Exactly a week ago, we came across a report which stated that the OnePlus 5T Lava Red color variant was going to be launched in India on January 26. However, if the recent tweet from OnePlus is anything to go, then we could see the OnePlus 5T Lava Red color variant being launched in India two days later, i.e., on January 11.
The official Twitter account of OnePlus India has shared an image on Twitter which seems to be the back of the OnePlus 5T Lava Red color variant. Moreover, the image also has the number ‘2’ written on it, and, the company in the tweet has also said “Powerful radiance is right around the corner. 2 days to go!“.

Well, this points towards the launch of the OnePlus 5T Lava Red color variant on January 11 in India.
For those unaware, the OnePlus 5T was launched in November last year and was sold only in Midnight Black color. However, the company later same month launched the OnePlus 5T in Lava Red color exclusively in China. And now, the company seems to be all set to bring the Lava Red colored OnePlus 5T in India as well.
Having said that, with the launch of OnePlus 5T Lava Red color variant in India, customers will have three options to choose from – the OnePlus 5T in Midnight Black, OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition, and, the OnePlus 5T Lava Red color variant.
The OnePlus 5T in Midnight Black is available in both 6 GB and 8 GB RAM variants in India, however, the Star Wars Edition only comes with 8 GB RAM. The OnePlus 5T Lava Red color variant is also sold in only 8 GB RAM configuration in China, and, we wouldn’t be surprised to see OnePlus keeping it that way in India as well.
