The OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition comes bearing the signature Papaya Orange McLaren highlights around the bottom edge of the device before fading into the black. OnePlus has also launched a new OnePlus charging stand.
OnePlus has finally unveiled the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition with 10GB RAM at an event in Woking, UK. The OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition is priced at £649 (Rs 58,828 directly converted) and is the only variant of the smartphone which comes with 10 gigs of RAM. The USP of the device is its design, which has been inspired by McLaren cars and the automotive brand’s signature colours. Taking this into account, the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition features Papaya Orange McLaren highlights around the bottom edge of the device. These highlights fade into black when the phone is viewed at an angle. OnePlus says that the pattern underneath the glass back of the device is based on McLaren’s groundbreaking carbon fiber used in McLaren cars since 1981.
Another first for the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition is a new tech called Warp Charge 30. Playing on its tagline of speed and given McLaren’s partnership, OnePlus has introduced the long rumoured Warp Charge 30 tech on this special edition smartphone. With Warp Charge 30, OnePlus claims that users can charge their OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition phone for one full day in just 20 minutes. OnePlus says that the 3700mAh battery on the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition charges to 50 percent in 20 minutes, but if that is enough for a day's worth of usage, is something we will have to test.
Describing Warp Charge 30, OnePlus said, “Charge 30 takes fast charging to new heights and never leaves people wanting, offering a day’s power in just 20 minutes. Thanks to new Integrated Circuits in both the charger and the phone, as well as finely tuned power management software, 30 watts of power flow to the handset without slowing down even when the device is being used, or generating excessive heat.”
Alongside the 30W Warp Charging tech, OnePlus has also introduced a new charging stand. The Warp Charge 30 power unit is combined with a Papaya Orange braided cord cable.
What’s more is that the new phone also features exclusive software animations, tuned to McLaren’s unique style and history.
