Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus has used its invite-only system for all of its phones. After a little over three months, the OnePlus X is available without an invite.

OnePlus is removing the invite requirement to purchase a OnePlus X smartphone after 92 days, Tech Radar reports. The first OnePlus model took 362 days before it dropped the invite requirement.

Fastest Release to the Public

This is the quickest time frame that OnePlus has allowed one of their phones to go on sale without an invite. The invite system is annoying for most potential buyers, but OnePlus says it is necessary to ramp up demand for the phones. OnePlus says with the invite-only system, it shows that OnePlus phones are exclusive and it helps the company keep up with supplying the phones based on demand.

"We're extremely excited to be making the OnePlus X invite-free more quickly this time around. With every device we release, we grow more mature and more adept at handling the demands and expectations of our community. We largely owe our success to your unrelenting support, so we hope that this development will make the process of purchasing your very own OnePlus X as smooth and effortless as it can possibly be," OnePlus said in a blog post Thursday.

Low Price and Pure Android OS

There are two main advantages to OnePlus phones, their low price and the pure and open version of Android used by the phones called Oxygen OS. The OnePlus X can be purchased without an invite for $249, directly from OnePlus.

OnePlus is not the only affordable Chinese smartphone maker offering an Android phone. Huawei, Xiaomi and ZTE are making their push into Europe and the United States and could force OnePlus to reevaluate their invite-only system.

"We're always looking for ways to adapt the invite system to get more phones in more people's hands," said a OnePlus spokesman.

Invite-Free for the OnePlus 3?

Now that OnePlus has released three phones (the OnePlus One, the OnePlus 2 and the OnePlus X), the company has developed a reputation and history. It is possible the OnePlus 3, which is expected later this year, could go invite-free right when it is released.
