OnePlus just made official a new color variant for its current flagship: the OnePlus 6. The new color will simply be called Red. It takes off from the popularity of the Lava Red edition of the OnePlus 5T but the company wanted it to be “passionate with a level of visual restraint.” According to OnePlus, it wants the quality to be similar to amber but have “an enduring appeal that will last for years to come.”
Using a new film coating process, OnePlus was able to achieve that “amber-like depth and clarity.” The company also made use of a new evaporated layer of brightening film to get that glossy transparent layer over the red coating. This new color option will be exclusive to the 8GB/128GB variant but will carry the same $769 price tag as the other color options. It’ll be available in all markets where OnePlus phones are sold starting July 10.
