when those offers will come into effect, although it has revealed that the competition to win the Explorer Anniversary Calendar holiday it has arranged in Iceland for 1 lucky Europe-based winner valued at €29,000/£25,000 inclusive of activities such as whale-watching and snorkelling between tectonic plates is taking entries from now until January 7, 2025.

Then again, OnePlus will also celebrate its 11th Anniversary worldwide on December 16, 2024.
