OnePlus announces McLaren partnership, teases special smartphone release

OnePlus and McLaren Automotive and McLaren Racing have just announced a partnership that the two brands will launch on December 11. What this new team-up could mean is we get a special edition version of the OnePlus 6T, bearing design elements inspired by the automotive company. With the timing of the announcement and event, and that the original landing page for the partnership having the phrase mclaren-6t in its URL, we’re expecting the said limited edition device to come out. What we’ve seen from the other tech and car company collaborations are that these devices are going to have maxed out specs with rather exorbitant price tags.

This is the first partnership OnePlus has done, it’s partnered with the likes of Parisian retailer Colette for the 3T x Colette 20^th Anniversary Edition, designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac for the OnePlus 5 x JCC+ Limited Edition, Lucasfilm for the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition, and Marvel Studios for the OnePlus 6 x Marvel Avengers Limited Edition. The wait isn’t going to be that long to find out what OnePlus and McLaren have up its sleeves. The current version of the OnePlus 6T has a 6.41-inch full-HD+ Optic AMOLED display with 1,080 x 2,340 pixels and a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. It runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, 6GB/8GB of RAM, 128GB/256GB internal storage, and has a dual camera setup in the back with a 16-megapixel primary sensor and 20-megapixel secondary shooter.
