OnePlus 2 64GB edition now available for purchase in US and EU via third-party e-tailers without invites

After multiple unofficial sources opened orders for the next-gen OnePlus 2 16GB variant, the 64GB edition of the smartphone can also now be procured through third-party e-tailers. Typically, the OnePlus invite system leads to a potentially long wait for prospective buyers as there is increased demand for invites each time a new smartphone goes up for sale.

Currently, buyers of the 64GB OnePlus 2 can check out GearBest (a third-party e-tailer) which is claiming to ship the smartphone for free internationally. The handset is priced at $416 (£271).

GearBest is also claiming to ship orders within one-two business days. Customers preferring to order the smartphone through the e-tailer are advised to exercise caution and cross check the payment mechanism before placing orders. The network compatibility of the smartphone depends on local wireless service providers, which varies based on geography.
