The good part here is that the said individuals get the OnePlus 6 before launch, being some of the first people in the world to review the phone. As part of the Lab program, once you receive the device, you will be able to publish a hands-on video and an in-depth review of the OnePlus 6, influencing the decision of thousand other OnePlus fans. Once the reviews are done, you get to keep the device and call it your own. You will need to submit an application form to be a part of the Lab program, the submission for which is open until May 3, 7:30 AM IST. Of all the submissions, only 15 people will be selected to review the OnePlus 6 ahead of its launch.
Surprisingly, the terms and conditions for the Lab program are simple and straightforward and are listed below:
