- [Saf] What's up guys?
Saf here on SuperSaf TV.
And this is the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition.
Seems to be a bit of a trend these days,
smartphone manufacturers partnering with car brands
to bring limited edition devices.
We've had Oppo partner with Lamborghini
Huawei partner with Porsche
and now OnePlus has teamed up with McLaren.
So taking a look at the box initially
it is in this bright orange color
with the text Salute to Speed.
Speed, of course, being the theme
of this device and partnership.
Once we remove the outer sleeve,
there is a slick looking black box
which has a carbon fiber print.
And inside this we are initially presented
with the text Fast and Smooth.
And there is a booklet with the same
Salute to Speed text we had on the outer box.
Now this booklet has some info on some hidden AR triggers
which we will take a look at in a short while.
Then we have some info around the McLaren MCL33
which the design of this special edition 6T is based on.
And also the info and specs of this device.
Now a couple of the key things to note here
is that you've got a whopping 10 GB of RAM
and Warp Charge 30, giving you 30 watts of charging
to top up 50% of the device in just 20 minutes.
Finally we have the 6T McLaren Edition
inside this booklet box.
And we'll have a closer look at this
after we've seen what else is inside the box.
So initially there is a carbon fiber design case
with the OnePlus and McLaren logos on the back.
From what I can see this is very similar
to the already available carbon fiber style case
that you can pick up from the OnePlus website.
We then have a glass plaque to show that this
is a limited edition device.
A brilliant orange and black USB-A to USB Type-C cable
which I do think looks really nice.
Even the inside of the connectors have orange accents.
And then there's the Warp Charge 30 power brick
which once again follows the black and orange theme
as does the USB Type-C to 3.5 mm dongle.
Because this 6T like the other editions
does not have a 3.5 mm jack.
Finally there is some paper work
and a SIM Card ejector tool.
The main leaflet has a quote as well
as a blueprint of the 6T with quick start details.
And there's also a note from Pete the CEO of OnePlus.
Right now, let's take a closer look at the device.
Removing the sticker at the back reveals the design.
And from a distance it may look like a variant
of the Mirror Black 6T which already exists.
But if you look closer you'll notice the McLaren logo
towards the bottom and this Papaya Orange for the gradient.
It's an interesting look and reflects quite nicely
depending on the angle the light hits it.
And there is a subtle carbon fiber design
behind the back glass.
Here is a side by side with the Midnight Black 6T
and you will see that the layout of everything is the same.
Up front, the 6T McLaren Edition looks pretty much the same
as any of the 6T
with the 6.41 inch Optic AMOLED display
and the water drop notch.
But we do have a McLaren theme which gives you
the black and orange colors throughout the UI.
Now remember the booklet earlier?
Well, if you start the device
you get a Salute to Speed screen that you can use
to point your camera at parts of the booklet
and you'll get some videos playing
in the placeholders of the booklet.
Apart from that the device is pretty much the same
as a regular OnePlus 6T.
The same dual cameras at the back
the same alert slider, the same single bottom speaker,
the same in display finger print scanner
along with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845
but with 10 GB of RAM this time as mentioned earlier.
Not sure how much of an actual effect that will have
on speed as the regular 6T is already
one of the fastest Android devices out there.
I haven't been given any pricing info as yet.
We'll be sure to drop that in the description
as soon as I have it.
But this will of course be more expensive
compared to the regular 6T.
And for that you're getting the limited edition
McLaren inspired design and included accessories
Warp Charge 30 and of course the 10 GB of RAM.
In my opinion, it's a good looking device
especially if you're a McLaren fan.
But I do think it looks too much like the Mirror Black 6T.
Personally, I would like to have seen something
more striking.
Maybe an orange carbon fiber look
or something like that.
But that's just me.
