As hinted in the last week's teaser, OnePlus pulled the wraps off the new OnePlus 6 Red edition and will be available across global regions later this month.
The new Crimson-hued OnePlus 6 looks stunning and visually appealing. It boasts amber-like effect created through expert craftsmanship and material design, the company claims.
To attain the perfect red colour, OnePlus said it used a never-done-before technique, which utilizes optical coating, evaporative film, and six panels of glass. An added anti-reflective layer was incorporated to allow more light to reach the bottom layers of glass before being reflected off the device, creating a sense of depth. A translucent orange layer intermix with the red base layer to achieve a radiant glossy red, unique to OnePlus.
OnePlus has also given quite a good attention to detail in terms of other aspects of the devices including the metallic red shimmer coupled with the red, mirror-like fingerprint sensor that elegantly contrasts with the silver camera lens accent.
"We believe power and attitude can be both elegant and humble, and we have strived to achieve this with the OnePlus 6 Red Edition. We worked to avoid an overly bright red colour while still capturing a sense of self-confidence and positivity. Achieving the amber-like effect took several months to refine and perfect," Pete Lau, CEO and Founder, OnePlus, said in a statement.
Except for the scarlet shade, the design language and the internal hardware will remain same as the other OnePlus 6 variants.
OnePlus 6 flaunts a 6.2-inch full HD+ (2160x1080p) screen with 19:9 aspect ratio. It features Apple iPhone X-like notch on top of the display, which houses a 20MP sensor with face unlock capability.
On the rear side, OnePlus 6 sports a glass cover on top of the metallic shell with the special coating on top to sustain accidental water splashes and also the mild rains.
It features rear dual-camera 16MP+20MP with an F1.7 aperture in the centre and a fingerprint sensor below it for easy access to the finger to unlock screen and also act as a shutter button to take a selfie.
Other stipulated specifications include 6GB/8GB RAM, 64GB/128GB/256GB storage, Android Oreo-based OxygenOS 5.1, a 3,300mAh battery with new Dash Charge technology and support Bluetooth v5.0, NFC (Near Field Communication) and other standard connectivity features.
Prior to the Red edition announcement, OnePlus 6 was available in four colours—Mirror black, Midnight black, Silk white and Marvel Avengers edition with a smoothly textured shell (not available anymore).
