OnePlus may have another version of it OnePlus 11 smartphone in the works. But it's unclear if this is a concept device or one that'll get released. OnePlus China President Li Jie teased a first look at the device, saying it will feature "unprecedented materials and craftsmanship, making each mobile phone unique."

This phone is seen imposed against an image of Jupiter, suggesting a space-themed back design. Tipster Digital Chat Station suggested this OnePlus phone will feature an industry-first, special material on the back that's cool to the touch. Other rumours suggest this will feature colour-shifting properties, but there's no official confirmation from OnePlus yet.

OnePlus 11 Concept demos new cooling tech for smartphones

OnePlus doesn't have a new phone to show off at Mobile World Congress 2023 in Barcelona, but it did have a new concept. The OnePlus 11 Concept phone shows off what active cooling technology looks like on a smartphone. It sports an Active CryoFlux design that you can see off the back of the phone, reminiscent of cooling pipes you'll see on PC rigs. 

What this does for the phone is it reduces the temperature up to 2.1℃, improving the frame rate by three or four frames per second during gameplay. When charging, it also brings down the temp by 1.6℃, which shaves off 30 to 45 seconds from the charging time.

OnePlus 11 Concept gets PC-like LEDs on the back

OnePlus hasn't taken too many big leaps when it comes to the OnePlus 11's design. But it looks like it had other concepts in mind, specifically on a device aptly called the OnePlus 11 Concept. The company teases the smartphone ahead of Mobile World Congress on February 27. It features a rear design with LED lights akin to what you see on PCs. This "flowing back" look features a meandering stream-like LED pattern around the camera and through the unibody glass design.

With the OnePlus 11 packing in some gaming-worthy specs, this design seems to make sense. As Engadget pointed out, it seems reminiscent of the Nothing phone (1)'s transparent light-up back, which, as you may know, is from a company formed by OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei. We don't know if this phone will be released or if it lives up to that concept name. Either way, we'll learn more on the 27th at 3 PM ET.
