T-Mobile offers the OnePlus 6T in mirror black with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage for $549. The same color with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage is $579. Buyers wanting the midnight black version can get the 8GB of RAM/128GB of storage version for $579 while the midnight black with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage is $629. The coolest of the versions is only offered direct from OnePlus, and that is the OnePlus 6T McLaren edition packing 10GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and a carbon fiber pattern on the back of the device with orange highlights for $699.
