There had been considerable hype around the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition for many weeks and finally, all has been made official. The new smartphone variant is actually the outcome of a partnership between the premium automaker McLaren and OnePlus.

In terms of design, the McLaren Edition also has a different texture — carbon fiber weave — on the back with a signature McLaren orange color accent and the official McLaren logo.

Furthermore, the display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 6. This special variant will cost $699 dollars which is $70 more than the normal version.
The phone features a waterdrop-style notch, with an ambient light sensor, distance, and RGB sensor. The McLaren Edition is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC which is coupled with 10GB RAM. OnePlus has become the first company to offer 10 GB RAM handset to the global market. The battery capacity of 3700mAh keeps its lights on. Furthermore, this version is named Warp Charge 30. The OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition price in the UK is set at GBP 649 for the regular variant.
