OnePlus teased its upcoming smartphone, the OnePlus 11 Concept

 

OnePlus teased its upcoming smartphone, the OnePlus 11 Concept, during the Cloud 11 launch event and later unveiled its design ahead of its official debut at the Mobile World Congress 2023. The device features light strips that encircle the camera and run through the rear panel of the handset, with an icy blue pipeline design meant to represent blood vessels. The device is housed inside a unibody glass design inspired by the calm stillness and vast power of a glacial lake, and is known as the "Flowing Back." Little is known about the device beyond its design, and OnePlus has not revealed what the pipelines seen in the teaser will do. The OnePlus 11 Concept will be officially unveiled on February 27 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

The leaked design of the OnePlus 11 Concept is reflective of the Nothing Phone 1, which also features a lit-up back. However, the design of the two phones is distinct, and it is unknown whether the lights on the back of the OnePlus 11 Concept will perform a similar function to the Glyph Interface on the Nothing Phone 1, which allows users to personalize the lighting effects on the phone's rear panel for specific contacts and notifications.
