Wood-themed cases are no longer new for smartphones, but the latest OnePlus 12 leak suggests that the upcoming flagship will feature a new "Wood" variant that brings a new experience for all. This is a different take on smartphone production materials, especially as most resort to either plastics or metals, may it be aluminum, stainless steel, or iPhone titanium.
This new look aims to revolutionize the experience for those buying OnePlus' new flagship, but there are debates on what it will really offer soon.
OnePlus 12 Leak: 'Wood' Variant is Coming Soon For All
A Weibo leaker called Digital Chat Station unveiled the latest development by OnePlus for its upcoming OnePlus 12 smartphone, talking about a "Wood" variant coming soon. What makes this the "Wood" variant is its classic wood grain shell that was claimed to be the smartphone's back panel, as opposed to the usual plastic or metal finish on its rear.
Android Central claimed that it is unknown if OnePlus will only offer a release that brings a wood-themed shell case that is a special fit to the device or an integrated back panel.
The leaked image shows how the wood variant will look like, complete with the imperfections of the material meant to resemble legitimate wood.
Is It Really Wood? Nature Theme for the Flagship
There are still debates online on whether this is truly a wood material used for its back panel development or a plastic material that was made to replicate the look and texture of the smartphone.
Still, OnePlus 12 will offer a nature theme for its flagship once it releases by early December, particularly on the 4th, claimed the reports.
