#TakeTheEdgeOff campaigns gives Samsung owners to trade in for a OP2

Robin MaxwellOctober 14, 2015

The OnePlus 2 is a good phone, but OnePlus are so confident in the handset that they are allowing Samsung phone owners the chance to trade in (up?) to the OP2.

It’s a bold marketing, offering the OnePlus 2 as a trade in for a Samsung Edge device and it is already making headlines (as you can see), but other than clever marketing it really doesn’t seem like an offer anyone is ever going to accept.

While the OnePlus 2 is a good phone, it is also much cheaper than say the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. What are the chances that an owner of a more expensive phone are going to trade in for something cheaper, even if it does perform better.

In an attempt to convince Samsung owners to go for a OP2, OnePlus are saying that they will be donating all the Samsung trade ins to charity, but then again wouldn’t it be better just to give a bunch of OnePlus 2 phones away instead?

We doubt that there will be much of a demand to take part, but incase OnePlus have limited the number of participants to only 50, and are only allowing the offer until the 18th October. You can see more details in the terms and conditions.

‌

So more #hype from OnePlus, and were sure that isn’t the last of it.

W-T-F? Just who in their right mind would do that? I agree with Robin Maxwell why not Two phones?

I’m giving away a still sealed,brand new OnePlus 2!!!
All you have to do is to send me a new, still sealed iPhone 6s.
the best part of it is that i wont keep the phone, but I’ll sell it and with the money I’ll buy 2 new OnePlus 2.
one of them will be used to keep the loop going on, while the second one will be donated to all Gizchina readers.

OP, still shooting themselves in the foot. What happened to “learning to be humble”?

The phones are supposedly for charity but they *only* want substantially more expensive 2015 Samsung flagships? Why would one mobile phone company donate *a competitors* product to a charity? Why don’t they just donate 100 OnePlus Two’s to Hope Phones and call it a day? The whole thing seems very suspicious. I hope someone will follow-up and confirm OnePlus in-fact donates the flagship phones to Hope Phones otherwise this will be a new low for OnePlus.

Imagine if Samsung offers a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge for every OP2 trade in. And Samsung will donate all OP2 and equal amount of S6 Edge to a third world country. One Plus will close shop the next day. Killed by its own stupid arrogance.

  Oh. Just realized that it will not work. OP2 will be sold out overnight and OP will be freaky rich. Damn!

    No it wouldn’t be sold out. They have no phones 🙂 You need invitation, so they produce on demand 🙂
