OnePlus 6 Marvel Avengers Limited Edition Launched Alongside Regular Variants in China: Price, Features

OnePlus 6 Marvel Avengers Limited Edition has been launched in China. The new launch comes a day after the latest OnePlus flagship was officially unveiled in London. The anticipated Limited Edition smartphone debuts alongside the regular OnePlus 6 variants and features a custom 3D carbon fibre textured back that sits below the Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The handset also has an Avengers exclusive gold logo to please the fans of the superhero team.

The OnePlus 6 Marvel Avengers Limited Edition will be available in China with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage at a price of CNY 4,199 (approximately Rs. 44,700). It will go on sale through the official OnePlus site and JD.com starting June 5. Regular OnePlus 6 variants, on the other hand, will be available for purchase through the official online OnePlus store and JD.com from May 22. The OnePlus 6 price in China is set at CNY 3,199 (around Rs. 34,000) for the 6GB RAM/ 64GB storage variant, while its 8GB RAM/ 128GB storage variant will be available at CNY 3,599 (approximately Rs. 38,300), and the 8GB RAM/ 256GB storage variant will be available at CNY 3,999 (approximately Rs. 42,500). These variants will be available in a variety of colour options, including Mirror Black, Midnight Black, and the limited edition Silk White.

It is worth noting here that OnePlus has this time brought a significant difference between the price of its limited edition model and the regular variants. You can clearly see that the OnePlus 6 Marvel Avengers Limited Edition (with 8GB RAM, 256GB storage) is available in China at CNY 4,199, whereas the regular 8GB RAM/ 256GB storage variant is available at CNY 3,999. In the past, the company didn't bring any changes to the prices of its limited edition models. The OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition, for instance, was launched in December last year at Rs. 38,999 - a price just Rs. 1,000 more than to the regular 8GB/ 128GB OnePlus 5T variant. The OnePlus 5T Lava Red also arrived a few months back with the same price of the original 'Midnight Black' OnePlus 5T.

The more significant price difference apparently comes due to the custom treatment that makes the OnePlus 6 Marvel Avengers Limited Edition a distinct option against the regular OnePlus 6 variants. In addition to the carbon fibre back and Avengers gold logo, the Limited Edition model has OnePlus logo as well as the Alert Slider in gold colour. OnePlus has also bundled a special Iron Man protective case. Similarly, the handset comes bundled with random Avenger medal.
