Missed the most loved soft yellow colour on your flagship killer smartphone? Well, the Chinese mobile vendor OnePlus has launched its flagship device OnePlus 5 in Soft Gold colour option. The new colour option is touted to be a limited edition release and only a few units up for grab on its first sale.
Talking about the sale, OnePlus 5 in Soft Gold will be available exclusively via Amazon India and OnePlus Store starting 9th August 2017 at 12 AM. You can also take a spin on the new colour at OnePlus Experience stores across India. This includes one in Bengaluru, Mall of India in Noida, and Select Citywalk in New Delhi.
For the subdued tone of natural gold with a silky-smooth texture, OnePlus took an average of 180 days to create and perfect the coating. The company in a community page, explains the whole process gone behind building this elegant colour. “Getting a perfectly even and light colour 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 colour takes on a different shade. It’s an extensive process, but the result is worth it – a stunning matte finish is pleasing to see and feel“.
