OnePlus has just announced a brand new Lava Red colour variant of the OnePlus 5T. The recently announced flagship smartphone is currently available in only a Midnight Black colour, but the OnePlus fans in China can cheer that OnePlus introduced a new colour in its homeland. Currently, it is unknown when or whether will OnePlus launch the new colour option in other regions.
But if OnePlus launch the Lava Red colour option in its popular markets such as India and the US, it will be a great deal for the consumers looking out for a different colour version of the smartphone. The OnePlus 5T in Lava Red colour looks gorgeous.
Other than the colour, the specifications of the smartphone remain the same. The 5T is also priced at 2999 Yuan in the Chinese market, which is similar to the standard Midnight colour 5T.

As a matter of fact, OnePlus' parent company, Oppo also has the Red colour variant of the Oppo R11S, which looks strikingly similar to the OnePlus 5T Lava Red colour.
Priced at Rs 32,999 and Rs 37,999 for the 6GB and 8GB RAM variants, the 5T is one of the best affordable smartphones you can purchase in the market right now.
