As teased last week, OnePlus has officially launched the Red edition of OnePlus 6 in India. The smartphone comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The phone will be available for buying for a price tag of Rs 39,999. Interested consumers will be able to purchase the OnePlus 6 Red edition phone starting July 16 in India. OnePlus is yet to reveal their e-commerce partner for the OnePlus 6 Red edition.

The new OnePlus 6 Red edition features an amber-like effect. OnePlus has used optical coating, evaporative film, and six panels of glass to build the OnePlus 6 Red edition. An added anti-reflective layer has also been used in designing the OnePlus 6 Red so that more light can reach the bottom layers of glass before being reflected off the device to create a sense of depth. "A translucent orange layer intermixes with the red base layer to achieve a radiant glossy red, unique to OnePlus," says OnePlus.

"We believe power and attitude can be both elegant and humble, and we have strived to achieve this with the OnePlus 6 Red Edition," says Pete Lau, CEO and Founder, OnePlus. "We worked to avoid an overly bright red color while still capturing a sense of self-confidence and positivity. Achieving the amber-like effect took several months to refine and perfect."

The OnePlus 6 Red edition boasts of a metallic red shimmer coupled with the red, mirror-like fingerprint sensor and silver camera lens accent.

OnePlus claims that OnePlus 6 is the fastest selling device in the company's history. OnePlus says that within 22 days of the launch of the phone, one million OnePlus 6 phones were sold. The company believes that the new OnePlus 6 Red edition will be "another great choice for users around the world."
