Ring in Christmas with a new 'Lava Red' OnePlus 5T

OnePlus 5T is a great phone with a 6-inches Optic AMOLED display, powerful Snapdragon 835 processor, and dual rear cameras at half the price of its rivals. But now the smartphone is getting another boost with a limited edition Lava Red color variant.

OnePlus' latest flagship has got a 'Lava Red' color option in China alongside the original 'Midnight Black' option that was launched earlier this month.

The Lava Red variant of the OnePlus 5T is currently visible on OnePlus' China site, with a starting price tag of CNY 2,999, which is identical to the price of its 'Midnight Black' model. Notably, it is not listed on the Buy page yet.

Besides the color, everything remains the same as the Black model. The smartphone  features a 6.01-inch FHD+ Optic AMOLED display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. OnePlus 5T is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC and runs on OxygenOS 4.7.1 layered atop Android 7.1.1 Nougat.

In terms of optics, it sports a dual rear camera setup with 16 megapixel+20 megapixel sensors and both come with same f/1.7 aperture lens and 27.22mm focal length. Then there is a 16-megapixel front-facing camera with f/2.0 aperture. The phone is backed by a 3,300 mAh battery and supports Dash Charging facility.

Notably,this isn't the first time when OnePlus has opted a new color option for its flagship model. The Shenzhen-based company launched the OnePlus 3 Red colour variant last year. It also launched a limited edition OnePlus 5 Soft Gold variant in India earlier this year.
