OnePlus 2 VR launch app goes live, Invite registration opens

OnePlus will announce the OnePlus 2 on July 27 at 7:00pm PT (July 28 7:30am  IST) in a world's first Virtual Reality launch. For this, the brand has also introduced its own VR Cardboard headset to experience the immersive affair.

Now, OnePlus has released the OnePlus 2 Launch VR app on Google Play Store. The app will be used to live stream the OnePlus 2 launch event. 

Notably, in case if you weren't able to grab OnePlus's VR headset, the brand is promising that the app will let you witness the launch event without the Cardboard. Unfortunately you will miss out on the visual effects. OnePlus also prompts you to use headphones for the best experience.

Product launches tend to be the same. An auditorium, a keynote, and a seated audience. For the OnePlus 2 launch, we didn’t want a barrier between us and our community; we want to invite you into our world, because you’re a major part of it. That is why we will be unveiling the OnePlus 2 in a VR experience. Starting July 27 at 7:00pm PST, everyone around the world can stream our launch.

OnePlus has also started taking registration for the OnePlus 2 and explains how the invitation process will work. OnePlus will first prioritise its loyal users (early forum users, early purchasers, most active OnePlus invite evangelists), while giving others a chance to win invite via contest or other means.

If you want to reserve a spot in the OnePlus Invite list head over to the OnePlus Invites website, scroll down and enter your email address. Notably the company says, everyone on the list will eventually receive an invite. The list will move on a first come first serve basis. Every day, the brand will evaluate their production and inventory situation to send out as many invites as possible. OnePlus has already announced that it will have about 30 to 50 time the number of invites  they had last year for OnePlus One.

As far as OnePlus 2 specs are concerned, OnePlus has already teased some of it. The OnePlus 2 will have Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 v2.1 SoC, 4GB LPDDR4 RAM, 3300mAh battery, USB Type-C port, fingerprint sensor, 4G LTE support and Dual-SIM. It runs Oxygen OS and is said to be priced around $450 ( Rs. 29,000).
