OnePlus has partnered with McLaren F1, creating the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition. With 10GB of RAM and all the usual top-level hardware, this new flagship killer comes with some new design touches. Here’s absolutely everything you need to know about the new OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition.<\/b>
\nOnePlus has teamed up with automotive brand and F1 racing team McLaren to launch a collaborative smartphone. Its latest model, the OnePlus 6T, was just revealed in October, but OnePlus has partnered with brands, artists, and companies in the past to produce special limited edition versions of its smartphone. So what makes the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition special? Here\u2019s what you need to know.
The OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition will borrow heavily from the style of the OnePlus 6T, but there are some cosmetic differences between the two phones. The back of the McLaren Edition will emulate the look of McLaren\u2019s ground-breaking carbon fiber with a carbon fiber-style appearance. There\u2019s another nod to McLaren\u2019s heritage as well, with an orange line flowing along the bottom of the phone\u2019s rear. It\u2019s colored in Papaya Orange \u2014 McLaren\u2019s signature color. Right down at the base of the phone, you\u2019ll find McLaren\u2019s logo.
Little has changed around the front, and you\u2019ll find the OnePlus 6T\u2019s huge bezel-less 6.41-inch AMOLED screen, and the distinctive teardrop notch. The in-display fingerprint scanner is here too, and buyers will get some unique wallpapers and a special start-up animation too.
It wouldn\u2019t be a McLaren without some power and speed, right? The OnePlus 6T is no slouch in the power department, with the Snapdragon 845 and 8GB of RAM. OnePlus isn\u2019t able to top the Snapdragon 845\u2026 yet. But it can boost performance by crammed in yet more RAM. The McLaren Edition sports a huge 10GB of RAM, meaning this phone should have no problem switching between apps or handling the most intensive of games.
That\u2019s backed up by the huge hard drive, too. There\u2019s 256GB of storage crammed into the McLaren Edition, and though you won\u2019t find any MicroSD expansion, you\u2019re unlikely to need that much extra space anyway.
There haven\u2019t been any major changes made to the camera in the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition, so you can expect to find the same camera suite as the OnePlus 6T. That means a primary 16-megapixel camera with an f\/1.7 aperture and optical image stabilization, and a second 20-megapixel lens with the same aperture, plus another 16-megapixel lens around the front for selfies.
Lamborghini\u2019s partnership with Oppo \u2014 a firm closely related to OnePlus \u2014 resulted in the Lamborghini Edition of the Oppo Find X, the first to feature Oppo\u2019s incredibly fast Super VOOC charging system, which takes a flat battery to 100 percent in less than 35 minutes. In a similar fashion, the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition is packing a new version of Warp Charge: Warp Charge 30.
Warp Charge 30 works in a similar way to Super VOOC charging, but it\u2019s even faster, promising to deliver a day\u2019s worth of power (around 50 percent) in just 20 minutes. That\u2019s possible because of the sheer power on display here \u2014 the charger the phone comes with packs a whopping 3oW of power, and that\u2019s managed with an intricate system of cooling that ensures the phone doesn\u2019t overheat during charging.
The OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition will be available in the U. S. and Europe from December 13, from OnePlus\u2019 website. In line with OnePlus\u2019s own pricing structure, you won\u2019t have to pay a ridiculous amount for the phone \u2014 at $699 it\u2019s only a little more expensive than the highest spec OnePlus 6T.
