OnePlus 6 shines in sleek and satiny red

OnePlus announced it will release its OnePlus 6 flagship in bright red. The limited-edition OnePlus 6 is available starting July 10 with preorders kicking off July 2.

The variant will only be available to markets in North America and Europe for $579 and £519 with 128GB of storage.  

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 is otherwise unchanged. It features a 6.28-inch OLED display. 

The phone features a USB Type-C port for charging and file transferring, as well as a headphone jack.

It also has dual rear cameras, a Snapdragon 845 chipset and dual-SIM capabilities.

Unfortunately, the phone also lacks waterproofing, wireless charging and has a shorter battery life than its OnePlus 5T predecessor. In the US, the phone doesn't work on CDMA carriers like Verizon and Sprint.

Like the  iPhone X ,  LG G7  and  Essential Phone , the OnePlus 6 also features a black notch on the top of its screen.

The first OnePlus 6 launched in May and earned an Editors' Choice from CNET for its high-powered hardware, reliable performance and relatively inexpensive price tag.
