Hi guys,

Could someone please tell me in which colours the One Plus 5 is available and if it there will more colours in the future? It would be a bit sad if it just comes in black, white or grey in my opinion. Thanks :)!
 
Hi Noea,

The OnePlus 5 is available in Slate Gray (64gb version) and Midnight Black (128gn version). Currently, these are the only colors available. I haven't heard anything suggesting they plan on adding more colors, but you never know.
 
Yes, the colours are Slate Gray and Midnight Black, it is always possible that they will add an extra colour. But this normally happens after a few months.
 
OnePlus sent a tweet before the phone was released about the color options and they teased a red, a gold, a black, as well as a "unicorn" option but I'm not sure when they will be released if ever, I was wondering the SAME thing because I want one of the other colors
 
I like the red one. If they don't release one, I think I will purchase a Midnight Black and cover it in a Karbon red skin! Sweet!
 
Red is I think realistic, given the hype particularly around the HTC U11 Solar Red version, which has an effect changing the colour between red and yellow as the light hits it from different directions.
Well that plus the Tweet including red as an option.
Unicorn as they described it, if it were a similar effect to the Solar Red in shifting colour could actually be appealing to some, as something really different. Just personally not to me.
It would seem strange to tweet asking about colours to then offer it up with even less options than the previous generation.
I suspect there has been a rush to get the phone out, and I just hope that there aren't permanent faults or other issues as a result of that.

I had a similar thought recently, that more colours for the original Karbon cover would be nice, and surprised that they aren't offering additional covers in the "bumper" version, particularly the Sandstone, which again could have appeal in different colours, though the dirt magnet nature of that surface may well make anything lighter in colour look rather grubby very quickly.
 
I would like a golden pink. Ii's nice if the phones have some colour as well!
 
The lack of choice is pretty disappointing. Especially after seeing that blue HTC U11.
 
Maybe oneplus didn't want the extra costs (if there are any) considering the hardware. what are phone cases&covers meant for anyway?

If smartphones are designed from the start to be used with a cause something is very wrong, in my humble opinion.

But how many people with a glass back phone actually use it au natural? As beautiful as the phones look, you would never know it because people put cases on their phone. That is one thing that I don't get with reviewers. Some pound on the OP 5 because it isn't beautiful. Big fat hairy deal! You are gonna encase it anyway so no one can see its beauty.
 
There are always costs to adding colors. And at this price point, it makes sense that they don't want to take on that cost.

They did it with the 3t midnight black, and they do actually offer 2 colours for the 5, while arguably not "choices" per-se they are actually having to be manufactured as such, different colours.
Therefore I can see additional choices not straying too far from the finish, like the previous rose-gold being realistic.
Something more glossy or unique in the case of the Solar Red, I don't know.
But it would help with the differentiation, which is certainly more difficult due to the iphone resemblance.
 
Only 2 colors are present as of now:Slate Grey and midnight black.Yes there is a chance that they will include another color probably white one.
