Update: Looks like there was some freebies-related confusion on @evleak's end. As per the update provided by him, buyers will have the option of either going for a 256GB card + wireless charger or 360 cam.

CORRECTION: the options are as follows

1. 256GB card + wireless charger
2. 360 cam

Sorry for the confusion. https://t.co/Db42n4kVCf
