OnePlus Offers 10% Discount To Students

Students need all the options to save money that they can get, which often involves having to skimp out on things that they might really want. For those who want the OnePlus 5, for example, spending upwards of $539 would be pushing it. The company knows this all too well, which is why it is now offering a 10 percent discount to customers who can prove that they are students.

The base price of the OnePlus 5, which is the newest smartphone by OnePlus starts at $479, NeoWin reports. This would be the 64GB model. For the 128GB version, customers would have to spend an extra $60. Yet, for a student who is currently struggling to get through college, this could mean the difference between being able to afford the phone or not.

Thanks to the student discount offer that slashes 10 percent off of the original prices of its phones, however, young technophiles will finally be able to afford the new phone if they want it. Of course, this would depend entirely on whether or not they actually know what the unit can offer. Unfortunately, reviews of the OnePlus 5 have raised some rather serious issues with the device.

With the latest updates to its software, the company has been fixing many of the problems that the OnePlus 5 came with during launch. One of these is the video stabilization fix for the 4K video recording using the device, The Verge reports. Now, users can record 4K videos with the device without inducing an epileptic shock.

It’s also worth noting that the discount only applies to the company’s web store. Students can’t avail of the discount if they went with carriers that are currently offering the device. On the other hand, qualifying for the discount is quite easy since students only need to present their school ID.
