Reporting previously on the OnePlus One smartphone, we mentioned that the company was offering the smartphone for just $1 (RM3.26) for those willing to smash their smartphones. While there were quite a few submissions for the OnePlus One "Smash the Past" contest, many of these people didn't read the fine print in that from those who submitted their names, only 100 contestants would be picked and only then they'd be required to upload said videos. Suffice to say, there have been quite a few uploaded videos of smashed smartphones. Considering the injuries that you can get from doing so (flying glass, exploding battery, etc.) OnePlus have since changed their contest where contestants who have been picked will have to donate their smartphones to Medic Mobile which sends these phones to mobile healthcare workers in rural areas. Of the 140000 entries, 100 winners will be contacted to donate their phones so do keep your phone well and safe before that happens.
