OnePlus recently posted a teaser trailer featuring the red edition of its OnePlus 6 device. This device will debut across all of the OnePlus global markets and you will be able to order it next week on July 10th. OnePlus decided to make a red edition of the OnePlus 6 due to the success of the OnePlus 5T Lava Red.

“Deciding on this color was not without its challenges. We see individual colors as a way to express certain feelings or ideas. To us, red exudes enthusiasm and personality,” said OnePlus in a forum post. “It also represents an inner confidence and courage. There is a kind of power in red, which the OnePlus logo has always tried to articulate. We hope you feel similarly empowered when you hold the OnePlus 6 Red this summer.”

What made the red edition of the OnePlus 6 unique is that OnePlus uses a new film coating process that was never attempted before in the smartphone industry. And to maintain a bright coating, OnePlus’ design team included an “evaporated layer of brightening film that cost around $5 to make crystal clear. The result is a sizeable glossy, transparent layer over the red coating.”
