OnePlus is readying a new special edition OnePlus 11. The company’s President for China Li Jie recently teased the handset on the Chinese social media platform Weibo. Jie says the device will feature “unprecedented materials and craftsmanship, making each mobile phone unique”. It appears to be made of marble.
A new OnePlus 11 variant with a marble back may be on the way
The OnePlus executive shared an image of a OnePlus 11 superimposed on Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. “Everyone is unique. Is it possible that each phone can also look unique?” text on the photo reads (machine translated from Chinese). As you can see in the zoomed-in image below, Jupiter’s surface patterns on the back of the OnePlus 11 hint at a marble finish.
Unfortunately, Li Jie didn’t reveal anything else. However, prolific Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station added fuel to the possibility of this handset featuring a marble back. They said the new OnePlus 11 variant uses an industry-first special material on the back. No other phone has ever used it. The material makes the phone feel cold and cool to the touch. Conversations on Weibo also point at a marble back.

If you remember, OnePlus showed a OnePlus 11 concept phone at MWC 2023 in Barcelona earlier this year. It was rather unique too, with the company’s new Active CryoFlux cooling solution which is a miniaturized closed-loop liquid cooling system found on desktop PCs. It keeps the phone’s temperature in check during graphic-intense gaming sessions, thus prolonging the battery and shortening the charging.
The concept phone wasn’t meant to enter production, and it won’t. Digital Chat Station has confirmed that the upcoming variant is different (via), though coolness appears to be one of its USPs. We’ll have to wait for more information before things get clearer as to what OnePlus is cooking here. As things stand, we don’t even have a vague timeline for the launch of this special edition OnePlus 11.
The phone may not feature those Jupiter surface patterns
Even if this special edition OnePlus 11 ends up having a marble back, there’s little hope those Jupiter patterns seen on the teaser image will make it to the end product. The handset itself may get a monotonous finish. Perhaps we may be looking at this unreleased beige color variant here, with some unique “craftsmanship” on top. This color option was rumored to be in the works but never saw the light of day. Stay tuned as we wait to find out what OnePlus has up its sleeves.
