Dear friends,
Thanks to our community, the early demand for OnePlus 8 Pro has been off the charts; however, we acknowledge the stock issues and would like to express regret towards everyone who has been waiting to purchase the device as the initial stock had been rapidly exhausted.
We wanted to give you an update and re-assure you that we are doing everything possible to try to get as many OnePlus 8 Pro out of the factory as soon as we can, but the manufacturing world is quite unforgiving when it comes to forecasting and parts supply, seeing some of the components taking weeks to show up from placing an order from the supplier.
What does this mean for those willing to purchase the device? That while we will soon have enough devices for everyone, our output is currently constrained by the lead time of certain components and how soon the devices can reach our warehouses in Europe.
Hence, in the interest of giving opportunity to everyone who has been waiting for OnePlus 8 Pro, we have decided to start weekly limited stock sale of the device, for a better user experience. Under this experience, we will try to have week’s worth production shipped on a regular basis to our European warehouses and define a day for everyone to have a fair chance to purchase our weekly limited stock.
Starting this week, we’ll be hosting flash sales* for the OnePlus 8 Pro 12+256 Glacial Green in all our European markets every Thursday at 10AM UK time (11AM in central Europe and noon in Finland).
We hope that this interim solution can help our community purchase the device of their choice, while we are working hard to get the OnePlus 8 Pro into the hands of every customer who wants one, as quickly as possible.
Ultramarine Blue is considered a limited Edition and will be making a special appearance for the first Flash Sale this Thursday 28th of May in all markets where it initially launched.
*Note: Flash sales are not flash deals, price remains the same.
EDIT: We are live! (Will update stock levels over here)
- UK/Ireland/Malta/Cyprus - already OOS, more coming next week at the same time.
- EU - OOS for Ultramarine Blue, we might have enough Glacial Green stock to last us up until the new stock arrives (YES!).
EDIT of the 3rd of June:
I hope everyone is ready for the Flash Sales of tomorrow, as last week, we'll be starting them at 11AM CEST (10AM BST, noon in Finland).
Essentially we'll have the OP8 Pro 12+256 Green for the UK, Ireland, Malta and Cyprus and the OP8 Pro 12+256 Blue for the other countries in Europe, since it looks like we've got enough shipments arriving to our EU warehouses to meet the current demand.
EDIT of the 4th of June at 10:50 CEST:
10 minutes to go, remember that the Flash Sales happen on our website -> oneplus.com
EDIT of the 4th of June at 11:00 CEST:
We are live!
EDIT of the 4th of June at 11:14 CEST:
- UK/Ireland/Malta/Cyprus - already OOS, more coming next week at the same time (we are bringing A LOT more stock for next week).
EDIT of the 10th of June:
For tomorrow at 10AM BST, 11AM CEST, noon in Finland, we've got many more stock coming for the UK, Ireland, Malta and Cyprus for the OP8 Pro Glacial Green (we expect black the following week).
On top of that, as you have probably seen, we seem to have a healthy level of stock for OP8 Pro in the other EU countries, but -as the e-mail you might receive this evening will say- we've also got -hopefully- enough stock to cover the current demand of Wireless Chargers for Europe (we're trying to bring also stock ASAP for the UK-plug countries). See you tomorrow!
EDIT of the 11th of June at 10AM BST:
We are live! -> oneplus.com
LAST EDIT of the 17th of June:
As of today, we've got all models of the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro back in stock in all warehouses.

Hi @David S. when is the Onyx Black OnePlus 8 Pro coming back in stock for the UK? I've been trying to buy it for the last few days but unavailable on OnePlus Store, Amazon UK, John Lewis.
The weekly flash sales on the OnePlus Store is a good idea but at least offer Onyx Black as a option in the weekly flash sales as not everyone wants the Glacial Green colour variant.
Plus bizarre how some European countries get the option of Ultra Marine Blue yet the UK doesn't. The colour's shouldn't be limited to certain regions, that's just losing sales bad business practice doing that.
