OnePlus 5 will be available offline in Croma Stores from September 19

OnePlus started to sell its products in India through online channels exclusively on Amazon India, followed by Flipkart. It also opened eStore in the country as well. However, to tap offline customers, OnePlus opened its first physical experience stores in Delhi and Bengaluru earlier this year, where customer could physically experience OnePlus products, but not purchase them.
