The OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition comes with Warp Charge 30 technology and features the signature McLaren Papaya Orange colour accent around its bottom edge.
OnePlus announced its OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition smartphone globally on December 11 and it will be launched in India today. While the device's internals are almost the same, it features some enhancements and additions over the regular OnePlus 6T. A notable design change is the signature McLaren Papaya Orange colour accent, which wraps around the phone’s bottom edge, fading into the black glass panel. Additionally, the pattern underneath the glass rear panel of the device is said to be based on McLaren’s carbon fiber, which has been used in the automotive company’s cars since 1981. There’s also 10GB RAM to go with the tagline of speed and the company’s partnership with McLaren.
OnePlus is hosting the launch event for the McLaren edition of the 6T in Mumbai and it is slated to commence at 6 p.m. IST. The company is expected to stream the event live via its social media channels but there’s no live stream link for it up yet. We will update this article with the link when OnePlus posts the live stream details.
