Forget the boring black, grey and gold smartphones you’re used to. Red is now the hottest colour in town.

Chinese smartphone developer OnePlus has revealed it will be releasing a red OnePlus 6 next week.

Whilst OnePlus has released red versions of its smartphones in the past, like the OnePlus 5T, the company maintains that this red is different.

The new release sees the company’s flagship smartphone receive a design upgrade to a bright red colour, with silver accents and a clear, glossy finish, to give it an amber-like depth and clarity.

“We see individual colours as a way to express certain feelings or ideas,” said OnePlus CEO Pete Lau in a blog post. “To us, red exudes enthusiasm and personality. It also represents an inner confidence and courage.

“We hope you feel similarly empowered when you hold the OnePlus 6 Red this summer.”

The OnePlus 6 Red will be available to buy on 10 July for £519 (OnePlus )

How to get the new OnePlus Red smartphone

If you’re excited to try out the new OnePlus 6 Red, you don’t have long to wait. The new smartphone will be released next week, on 10 July, at 9am BST (10am CEST), at OnePlus.com/uk.

The device will be priced at £519, and available with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.

You’ll need to be quick on the uptake too. When OnePlus released the 6 earlier this year, it managed to sell one million phones in a mere 22 days. This is no small feat for a relatively new smartphone maker like OnePlus, particularly one that is competing with global companies like Apple and Samsung.

But, it demonstrates the strength of its smartphones which are slick, well-designed and easy to use Android devices.

It also helps that OnePlus has an avid fanbase too, which take part in pop-ups and ad campaigns for the company across the globe.

There are other ways to get your hands on the new smartphone. As part of the release of the new colour, OnePlus is hosting a giveaway on its website.

To enter, you need to post on the OnePlus blog with some information about who has empowered you to be the person you are today.

You can include photos and anecdotes in your entry, however, you can only enter the competition once so make sure it counts.

The winner will receive not one, but two OnePlus 6 Red devices: one for themselves and one to gift to their hero.

OnePlus is closing the competition at 3am BST on 9 July, the day before the smartphone is released.
