Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus on Thursday unveiled the OnePlus 5T "Lava Red" edition in India for Rs 37,999.

"We are happy to kick-start 2018 with the much-requested OnePlus 5T 'Lava Red' edition, our first-ever red smartphone that will certainly appeal to those looking for the perfect balance of beautiful design and powerful features," Vikas Agarwal, General Manager, OnePlus India, said in a statement.

The "Lava Red" variant features the dual-camera system of a 16MP+20MP rear shooter with a f/1.7 aperture on both lenses.

The device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset and sports 6-inch Full-Optic AMOLED Display with an 18:9 aspect ratio for the immersive viewing experience.

Just like the original OnePlus 5T, this one also features "Dash Charge" which is the company's signature powering technology.
