Not long after OnePlus launched the OnePlus 8 series comprising a vanilla 8 and an advanced 8 Pro, the brand has already sold a lot of phones. Despite the series featuring the highest ever prices that the brand has ever put on a phone, the entire ‘limited release’ stock of the series sold out in mere minutes.
In the US, all models of the OnePlus 8 series were sold out within 10 minutes of the brand opening the sale of the phone. This also includes all variants of the phones based on color or storage capacity. The sale almost felt like one of the Xiaomi phones going out on a flash sale in India.

It was not revealed how many units were sold in the limited release. However, it was likely a small number considering the phones were simply gone in minutes.
