Here’s what the OnePlus 6 x Marvel Avengers Limited Edition phone looks like

After OnePlus confirmed the arrival of the Avengers-themed OnePlus 6, we get the first look at the device through this video teaser for its release. From the looks of it, it’s going to be exclusively released in India through Amazon. It’s coming on May 17 in the said country. The teaser, aside from showing clips from the movie, shows the OnePlus 6 with its 19:9 display and notch, rounded edges, and a new location for the Alert Slider on the right side of the phone. OnePlus in India is hosting an event for fans, too, for this release. There doesn’t seem to be any indication at the moment that the phone will make its way out of the country. But if it did, is it something you’d want to get?

OnePlus 6 ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ edition seems to be happening

With the promotions for Avengers: Infinity War in full swing, news surrounding the big Marvel movie are abundant. One of the latest reports from Deadline report about the advertising campaign and partnerships Marvel is involved in to promote the film (which it claims is the “biggest advertising campaign yet” for Marvel). One of the brands mentioned is OnePlus and the supposed release of the OnePlus 6 Avengers edition in the UK. It says the unit will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, 256GB of storage, 8GB of RAM. The report suggests it’s coming out just in the UK but when the teaser leaked, it came from India. Perhaps the phone will be limited to certain regions? We can’t say just yet. We’re keeping our eyes peeled for updates.

Are we getting an ‘Avengers’-themed OnePlus 6?

Last year, OnePlus drew attention for its Star Wars-branded OnePlus 5T. And it looks like they might try this again with another Disney-owned title: Avengers. A video got posted on OnePlus India’s Facebook page that showed a teaser of OnePlus and Avengers logo. It seems to have been wrongfully published as it was taken down soon after. It hints though that the OnePlus 6 might be heading our way sooner than we think with Avengers: Infinity War heading to theatres this April 27. Perhaps OnePlus will use this opportunity to launch its newest flagship? We can’t say just yet. We also can’t tell whether this will be another India exclusive or it’ll get a wider release. We have a few more weeks before we find out. But we’re keeping our eyes peeled.

Some of the rumoured specs of the next OnePlus flagship include Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, up to 8GB of RAM, and 256GB storage. It’ll have a notch and may get different finishes for the back.
