After the launch of the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition last month to commemorate the release of the next chapter in the epic Star Wars space opera – Star Wars: The Last Jedi – OnePlus kicked off 2018 with the launch of OnePlus 5T Lava Red Edition in India.
Initially a China-exclusive, the Lava Red 5T made its way to India a few weeks ago. David and I got to see this version of the phone in person at CES, so this news should come as no surprise. And like the Sandstone White, the Lava Red will be a limited edition variant, available only the 128GB/8GB configuration. In a very smart decision, OnePlus decided to keep the price for the Lava Red the same as the Midnight Black 128GB/8GB: $569, £499, €559. Apart from the cosmetic changes in the design, the Lava Red Edition is a OnePlus 5T at heart. It’s got the same internals as the higher spec’d OnePlus 5T (8 GB + 128 GB), and that isn’t a bad thing. The OnePlus 5T is a solid smartphone and has a well-rounded appeal for a broad audience.

Again, like the 5T, the OnePlus 5T Lava Red Edition runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat with OxygenOS on top. Android Oreo out of the box would’ve been a nice highlight of the smartphone launching in 2018, but alas! I'm sure that you are wondering how you can get your hands on this hot device. Twenty-fours from now, the Lava Red OnePlus 5T will go on sale and will remain so until none remain. So at 10am Eastern, be on OnePlus' store (with a PayPal account ready to go). I bet these will go as quickly as the Sandstone White model did. OP has not deign to declare exactly how limited the stock is, so don't take any chances if you want one of these.
