OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition, OnePlus 6 Marvel Avengers Edition, OnePlus 5T Star Wars Edition: What Are The Differences?

OnePlus has been consolidating its brand in the market as the flagship killer. From its first handset, the Chinese phone maker has been delivering top specifications at a lower cost in comparison with the flagships from Apple, LG, Samsung and also others. And OnePlus has launched some special editions of its handsets, by adding a unique touch of feel and look to them.

The latest attempt of OnePlus is the McLaren Edition of its OnePlus 6T and the design of that edition mostly came from the MCL33 2018 Formula 1 car. This is not the first special edition handset as OnePlus already released the Avenger Edition of OnePlus 6 and Star Wars Edition of OnePlus 5T before that. But what are the differences in terms of design between these special models and regular OnePlus handsets?

OnePlus 5T Star Wars Edition

This is the first special edition that OnePlus has made. In terms of specifications, it had the same specs as the OnePlus 5T, which were a Snapdragon 835 chipset, dual cameras on the rear, a 16MP front-facing camera and so on.

The is edition also comes with 8GB RAM/128GB storage. And as it is a Star Wars Edition, the handset’s metal frame is painted with Star Wars and Lucasfilm logo at its bottom half on the back.

The phone also packed a hard case with the logo of Star Wars on it. Other notable changes included red colour dash to the Alert Slider, UI accents with red colour and dark theme. The handset’s price was Rs. 38,999.

OnePlus 6 Marvel Avengers Edition

This OnePlus 6 Marvel Avengers Edition hardly had any difference in design from the OnePlus 6, but it had some interesting finishing touches. The device had a glass back with a Kevlar finish and also a logo of the Avengers in gold colour at the bottom of the phone. There was also a thick rubber case with the logo of Iron Man carved out on its case.

The device’s packing box also included a Golden badge which could get users a gift from OnePlus if they managed to gather all of them. There were some software tweaks on the phone such as wallpapers of the Avengers Infinity.
