OnePlus 6T Thunder Purple color variant announced in India, available from November 16


After introducing  the OnePlus 6T Thunder Purple color variant in China earlier this month, OnePlus today announced that it will be coming to India starting November 16, 2018. The special edition comes with a gradient back that fades from black to purple under the frosted glass-backed OnePlus 6T, with the evocative ‘S’ curve racing across the back and highlighting the depth of colour. 

OnePlus said that it has paid meticulous attention to detail to craft the perfect look, with a focus on how light reacts to the glass’ haze, roughness, gloss, transparency and reflective qualities.

Other specifications are similar, including a 6.41-inch Optic AMOLED display with 86% screen-to-body ratio, Snapdragon 845 Mobile Platform with up to 8GB of RAM, dual rear camera setup with a 16-megapixel rear camera and 20-megapixel secondary camera, 16-megapixel Sony IMX 371 sensor on the front, Nightscape mode that can recognize night scenes to deliver brighter, more vivid images with more clarity and less noise, in-display fingerprint sensor and a 3700mAh battery.

Pete Lau, Founder and CEO, OnePlus, said:

The OnePlus 6T Thunder Purple is a stunning combination of power and beauty – the black-to-purple fade is like a thunderstorm on a summer night. We experimented extensively to test how light interacts with the colours in order to give people what might just be our most beautiful design yet.
