OnePlus claims to have gone to "extreme" lengths to produce an upcoming limited edition of its flagship smartphone in 2023. This apparently involves developing a nine-step process in order to turn an "unprecedented" material into new, Jupiter-inspired rear panels for these special-edition 11 units. Each one is touted to have a unique grain to its new finish, to be showcased during an upcoming event.
OnePlus has confirmed that the 11 will be getting a Special Edition in 2023, and that it is indeed intended to evoke the look (and "feel", apparently) of our solar system's largest planet. The brand has a fairly diverse range of options - bamboo, ceramic, Sandstone and Active CryoFlux included - to replace glass as a finishing material to do so; however, it has decided to go and create something entirely new instead.
This apparently involves a completely new end-to-end production process that converts "3D microcrystalline rock" into rear panel material with a "natural" pattern "100% hand-selected" for the best appearance per limited-edition 11.
OnePlus thus asserts that each resulting unit is "dedicated to every individual you"...then again, according to leaked SnoopyTech renders, the overall effect is that of a new, creamy beige-ish 11 - albeit with the promised individualized grain in place.
The Jupiter Rock Edition will be unveiled during a March 29, 2023 presentation at 14:30 (08:30 CET) in Beijing, during which pricing and availability of the new 11 variant should be revealed.

I became a professional writer and editor shortly after graduation. My degrees are in biomedical sciences; however, they led to some experience in the biotech area, which convinced me of its potential to revolutionize our health, environment and lives in general. This developed into an all-consuming interest in more aspects of tech over time: I can never write enough on the latest electronics, gadgets and innovations. My other interests include imaging, astronomy, and streaming all the things. Oh, and coffee.
