They say, “If you can’t beat them, join them.” Google took this proverb to heart when it confirmed the design of its upcoming flagship in the wake of all the leaks it was subjected to before its launch, and OnePlus has seemingly done the same. CEO Pete Lau took to Twitter today and released official press renders of the OnePlus 7T that showcases a circular housing for the triple rear camera setup, along with the brand’s 4th-gen matte-frosted glass design used for the back panel. The OnePlus 7T revealed in these pictures also has a gradient blue shade that is just slightly lighter than that of the Nebula Blue OnePlus 7 Pro.

Over on the OnePlus forum, Lau released another post where he showcases early design schematics and goes into further detail regarding the design of the OnePlus 7T. There, he mentions that the company went through over fifty possible design iterations before ending up with the circular rear camera housing for this smartphone. He also talks about how aesthetics have always been one of the primary aspects the brand has focused on ever since the release of the first OnePlus One. It took three years for the brand to develop its matt-frosted glass design we saw on the OnePlus 6 and continued its efforts to come up with the “new smooth matte surface with a brilliant metallic radiance” found on the new OnePlus 7T.
