The OnePlus 3 Soft Gold edition is finally coming to India in the first week of October, a few months after the variant first made its debut. The brand has a good reason for doing so though, pointing out that the launch will conveniently fall in line with the festive season in India.
Nothing says Diwali like a OnePlus 3 dipped in gold after all. The new model of the handset is the company’s attempt at creating a light and elegant shade of the color, in contrast to the gaudy-looking gold usually found in other handsets. It even went so far as to redo the texture of the phone, switching to a soft surface meant to mimic the silkiness of sand.
