OnePlus had recently introduced the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition smartphone to celebrate the release of the latest Star Wars movie. The Chinese manufacturer has announced that it will be rewarding the first 37 buyers of the limited edition OnePlus 5T by naming a star after each of them.

Star Register is the globe’s biggest and most renowned commercial registry of stars. Since Star Register is not associated with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) or International Astronomer Union (IAU), it is possible to add a name to any star that has not been named before. OnePlus has partnered with Star Register to let each of the first 37 customers of OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition to adopt a star.

Registering a star with Star Register require buyers to spend certain amount of money. However, on behalf of the owners of OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition, OnePlus will be spending the amount that is required to purchase the stars for the first 37 customers. These people will be rewarded with a customized “Star Wars” constellation and certificate saying that a star is named after the buyer of OP5T Star Wars Limited Edition.

For the buyers of the regular version of OnePlus 5T, the Chinese manufacturer is providing a cashback of Rs. 1,500 to the users of ICICI credit card to those who avail it through EMI option from Amazon India. This offer will come to an end on Jan. 2.

Some may feel that the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition is exclusively available in India. However, it is already available in some of the European markets like Denmark, Finland and Sweden.

The OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition has the specs as the regular OnePlus 5T, but it comes with a white color rear with a sandstone finish and a red logo of Star Wars. Its alert slider is also of red color. The handset also features a Star Wars themed OS that feature red and white accents and some new wallpapers. It also comes in a special large-sized box that includes a logo of the Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Just a few days after announcing the gorgeous Lava Red OnePlus 5T in China, OnePlus took to India to reveal the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition. The special edition OnePlus 5T was unveiled at the Bengaluru Comic Con Event today. Permit us to say the force is strong with this one!

We first heard of the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition a few weeks ago even before the Lava Red variant launched. Rather than come in red as earlier reported, the phone is white with the familiar Star Wars logo engraved in red ink at the bottom of the phone.

The alert slider is now red but the volume rocker (and power button) is black. The phone itself wasn’t available for a hands-on experience at the event according to those who attended, so some details are still unconfirmed.

However, the phone is expected to come with themes and wallpapers related to the franchise or most probably, the upcoming movie – The Last Jedi.

The OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition is said to go on sale on December 16th for a yet undisclosed price. Sources say only 150,000 units will be up for sale and availability may be limited to India. I am sure OnePlus will likely get a petition from fans to make it available in other markets.
