OnePlus 8 series sale schedule altered, special limited sale announced

OnePlus has announced that its sales plan for the new OnePlus 8 series has been altered, after production for the handsets was halted temporarily last week. Instead of the new devices going on sale from May 29, there will now be a special limited sale through online and offline channels for only the OnePlus 8 at 12PM on the same date, with limited stocks available. Reports speculate the postponement is due to the halting of production at the Oppo manufacturing plant in Greater Noida after 6 workers there tested positive for Covid-19. The new OnePlus devices were reportedly being assembled at the same location, causing disrupted production.
