OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition Unboxing and First Impressions
Affordable for a limited edition high-end smartphone! |
It now comes with the biggest RAM on a OnePlus device yet at 10GB and the evolution of the famed Dash Charge dubbed as the Warp Charge tech.
The best part? The price! Unlike other very expensive limited edition smartphones in partnership with an automotive brand, the OnePlus 6T is considered as very affordable for the specs and features.
It has an SRP of just PHP 39,990! Tempting right? Let's all have a look!
Unboxing/Accessories
Attractive packaging |
The packaging of this is feels and looks luxurious right off the bat! The packaging comes with an attractive papaya orange color with a big "salute to speed" text and the logos of OnePlus and McLaren in front.
What's inside |
Inside, it is a pretty loaded package. First you will see the 30W Warp Charge USB wall charger, the new USB-A to USB-C cable with braided coating, USB-C to 3.5mm dongle, carbon fiber case, and paper docs.

It also has McLaren coffee table book-like memorabilia and handcrafted carbon fiber inside a glass-like plaque.
What's missing is a free earphones with mic.
Build Quality/Design
Stunning glass design with papaya orange accent |
The McLaren Edition has most of the materials found on the regular OnePlus 6T. It still features a 3D glass back and Gorilla Glass 6 protected 2.5D curved screen in front.
The tiny notch and slim bezels |
But it now has a carbon fiber design under the 3D glass back inspired from a Formula 1 racing car. It also has a papaya orange speed trail accent that flows dynamically along the bottom edge. It also features the McLaren logo below at the back.

Design-wise, it is arguably the most elegant looking smartphone in the PHP 40K range!
The rest is the same with the regular OnePlus 6T. The design is mostly similar. It still goes with the waterdrop-like notch and 86 percent of screen-to-body ratio.
Initial findings
1. The McLaren branding made it look and feel like a luxury smartphone. Again, it is arguably the most stylish smartphone for its price.The speed you need? |
2. I also like that it has 10GB RAM to handle more tasks with ease than other similarly priced flagships. Some may think that 10GB is gimmick, but I will still prefer having bigger RAM than a smaller RAM. It also goes with a massive 256GB UFS 2.1 storage out of the box.
Dual f/1.7 cameras with Nightscape |
3. The 30W Warp Charge is real. It is noticeably faster than the 5V/4A OnePlus Fast Charge/Dash Charge power brick. The 50 percent of charge in 20 minutes claim of OnePlus is true. After that it will be a bit slower. But, charging time is just under an hour from 0 to 100 percent.
The camera interface |
4. Nearly everything is the same from the regular OnePlus 6T, but better overall.
