OnePlus 8 series first look

OnePlus phones have always been great-looking devices. The design of the phones has always been a top priority for OnePlus and that hasn't changed in OnePlus 8. In a detailed blog post, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau discusses the design of the upcoming OnePlus 8 series. After taking a walk down the memory lane, when OnePlus phones came out with sandstone back to metal and then finally moved to glass.

But OnePlus didn't stop at glass. It went further to give matte-frosted glass back, which was incredible to look at. Now, it's time for a change and OnePlus has something in mind with its matte-frosted glass and metal combo.

OnePlus 8 series comes with fifth-generation frosted glass, which has 64 percent to 82 percent haze, for a scooter and finer texture. While retaining the iconic Horizon Line, the center of the 3D curved glass is flattened for an aesthetic look. The new phones are lighter and thinner, thanks to the minor tweaks made to the design.

OnePlus also worked extremely hard to bring the right kind of haze and gradience. "The individual colors radiate through the misty material, giving off a dynamic and spirited appearance. The glass back we're presenting to you this time strikes a perfect balance between fine texture and visual comfort," Lau said.

With that, Lau came up with the all-new shade of green, it calls "Glacial Green". But there will be other colour variants too if that's not your taste. You can watch the video at the end of this article to get a glimpse of the OnePlus 8 series.
