On 25 April 2014, OnePlus began its "Smash the Past"
campaign. The promotion asked selected participants to
destroy their phones on video in an effort to purchase
the OnePlus One for $1 (US). Due to confusion, several
videos were published by unselected users
misinterpreting the promotion and destroying their
phones before the promotion start date.
The campaign was heavily criticized for environmental
waste and safety concerns, due to batteries and phone
components posing potential hazards to participants
destroying their phones. OnePlus allowed the winners
to donate the old phone. There were 140,000 entrants
in the contest with 100 winners.
