OnePlus 6T Thunder Purple Release Date Confirmed

The OnePlus 6T is barely even out of the gate, and already we've got confirmation of a new incoming color. OnePlus has revealed that the "Thunder Purple" model, which was previously only available in China, will make its way to Europe and the US as well. Even better is that it'll be here before the week is out, so you won't have to wait very long to get your hands on one.

The arrival of a purple model is good news for anyone who wants a OnePlus 6T but doesn't want a black phone. The OnePlus 6T is currently only available in two colors – Midnight Black and Mirror Black – and while those look different enough, neither are particularly exciting. This new model, on the other hand, looks pretty good, with its purple gradient on the back of the device.

The OnePlus 6T will launch in Thunder Purple in the US and Europe on November 15, so just three days from now. You won't be stuck paying any additional money for the privilege of owning a purple phone, as this model costs $579. The trade-off is that you only get one hardware configuration option – the Thunder Purple OnePlus 6T ships with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. That's right in the middle of the pack as far as OnePlus 6T's configurations are concerned.

This probably won't be the last time we see OnePlus launch the 6T in a new color. OnePlus has a history of launching multiple color variants for its phones, so if purple isn't really your thing, it might be worth waiting to see what comes next. Then again, the OnePlus 6T represents one of the best values in flagship phones at the moment, so it might be a better idea to settle for purple or black to get the phone sooner.

In any case, OnePlus says Thunder Purple sales will open up on its website at 9 AM Eastern on November 15. We're guessing this start time also applies to its European launch as well. What do you think of the Thunder Purple OnePlus 6T? Head down to the comments section and let us know!
