OnePlus 8 series design details have been confirmed just days ahead of its official launch. The company CEO Pete Lau has said that OnePlus is set to offer its fifth-generation matte-frosted glass finish on the new smartphones. The company claims that the new design on the OnePlus 8 models will not just make it attractive but also provide a comfortable grip. Additionally, a video has been released by OnePlus to show off the OnePlus 8 series in Glacial Green color option. In a forum post, Pete Lau has mentioned that OnePlus has retained the matte-frosted glass design for the OnePlus 8 lineup that was a part of previous smartphones by the company. The new phones are, however, claimed to offer some advancements.
“In the OnePlus 8 series, we've managed to achieve the fifth generation of matte-frosted glass using a new crafting process. To me, this is OnePlus' best CMF (color, material, finishing) to date. It is sure to astonish and impress anyone who touches it, just as it did from me,” Lau wrote in his post. The back of the OnePlus 8 models is confirmed to have a smooth and beautiful texture that “feels just as warm and comfortable” as the first-generation Silk White cover available on the OnePlus One. There is also a 3D curved design for an ergonomic experience in hand. Lau, in his post, has also stated that the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro would be thinner and lighter over the previous-generation OnePlus phones. Furthermore, there will be a new degree of haze to “better reflect changes in light intensity” and provide a “relatively balanced transparency” to users. “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,” the executive quoted. In addition to the forum post, OnePlus has shared a teaser video showing the Glacial Green color option of the OnePlus 8 family. This is notably the same color that Lau revealed through a teaser image posted on his Weibo account on Thursday.
