Anyone hoping to buy their own OnePlus 5T smartphone in the U.S. is currently out of luck. The company just announced that the handset is now out of stock in the North American market and it has no plans to replenish the supplies. It seems the demand for the unit was higher than expected. Customers who want their own OnePlus phones will need to wait for the updated version coming this year.
OnePlus North American General Manager Kyle Kiang confirmed the news to Engadget, noting that there will no longer be any supplies of the 5T coming to the North American market. They really are all gone, save for the few smaller stores out there that still have a few units of the handsets to sell.
What’s really surprising about this development is the fact that the 5T has only been in the market for four months. This is a testament to the quality of the product and the positive reception of OnePlus by U.S. consumers.
More tangible proofs of the success that the company is seeing in the west are the revenue boost it saw last year at $1.4 billion. The U.S. now makes up 25 percent of the total online sales of OnePlus and it saw a 139 percent growth in North America.
For now, the only thing that U.S. customers can do is wait for the next flagship phone that OnePlus is scheduled to release in late Q2 of 2018, ZDNet reports. Once it does, however, interested buyers might want to get a unit for themselves.
OnePlus is known for producing only enough numbers of the device as forecasted. After that, production stops except for special circumstances. This method appears to have worked wonders for the startup since it has been seeing steady growth in the mobile market since launching its first handset.
