OnePlus and McLaren have joined forces to create a limited edition smartphone that takes its cues from the iconic automotive brand and now the phone is finally here, packing in a few cosmetic changes that differentiate it from its predecessors but also a few surprises.
What makes this smartphone stand out, you ask?
For one thing: the design. While it’s made of the same materials as the regular OnePlus phones, the McLaren Edition comes in the McLaren signature Papaya Orange color that has been integrated into the design, alongside a carbon fiber pattern on the back.
It features almost the same specs as the other OnePlus phones but what makes this one special is the fact that it has 10GB of RAM with 256GB worth of storage, which makes it, according to OnePlus, the first phone released globally that will have 10GB of memory.
In addition to that, the handset also has something called a Warp Charge 30 – that is OnePlus’ way of saying that phone features 30W fast charging technology. That translates in a full day’s power in only 20 minutes. According to OnePlus, this speedy charging feature is aided by improvements in keeping the phone cool not only while it’s charging but also it it’s being used at the same time.
The phone will become available in North America and Western Europe on December 13th and it will be the company’s most expensive smartphone to date, with a price of $699.
OnePlus and McLaren have agreed to a long-term partnership, so this is definitely not the last time we’ll be hearing from them.
