So here we are, it's another day, another coloured oneplus 6t.
This is what smartphone manufacturers do.
They release their device, the hype will be there, it will drop down after 30 days.
It will release a brand new colour, that will drop down and then they partner with a car
company to release something special.
Oneplus is partnered with mclaren, a very fast sports car company that makes amazing
cars that I will never be able to afford.
Mmmmm… the sweet smell of chemicals and I just lost 10 years of my life.
But what you do get is this little heavy manual inside with salute to speed and inside of
it you get basically a dedicated history lesson of mclaren.
I'm not going to go through all of it but basically it talks about the founder, Bruce
Mclaren and how he founded the company and some of the things he had to go to get where
he is today.
Now, as you can see here it is inspired by the F1 instead of 6 or 8 Gb of ram we have
on other oneplus devices.
We are actually getting 10GB of Ram and 256GB of storage.
That is absolutely nuts, most windows laptops start at 8 Gb of ram, to have 10GB of Ram
in a smartphone is absolute overkill.
I want to personally know if this actually makes a difference and maybe im going to do
a bunch of testing to find out if that extra 2Gb of Ram makes the phone anymore better.
Now enough about that, the phone is here, brand new colour, it looks absolutely awesome
but before I get to that we got to talk about the accessories.
Inside of the box you are getting a brand new braided cable, this thing is absolutely
thick.
This thing will never rip on you, it wont get tangled as easily and overall it adds
to the vibe of the phone.
Orange with an orange device, it just looks absolutely awesome.
Thankfully you still get a dongle, could you imagine they release this device which costs
700 dollars US and they decided to take out the dongle.
You get the brand new warp charge, as you can see it is much thicker than the previous
dash charge and the reason being is because there are more watts being used.
So they had to make the brick itself thicker in order to charge your device faster.
And finally you get a very special case, this right here is the Mclaren case.
Its very similar to other OnePlus cases, it has this very smooth texture and of course
you have that carbon fibre logo on the back to give it a very smooth and fast feeling
to the device.
And with your device, you get this very special plaque to kind of show their appreciation
for you buying the phone, and more importantly to welcome you to a very exclusive club that
a lot of other people will not be part of.
What it says, I don't know if you guys can see this, but what it says is the mclaren,
omg i just already scratched it, wow im an ape.
McLaren MCL33 carbon fibre 2018 handcrafted in the UK so it's something special, something
you can keep on top of your mantle to be proud of your expensive purchase.
So here it is, you have a very mirrored black look to the device.
But this time you are getting a few key textures that you don't have on any other one plus
phone.
First and foremost depending if the light penetrates through the glass, you can see
a carbon fibre texture underneath which looks pretty great.
The second thing, there is an orange line wrapping around the phone and depending on
how the light reflects off of it, it makes the orange look like its actually moving when
its not.
Unfortunately, many people are going to be placing a case on this device, I don't blame
them.
This is fragile, it is glass but nonetheless it's pretty awesome to look at.
The next thing, everything else is pretty much exactly the same as the 6t except you
get the oneplus logo in the middle and on the bottom you have the mclaren logo to represent
the collaboration.
So the phone is booted up and the first thing that i noticed is that the wallpaper is completely
different from other oneplus devices.
You have all these light sources moving in a circular motion probably to represent speed.
The next thing is the icons, instead of your typical icons you get like on the other oneplus
6 devices, these ones are now in orange to match the whole theming of the mclaren.
So check this out, this is actually pretty cool.
It comes with an AR feature built in and what you do is you take the camera on your smartphone
and scan this book.
And once it finds specific key areas it will start playing specific videos to give you
a history lesson.
So if i scan over here, nothing really happens.
But if I scan over Bruce over here it will start playing a video.
So right now it's actually telling me how Bruce Mclaren actually died, obviously it
was in a car crash, but at least you get more detail about this collaboration than just
a simple book to read.
So that pretty much wraps up my first impression of the OnePlus 6t Mclaren edition.
It's a beautiful smartphone and all you are really getting is a new colour, you are getting
a different unboxing experience, 10 GB of ram instead of 6 or 8 and 256GB of storage.
Here is the Oneplus 6t up against the purple, and of course you have the original midnight
black.
What i want to know is which one is your favourite colour and would you spend 700 dollars to
get basically a new cosmetic change, if so i want to hear why.
Now stay tuned, im going to be doing a more in depth review of this device to see if there
is anything else different from the previous devices.
