OnePlus 3T Midnight Black will go on sale in India on March 31 at 4PM. The smartphone is priced at Rs 34,999 and will be available from the OnePlus store.
OnePlus has finally added a matte black colour option to its OnePlus 3T smartphone. As expected, the Chinese hardware startup has announced a new OnePlus 3T Midnight Black variant with a matte black finish. The handset is similar to the previously announced OnePlus 3T colette edition, but lacks the colette engraving. Oneplus says this new black variant will be available in limited numbers but the limit has not been disclosed.
OnePlus claims to have been working on a black colour variant for "close to a year now" and it took over 30 variations to reach the all-black design. "This limited edition of the OnePlus 3T is hewed out of the same space-grade aluminum that lent the original OnePlus 3 and 3T devices their class and durability. A dark coating of just 14 microns in thickness is meticulously applied to the surface of the phone, imbuing the device with a stunning black color built to last," the company said in its blog post.
As far as hardware specs are concerned, the handset doesn't differ much from its existing variants. It offers a 5.5-inch full HD AMOLED display, 6GB RAM and Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 chipset. The Midnight Black colour variant will only be offered in 128GB storage option. The smartphone sports a 16MP front and rear camera and runs OxygenOS with an update to Android 7.1.1 Nougat. The smartphone also comes with a 3400mAh battery along with support for dash charging.
While the matte black colour certainly looks good, the company is adding a cautionary note that "micro-abrasions may result from regular use without a protective case." OnePlus 3T Midnight Black edition goes on sale internationally on March 24 via Hypebeast starting at 4PM GMT. In India, the smartphone will be available on March 31 at 4PM on the company's e-store. It is not clear whether the handset will also be made available on Amazon India. The handset will retail for Rs 34,999, same as the regular gunmetal variant.
