OnePlus recently announced it will release a limited-edition red OnePlus 6, available next week on July 10. Preorders have already begun.

The obnoxiously shiny red phone -- I mean that in the best way -- will only be available in North America and Europe for $579 and £519, with 128GB of storage.

We got our hands on the new red model, and can assure you that it's extremely bright. Its glossy finish also gives it a more luxurious, high-end look.

Other OnePlus 6 colors include two black variants (glossy and matte) and a "silk white" version accented by a rose gold trim. In an interview with CNET, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei said the OnePlus 6 was the company's "boldest design" yet.

Other than the fresh coat of paint, however, the phone remains the same. It has a 6.28-inch OLED display, dual rear-cameras and a Snapdragon 845 chipset. Like the iPhone X , LG G7 and Essential Phone , the OnePlus 6 also features a black notch on the top of its screen.
