OnePlus start-up manufacturer from China haven't been a successful electronics company when it comes to the consumer availability of their lately announced smartphone, OnePlus One. The phone was announced back in April, where the company is still facing unknown issues in shortage of supplies and delays in shipments, where it is really difficult to find the new device, OnePlus One in the common market.
Accordingly, it have been really tough to get hold on to their smartphone, as you can only buy the OnePlus One in couple of methods from their official webpage, that is by asking someone who has already bought the phone for an invite, which is like, when you purchase a OnePlus One CyanogenMod running smartphone, you will be receiving invites to give to your friends and relatives. The other way is by entering in several contests and promotional events hosted in their forums, social media channels and also by their partners and friends. Well, but if you have kept an eye on our Blog in the past, you can also grab the device from Chinese online retailer, oppomart, who ships the smartphone worldwide, costing $399.00 for the Silk White 16 GB model and $499.00 for the Sandstone Black 64 gigs version.
Lamentably, that's not what we are talking about here, but it's about the smartphone's removable back panels. At OnePlus One's announcement, the manufacturer had promised us to feature personalized textured backs that basically replaces the stock material with Bamboo, Wood, Denim and Kevlar, something Motorola had done in the past with their Moto X devices. After couple of months, yesterday the company seems to be teasing an arrival of "KNOCK ON WOOD" on OnePlus's official Twitter account. We see the numbers "7.22", which likely hints an unveiling on 22nd of this month from the Chinese people, tag lining the tweet as, "Wood you like to know more? 7.22".
