Midnight Black
The first colour option in which the phone was originally launched. With a deep black colour, it comes with a premium look and feel to it. This is the only colour option in the device that comes in both the storage variants i.e. 6GB/64GB and 8GB/128GB.
With the Midnight Black shade, the OnePlus 5T gives the sophisticated look of a premium device. It starts at a price of Rs. 32,999 and you can shop for the midnight black variant here.
Lava Red
The latest iteration of the OnePlus 5T comes in a bright and radiant Lava Red colour. With a bold presence, the phone in this colour sports a deep bright-red back and sides, with a shiny black finish to the front bezels.
With this colour variant, the volume rockers, lock button, and alert slider are also marked with the same deep red shade, giving a harmonious and premium finish. However, the OnePlus 5T Lava Red variant is available only in the 8GB/128GB configuration but is priced at the same Rs. 37,999 as the standard variant with same specifications. You can shop for this colour here.
Sandstone White
Another fine colour variant from the Chinese smartphone maker. The Sandstone White colour on the phone was labelled as ‘Classic Revisited’, which shows the old school approach of the company. With this colour, you don’t just get a sandstone white colour, but sandstone finish too. The alert slider on this variant is a bright red colour, which gives it a distinct look.
The device in this colour feels more grippy and textured to hold, which makes it more premium. However, you will need a case or cover to keep the phone clean, as the white finishing catches dust easily. This one too is available only in the 8GB/128GB configuration and is priced at roughly Rs. 35,400.
OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition
Launched as a tribute to the Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi, this OnePlus 5T was a limited edition design. With a Sandstone White finish, this variant has a ‘Star Wars’ branding at the back. Also, as an exclusive, it comes with pre-loaded Star Wars theme and wallpapers.
Also, you get a Kylo Ren helmet inspired protective cover with the phone. With only the 8GB/128GB option made available, the OnePlus 5T Star Wars edition is not available anymore. However, you may find used or refurbished devices if you are a star wars fan and missed the phone when it was out.
