After releasing a video on its YouTube page, which teases the upcoming Sandstone Edition of its flagship smartphone OnePlus 5T, the China-based OnePlus has now again teased the device by releasing a new video on Twitter.

The video released on its Twitter account shows comments from various OnePlus phone owners praising sandstone back panel, which the company used to offer on the OnePlus One and OnePlus 2.

Some users claim that the sandstone finish is the reason they opted to buy the OnePlus phone, while others claim that it is the best experience for anyone with butterfingers. However, the teaser video has not revealed any details regarding the launch or announcement of this variant.

Recently, the company posted a photo on its official OnePlus Weibo account, announcing a launch event on Friday, 5th of January. The poster suggests that the company will release the Sandstone White version of the OnePlus 5T. The company has been promoting the launch with phrases like ‘three days left’, ‘the Classic returns’ mentioned on it.

The OnePlus 5T was originally launched in November last year. The phone features a 6.01-inch Full-HD+ Optic AMOLED display with 1080 x 2160 pixels screen resolution. It comes powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor along with 6GB/ 8GB RAM and 64GB / 128GB of internal storage. The phone sports a dual rear camera setup at the back, packing a 16-megapixel primary sensor and a 20-megapixel secondary sensor. There is also a 16-megapixel front sensor for taking selfies and video calling.

We believe that the new Sandstone Edition of the OnePlus 5T will initially be available in China only. The Sandstone White Edition of the phone has already been listed on Chinese online retailer JD.com for 3,499 Yuan, which roughly converts to $539.

OnePlus has been offering a new variant of its flagship smartphone at regular intervals. Recently, OnePlus introduced a special Star Wars Limited Edition variant of the OnePlus 5T. Prior to that, it launched a Lava Red colour variant in its home country, which is now reported to get launched in India later this month.

When the metal unibody design and the glass + metal body were not a trend, companies were much more creative at smartphone designs. According to a new official teaser video that was spotted yesterday, OnePlus 5T might break the metal / glass trend of 2017. The video has been published yesterday by the company’s official channel, and it shows some people’s reaction after touching a product inside a box. From what these people say, we can imagine that they touched the sandstone version of the latest flagship by the Chinese company. In case you do not know, OnePlus One and Two (the first phones launched by the company years ago) were also launched in a sandstone version.

This variant had a back cover made of real sandstone providing a special tactile feedback which might match the descriptions given by the people in the teaser video. That is why we think OnePlus 5T might be coming in a special sandstone variant which, unlike the standard version of the phone, would feature a unique design. Until now, OnePlus 5T has just been released in a Midnight Black version and a Star Wars limited edition. Unlike the Star Wars Edition which has limited availability, the sandstone version may be launched worldwide.

The specs of this special OnePlus 5T version should be exactly the same as the normal one. We will get the same 6-inch borderless display with a Full HD+ resolution and Optic AMOLED technology. Under the hood, there will be an octa-core Snapdragon 835 SoC by Qualcomm, running at a max frequency of 2.45 GHz. The camera department will consist of a dual setup on the back with resolutions of 16 + 20 MP, there will be a 16 MP front camera and a 3300mAh battery. We do not know whether the alleged sandstone version will be available in both the RAM/storage configurations or just in the most powerful one (8/128 GB).
