After announcing the new Amber Red variant, Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus 6 is offering discounts on current models.
OnePlus is giving away Rs 2,000 instant cash discount to purchases made on HDFC credit and debit cards. But, there's a catch. This offer can be availed only if the customers purchase the device via EMI option on Amazon and is valid till July 15.
Is OnePlus 6 a worthy buy?
Absolutely yes! OnePlus 6 comes with latest and powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 octa-core found in premium flagships including Samsung's Galaxy S9 series and yet cost almost half what the former charges.
Except for the iPhone X-like notch design, the build quality and camera hardware are of good quality. It also boasts Dash Charge battery technology, which allows the device to get charged from zero to 63-percent in just 30 minutes, making OnePlus 6 stand out among rivals.
OnePlus 6 flaunts a 6.2-inch full HD+ (2160x1080p) screen with 19:9 aspect ratio. It features Apple iPhone-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 OS and a 3,300mAh battery with new Dash Charge technology. It also supports Bluetooth v5.0, NFC (Near Field Communication) and other standard connectivity features.
In a related development, OnePlus is releasing a new OnePlus 6 Red (with 8GB RAM+ 128GB storage) will be available for Rs 39,999 in India from July 16 onward.
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.
The company 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.
