OnePlus 6 becomes Chinese smartphone maker’s fastest-ever seller as people turn on to design

The Chinese brand, whose overseas sales are more than double those in its domestic market, is seeking to gain recognition among Silicon Valley

The latest 6-series flagship model from five-year-old smartphone maker OnePlus has become its most popular phone ever, selling more than one million units globally in the three weeks since it hit shelves last month.

OnePlus 6 has become the company’s fastest-selling smartphone after crossing the one million benchmark in 22 days, comfortably beating earlier OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T models, which both achieved sales of a million units about three months after launch, the Shenzhen-based company said in a press release on Friday.
