OnePlus is set to launch its Apex Edition smartphone in India and widely on August 7. With its release, the company will introduce a new colourway for the smartphone. However, the changes might not be just cosmetic, with a listing on the official website.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), OnePlus shared a teaser of its upcoming smartphone, which indicated that the OnePlus Open Apex Edition is set to be offered in a new colourway – Crimson Shadow.
According to the name suggested, it might be a shade of crimson in the vegan leather style. The company said this colourway is inspired by its signature “Never Settle” red.
However, this isn't expected to be a successor to the foldable smartphone released last year but may be more of an improved edition. While the company did not delve into any specifications of the Apex Edition, it is expected to retain most of the internals of the standard OnePlus Open.
