Not so long ago, OnePlus 3T received a new color variant in the shape of Midnight Black – a color variant that was initially thought to be exclusive to the limited Colette Edition.
The OnePlus 3T Colette Edition had only 250 units produced and considering how hot the standard model has been in the market ever since it was released late last year, Colette Paris only needed a few seconds to sell all available units. Due to this huge demand, the Chinese OEM opted to bring in more units of the Midnight Black variant, but like the initial offering, this one was also limited to HYPEBEAST.
Similar to Colette Paris, HYPEBEAST did not need ages to sell all units of the OnePlus 3T Midnight Black edition, but the good side of the story is that the company has another release coming in three days’ time. Those who wish to get the new color variant of the phone can be ready to do so starting early next week via the official OnePlus store, just like the standard version.
This is a good gesture from OnePlus, especially after cries from many fans that the new OnePlus 3T version should be made available to everyone. However, it also seems that the official store will have the Midnight Black version in limited quantities. This is true because OnePlus goes ahead to warn potential buyers that they’ll need to be fast in order to get their hands on this phone come next week.

Other than the changed finish, the new OnePlus 3T Midnight Black edition keeps the rest of the specs, including a 5.5-inch AMOLED screen with 1080p resolution, a Snapdragon 821 SoC paired with 6GB RAM and 16MP/16MP front and back cameras. In terms of storage, this one is exclusive to 128GB and as usual, there’s no microSD card slot. As for the price, we don’t expect any changes from the $479 charged for the standard 128GB variant.
