The OnePlus 11 concept looks more like a gaming PC than a phone

OnePlus officially lifted the lid on its flagship OnePlus 11 earlier this month, but the company also used the phone's global launch event to tease the arrival of what is expected to be an alternative version of the same device.

Now, OnePlus has given us a better look at the enigmatically named One Plus 11 concept ahead of its global unveiling at MWC Barcelona on February XNUMX, and suffice to say it looks more like a water-cooled gaming PC. . one phone.

Although it appears to resemble the standard OnePlus 11 in terms of basic dimensions (you can read our thoughts on the phone's retro design in our full OnePlus 11 review), the One Plus 11 concept adds a curved illuminated line that meanders near the rear of the phone. the device and a slightly larger camera cutout.

OnePlus calls this LED-based rear design, Nothing Phone 1, "Flowing Back," which we think is meant to accentuate the standard OnePlus 11's awesome gaming credentials. Once we spend more time with the new flagship, it's almost certainly going to earn a spot on our list of the best gaming phones, thanks to its XNUMXHz display, ultra-fast XNUMXW charging, and Qualcomm Snapdragon XNUMX processor. . Gen two.

It's pretty hard to tell the Concept's camera setup from the two images (and mystery clip) shared by OnePlus so far, but the phone seems to stick to its sibling's 3 main sensors: telephoto, main and wide-angle. , albeit the case in a larger cutout that's not unlike that of the Vivo X90 Pro.

As exciting as the OnePlus 11 concept sounds, the jury is still out on whether we're actually going to be able to get our hands on the phone in the real world. OnePlus has released singular edition phones before - the company has co-operated with Cyberpunk, Star Wars and Pac-Man on actual, purchasable devices - but the 'concept' in this phone's name suggests it could stay that way.

Either way, OnePlus has confirmed that it will unveil the OnePlus 11 concept at its MWC Barcelona event on February XNUMX. We'll be on the ground at the show itself, so keep an eye on TechRadar for the latest updates.
