Yesterday, September 16, OnePlus revealed that it’ll be holding an event on September 26 to announce its new flagship smartphone the OnePlus 7T. Just a day later, the company has shared renders of the phone’s official, final design.
OnePlus CEO Pete Lau posted the early look at the phone over on the OnePlus forum, and it looks pretty much as the leaks have promised, with a new circular rear camera module that features a triple-camera system. It also gives a good look at the new blue color gradient, which Lau describes as a “smooth matte surface with a brilliant metallic radiance.”
To convey the superior quality and effortless versatility of our Triple Camera setup, finding an elegant balance between the three unique lenses. With perfect symmetry from any orientation, a circular design became the natural choice. A circle’s rounded edges produce an appealing contrast against the straight lines of a smartphone’s rectangular form for a seamless, balanced feel. After going through over fifty design iterations, we think we’ve landed on something pretty special.
Lau also talks a lot about a new finish the company’s created that’ll be available for the first time on the OnePlus 7T. OnePlus has been no stranger to unique materials, with some of its most iconic designs being the rough yet silky Sandstone from the OnePlus One and real bamboo backs it previously offered.
With the OnePlus 7T, we’ll be introduced to “a new smooth matte surface with a brilliant metallic radiance.” The back glass doesn’t look all that different from the Nebula Blue OnePlus 7 Pro, so it’ll be interesting to go hands-on with the 7T and see just how different it looks and feels in person.
Along with the bold design, the OnePlus 7T is also expected to ship with a 90Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 855+ processor and three rear cameras.
