OnePlus launched the OnePlus 6T last month, and made it available in Midnight Black and Mirror Black colour options. A few days after, it launched the Thunder Purple variant in China, and now the company has announced that the same colour option is coming to other markets globally, including India. OnePlus 6T comes with a few upgrades from the OnePlus 6 - the main ones being the waterdrop-shaped notch, the in-display fingerprint scanner and the bigger battery. The OnePlus 6T is an Amazon-exclusive online, is also available on the OnePlus website, and is also sold in Reliance Digital outlets, Croma, and OnePlus' own offline stores.

OnePlus 6T Thunder Purple variant has been confirmed to arrive in India soon. The company has put out a tweet announcing this new development, something it echoed on its global handle. The launch timeline has been set to coming soon for now. OnePlus should announce exact availability soon, and if past listings are anything to go by, November 30 may be the launch date in some regions. In China, only the 8GB RAM/ 128GB inbuilt storage configuration was available in Thunder Purple, and the same is expected to happen in India as well.

To recall, last month the upcoming Thunder Purple colour was spotted on the company's support page and was briefly listed on Amazon Germany. As seen in previous OnePlus handsets, the Chinese manufacturer can be expected to release several colour models of its smartphone, with past offerings including Lava Red, Sandstone White, and Silk White.
