Chinese tech company OnePlus is on track of improving its after-sales service.

Users experiencing issues with their OnePlus smartphones could now ask the company to send its tech or engineer to visit them and repair their device. The Chinese smartphone maker says that it would have the service run for six months before finally making it official.

If you are interested in avail of the company’s service, you can apply through the OnePlus Care app. There are various time slots that you could schedule so the OnePlus engineer could visit your place. OnePlus also offers a free pick-up and drop off service, which is pretty convenient.

The company claims that it is the only brand offering an on-site doorstep repair service. But, global brands like RealMe and Xiaomi are also providing the same kind of service in India. Although both companies do not offer on-site repair, they offer pick-up and drop-off facilities for repairs and service.
