Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus has added a new Sandstone White color variant to their latest flagship, the OnePlus 5T. While this is just a new color option, it is significant as the device now comes with a new look.
The OnePlus 5T was initially launched in color options like the Midnight Black and Slate Grey. Then, the company introduced a Star Wars edition of the OnePlus 5T. After all these variants, a new Sandstone White color is the latest addition to the phone’s color palette.
