OnePlus 5 limited edition Soft Gold variant launched in India; to be available from August 9

 

OnePlus has announced the OnePlus 5 in a new soft gold color variant in India. Starting August 9th at 12AM IST, the limited-edition OnePlus 5 Soft Gold with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage will be available for Rs 32,999 in India through Amazon.in as well as on oneplusstore.in.

OnePlus noted, “That it takes an average of 180 days to create and perfect a coating of soft gold. Getting a perfectly even and light color starts with running premium aluminum alloy through a diamond cutter. The surface is then sandblasted and polished with intense precision. Each second matters in this process, or the anodized color takes on a different shade. It's an extensive process, but the result is worth it- a stunning matte finish, pleasing to see and feel.”

In terms of specifications, the device sports a 5.5-inch full-HD Optic AMOLED display with a 1080x1920 pixels resolution. The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor coupled Adreno 540 GPU. Running Android 7.1.1 Nougat, the device comes equipped with a 20MP rear camera along with a 16MP front facing camera. Connectivity features include 4G LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth v5.0, NFC, GPS / A-GPS and USB Type-C (v2.0). A 3300mAh battery completes the package.

Speaking on the new launch, Vikas Agarwal, General Manager, OnePlus India, said, “As a maker of the most beautifully designed smartphones, it gives us immense joy to introduce the latest OnePlus 5 with even more refined and elegant Soft Gold finish this festival season. The latest OnePlus 5 Soft Gold will appeal to those who are looking for the perfect balance of beautiful design and powerful features."
