OnePlus in a fourm post said that it was working on an all-black OnePlus smartphone for 'close to a year now', and during the period, the company experimented with over 30 variations on the theme, but was not able to get the premium deep black coat it was aiming to deliver, before settling for the new Midnight Black color it just announced.

"This limited edition of the OnePlus 3T is hewed out of the same space-grade aluminium that lent the original OnePlus 3 and 3T devices their class and durability. A dark coating of just 14 microns in thickness is meticulously applied to the surface of the phone, imbuing the device with a stunning black colour built to last, while retaining the look and feel of naked metal,. To finish each device, an anti-fingerprint layer is applied to keep your device looking as new as the day you bought it." OnePlus said regrading the new all-black OnePlus 3T color.

In related news, OnePlus recently pushed Android 7.1.1 Nougat update for the OnePlus 3 and 3T, making it the first non-pixel devices to get the 7.1.1.
