OnePlus has a history of experimenting with various textures for the backs of its phones, and it appears that the OnePlus 12 will introduce something intriguing. According to the reputable and often accurate source, Digital Chat Station, the upcoming flagship smartphone may feature a variant with a wood texture back.
However, there’s some ambiguity due to machine translation, and the accompanying image doesn’t offer clarity either. There’s debate about whether this texture will be genuine wood or a material like plastic or glass designed to simulate a wood-like texture.
In the past, OnePlus has offered cases with wood textures for certain devices and even provided removable wood texture backs for its inaugural smartphone, the OnePlus One. It’s possible that this move to incorporate wood with the OnePlus 12 is a tribute to the company’s initial model.
Given the uncertainty stemming from the image, it seems more probable that OnePlus might offer a wood texture case. Creating such a case would likely be easier than applying such a texture directly to the phone’s back.
Nevertheless, the mobile industry has witnessed unexpected developments, so anticipation remains high to see the final outcome. The OnePlus 12 is scheduled for unveiling in the Chinese market on December 4 and is expected to reach international markets in January.
