OnePlus has collaborated with Jean-Charles de Castelbajac (aka JC/DC), a fashion designer from France to create a limited version of the OnePlus 5 called “the Callection.” OnePlus will be holding a pop-up event on Sept. 22 at the fashion boutique Colette in Paris to sell the OnePlus 5 JCC+ limited edition smartphone. The event will start at 10 AM CEST (4 AM ET in the U.S.). In the coming weeks, the Chinese firm will be holding pop-up events for OnePlus 5 JCC+ limited edition in other regions in Europe.

The limited edition OnePlus 5 will be sporting a trendy design featuring a blue colored power button and a yellow colored mute button. It will be also sporting a red volume rocker and the back panel will be inscripted with some writing.

The OnePlus 5 JCC+ limited edition will go on sale from Oct. 2 and it will be sold exclusively in Europe through OnePlus.net. The handset that is powered by Snapdragon 835 chipset is accompanied by 8 GB of RAM. It features 128 GB of storage. The OnePlus 5 JCC+ limited edition will carry a pricing of 559 euros / £499 GBP (`$672).

Earlier this year, OnePlus had sold 250 units of OnePlus 3T Colette Edition through Colette retail outlets in Paris. There is no information on the exact number of units of OnePlus 5 JCC+ limited edition that will be available for buying. Here is an image of the retail box of the special edition OnePlus 5:

OnePlus 5 is the first smartphone from the company to come with dual rear cameras that includes a 20-megapixel sensor and a 16-megapixel sensor. The dual cam setup is equipped with various features like PDAF, EIS, dual-LED flash and 1.6x optical zoom. Its frontside features a 16-megapixel selfie camera. The handset is fitted with a 5.5-inch Optic AMOLED display that supports full HD resolution and is packed with a 3,300mAh battery.

OnePlus will be also selling other JC/DC-designed limited edition items such as t-shirts, tote bags, caps, and holsters. These items will be also available in other markets like North America, China and India, but the OnePlus 5 JCC+ limited edition will remain exclusive to Europe.

The t-shirts will be priced at 29.95 euros / 27.95 pounds (`$38) and the tote bags will be available for 24.95 euros / 21.95 pounds (~$30). Other items will be made available for buying later this year through limited sales drops.

OnePlus has just sent invitations for a launch event that will be held in Paris on Sept. 19. Since the invitation carries the name of a French designer, Castelbajac, it appears that the Chinese firm is collaborating with Castelbajac to showcase a special edition of OnePlus 5.

After launching the OnePlus 3T in the last year, the company had released a special version of the smartphone called OnePlus 3T Colette Edition earlier this year. The limited quantity handset (250 units) was only available through Colette stores in Paris. It seems that OnePlus is now teaming up with another French designer to announce a special version of OnePlus 5 or new accessories.

The invite carriers a text that reads “when the style meet its machine, one night in September in Paris.” The mentioning of “machine” is also indication that a OnePlus 5 special edition may get unveiled on Sept. 19. However, as of this writing, there is no information available on it.

OnePlus has confirmed about its partnership with Jean-Charles De Castelbajac. The collaborative work between the two companies is reportedly called Callection. However, there is no information available on the meaning of Callection.

If the company announces a special version of OnePlus 5, it is likely that it may be available in limited quantities like the OnePlus 3T Colette Edition. Moreover, it is rumored to carry an expensive pricing.

OnePlus 5 was launched in June this year in two colors such as Midnight Black and Slate Gray. Few months later, the Chinese firm had also introduced a Soft Gold edition for its flagship phone. The Colette Edition came with a matte black finish, but sported the same specs. Hence, the rumored special edition OnePlus 5 is unlikely to come with improved specs.

OnePlus 5 comes with a 5.5-inch Optic AMOLED screen that produces full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. Like most flagship phones of this year, the Snapdragon 835 chipset powers the OnePlus 5. Its 64 GB storage model has 6 GB of RAM and its 128 GB storage variant has 8 GB of RAM. The handset includes a 3,300mAh battery.

It is the first OnePlus 5 phone to come with 16-megapixel + 20-megapixel dual rear cameras. The selfie snapper of the smartphone is of 16-megapixel. Other features include dual-SIM support, VoLTE, fingerprint scanner, Bluetooth 5.0 and USB Type-C port.

Do you own a OnePlus 3 or OnePlus 3T smartphone? If yes, you may be surprised to know that some of the owners of these phones are saying on Reddit that the rear cameras on these two smartphones have slightly tilted bumps.

The camera bumps are not present on all the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T phones. Hence, it does not seem to be a widespread issue. However, some of these phones have more obvious tilt than what can be seen on others. It seems that none of the owners of OnePlus 3 and 3T have complained that the tilt has affected the performance of the camera. However, the presence of crooked camera bump does give an impression that it is poorly designed smartphone.

The issue was first spotted on the newly launched OnePlus 3T Colette Edition phone. One of the Redditors, @hyperjit has uploaded the following image to show the camera bump on the limited-edition phone that comes with 128 GB storage and $479 pricing.

It is heart breaking when someone leads you on and then decides to break your heart. That is what happened today between OnePlus and I. A couple of days ago, the official OnePlus twitter account had teased a new product set to launch today. The teaser showed the date of the launch written against a blue background and most of us had thought it was a sign that the OnePlus 3T was going to get a blue variant. It also had French fashion accessory maker, Colette’s, double blue dots.

Fast forward to today and OnePlus finally launched the new product which disappointingly turned out to be a matte black OnePlus 3T in a blue box. Can you imagine? In a blue box!!!

The new OnePlus 3T Colette Edition is a special edition variant to celebrate Colette’s 20th anniversary. Colette’s logo is engraved on the back and only 250 units will be available for purchase. The new variant is basically the 128GB version with a fresh coat of paint. It will sell for 479 Euros ($510) and will go on sale on the 21st of March at 11 am.
