Yesterday, Rao Han, the Director of Industrial Design at OnePlus shared a picture with us on the Chinese social website Weibo. The picture of the smartphone he posted on the network was very familiar to us, but in a special and unique Gold color that we had never seen before. According to Han, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer goes through a color selection process prior to the launch of their smartphones, which either goes official in only one or two color variants, but in reality Rao Han and the OnePlus team tests out and considers dozens of color options before the actual release of the handsets. And the phone we see above was actually one among these tested colors for the OnePlus 7T which was never selected. We don't really think that OnePlus is in any plans of bring this paint job to the market but you never know.
