OnePlus teases new OnePlus 5T variant

The OnePlus 5T is already official with near bezel-less display and top-notch specs. Until now, you could grab the device in Midnight Black, Lava Red, and Star Wars Special Edition, but it seems that OnePlus is giving some fans a new option.

It looks like OnePlus is planning to launch a sandstone variant of the OnePlus 5T. OnePlus has posted a teaser video with a mysterious device hidden inside it. The video shows several people putting their hands inside the box, and few of them recognised a sandstone back.

With the OnePlus 5T, you get a 6.01-inch FHD Optic AMOLED 18:9 display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 6/8GB RAM, 64GB/128GB storage, 16MP + 20MP with f/1.7 aperture for the best low-light, zoom and anti-blur photos with enhanced image processing, 16MP front camera, 3300mAh battery with Dash Charge, and Android 7.1.1 Nougat.
