Before they can be put to rest though, lagging inventory has to go, and the only way to speed that process up is via promotions. Best Buy recently offered an impressive…

OnePlus targets 5 million sales by the year's end with two new smartphones

While some device manufacturers struggle for years in a row before selling their first million, it reportedly only took Chinese startup OnePlus 12 months to reach the vital sales milestone. And we don't mean 12 months from OnePlus One's commercial debut.

The affordable flagship Android saw daylight in June 2014, and by January 2015, it crossed one million unit shipments. The company…
