The OnePlus 8 will be available in a color
called “Interstellar Glow”, but leaks haven’t quite managed to nail down the
exact hue. When we first saw it, it had deeply saturated colors, going from
purple to warm yellow. New renders of the same color have surfaced, which show
much lighter colors.
It’s quite likely that OnePlus tried out
several different options before deciding on the final look. It has happened
before - for example, one of the company’s designers published an unreleased
OnePlus 7T in Gold, later Marble and more colors surfaced.
Yesterday, we saw this different version
of the OnePlus 8 paint job in a transparent case. The timing of the leaks and
the additional views of the new color suggest that this lighter take on
Interstellar Glow is the one heading to stores.
That transparent case may be the only way
to show off the phone’s true color, by the way, most cases are opaque and from
5 options for the vanilla phone, not one of them seems to match up with the new
take on Interstellar Glow.
