Update: As expected, the Solar Red color variant of the HTC U11 smartphone is now available in the US.

Happy to have the entire family together — Pre-orders are now live for the Solar Red #HTCU11: https://t.co/nYNoPuotQ9 pic.twitter.com/h96NhdPBU9 — HTC USA (@HTCUSA) June 20, 2017

The red color option is now showing up on HTC's US website, although it's currently up for pre-orders, with shipments set to begin sometime next month. Price remains the same: $649.

Original story follows:

The HTC U11 launched in the US less than a couple of weeks ago, and is currently available through the company's official online store as well as some third-party retailers and carriers. Available color options include silver, black, and blue.

Now, it looks like a new color option - Red - will be available in the country soon.

A quick look at HTC USA's Twitter timeline reveals the company has been running a countdown since late last week, teasing the new model along with a number that presumably indicates the number of days left for the model to arrive. So by that logic, red U11 should be launched tomorrow (June 20).
