An Avengers-themed OnePlus 6 could be arriving around the new film's release date

More and more details are starting to emerge regarding the OnePlus 6, and most recently OnePlus itself has released a teaser video via Twitter, in doing so hinting that a release isn't too far away. But according to new reports, OnePlus may launch an additional OnePlus 6 in late April, presumably after the main model launches; this additional model will follow the Star Wars-themed OnePlus 5T, but instead will be themed around the forthcoming Avengers: Infinity War movie.

While the tip-off does not explicitly say it'll be a OnePlus 6, it's unlikely that OnePlus would launch another themed OnePlus 5 so close to the launch of a successor flagship. The following teaser video for the film was posted to YouTube and does hint about a themed OnePlus handset. Originally the video was posted on the official OnePlus India Facebook page. Also, the launch of the Avengers: Infinity War film is April 27.

If OnePlus' past themed models are any indication, the Avengers: Infinity War OnePlus 6 should have the same specs and features as the regular model, and likely the same price, but will have a themed exterior design and colour, as well as wallpaper and other software elements.

A new report now claims to confirm that the OnePlus 6 Avengers: Infinity War edition will launch in the UK. The word comes via Deadline, which reiterates recent news regarding the regular OnePlus 6's launch taking place on May 5, as well as key specs that it will share with the Avengers special edition. Those include the Snapdragon 845 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of onboard storage. Other than saying the Avengers model will launch in the UK, the report doesn't detail exactly when it will arrive, although it is unlikely to launch before the regular edition, despite the Avengers: Infinity War film launching beforehand, on April 27.
