Want to buy the OnePlus 6 as soon as possible in the US? You'll have to visit these locations

The OnePlus 6 will be officially announced on May 16, but that's not when the new flagship phone goes on sale. Fortunately, though, OnePlus won't take its sweet time to release the handset, and you'll be able to buy the device as early as May 21. However, to actually get your hands on a OnePlus 6 on May 21, you will have to attend one of the special pop-up events that OnePlus has scheduled for that day.

In the US, only two pop-up events will be organized - in New York and San Francisco. OnePlus says that, if you visit any of these events, you'll be able to buy your OnePlus 6 "before anyone else" - so it's pretty clear that the phone won't go on sale before May 21.

Here's exactly where and when OnePlus' upcoming US events will take place:

Similar events will be organized on May 21 in Western and Northern Europe - in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. A full list of locations is available at OnePlus' official website via the source link below.  

OnePlus has yet to reveal the price of the OnePlus 6, but rumors have it that the handset could cost at least $500, thus becoming the company's most expensive phone to date. Considering all the features that the OnePlus 6 is expected to offer, that should still be an attractive price.
