McLaren said the new device marks the start of a long-term partnership, celebrating a shared passion for speed.
OnePlus and McLaren say they have introduced intricate design with a powerful and versatile experience.
It is claimed that unmatched speed is at the heart of the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition, with new technology including 'Warp Charge 30, OnePlus' – a new charging standard. Warp Charge 30 can offer a day's power in just 20 minutes, it is claimed. McLaren says new Integrated Circuits in both the charger and the phone, as well as finely tuned power management software, enable 30 watts of power flow to the handset without slowing down even when the device is being used, or generating excessive heat.
It is also claimed the phone is a 'powerhouse of multitasking', whether it's high-end gaming, filming in 4K at 60 fps, photo-editing on the move or rapidly switching between apps – the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition 'doesn't slow down, because it features a colossal 10 GB of RAM'.
The signature McLaren colour, Papaya Orange, races around the bottom edge of the device before fading into the black. The pattern underneath the glass back of the phone is based on McLaren's ground-breaking carbon fibre, the technology at the heart of all McLaren cars since 1981 when it was introduced to the Formula 1 car design, before being integrated into all McLaren road cars in 1993. The Warp Charge 30 power unit includes a Papaya Orange braided cord cable.
Yes, Christmas is coming…
