OnePlus teases red-coloured smartphone launch during Amazon Great Indian Festival sale

OnePlus has begun hinting at the introduction of a new Red smartphone in India, aligning with Amazon's forthcoming Great Indian Festival Sale.

Specs and Previous Releases

The promotional text showcases "R3" alongside figures "18" and "512", indicating the possibility of the new OnePlus 11R boasting 18GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

It's worth recalling that the brand unveiled the OnePlus Ace 2 Genshin Impact Limited Edition with analogous specifications in China this April.

However, if this iteration mirrors the Genshin Impact Edition, only distinguished in its Red hue, it would mark the debut of a OnePlus handset with a vegan leather back.

This would be a novel shift from their prior Amber Red OnePlus 6 and Lava Red OnePlus 5T models.

More Than Just a Colour

In a passionate statement about the new shade, OnePlus remarked, "It’s not merely a color, but an emotion rooted deeply within OnePlus. It symbolizes the exhilaration one feels holding a OnePlus gadget and stands as a persistent call to 'Never Settle' for mediocrity."

The company has invoked nostalgia by urging fans to relive the charm of holding their maiden OnePlus device, promising to revive that primal sentiment with this launch.

Anticipated Release Date

The buzz suggests that the Red OnePlus smartphone will be accessible on both Amazon.in and the official OnePlus India website.

Given that its release is pegged with the Amazon Great Indian Days sale commencing from October 8, market analysts predict the phone's unveiling to be just around the corner, potentially next week.

With the festive season approaching, this strategic move by OnePlus seeks to capitalize on the shopping frenzy, offering tech aficionados another compelling reason to indulge.
