Update (01/09/18): As promised, the Sandstone White edition of the OnePlus 5T went on sale earlier today for $599. However, the OnePlus site currently shows that the Sandstone White version is out of stock, so you might want to wait a few days to see if they get any more units.
Original story (01/04/18): Every once in awhile, companies release new colors of existing phones to jumpstart sales a few months after launch. This is usually more of an obscure color like red or pink, which serves as a special option for more enthusiast buyers.

Now, following the launch of the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Edition, the company has released an all-new color option for its flagship 5T: sandstone white. While the standard 5T is housed in a slick aluminum black casing, the sandstone white model, as the name suggests, features a sandstone-like grit that is reminiscent of the company’s first smartphone, the OnePlus One.

The new model features a stark black logo and buttons to match, which contrast very well with the matte white chassis. In a way, this reminds me of a Stormtrooper. If you couldn’t get your hands on the Star Wars Edition 5T, you should definitely go with the Sandstone White model.

The iconic notification switch is a ripe, saturated red color, and it shows up extremely well against the black and white theme. These three colors in tandem reflect the company’s color scheme as a whole, since OnePlus uses red, white, and black in its logo and accessories.
