The OnePlus 11 arrived in early December, followed by a global release in February. The phone was launched in two colors, Black and Green, and today it gets a third option that is by far the best-looking of the three.
The unique edition is called Jupiter Rock and is designed after the surface of the biggest planet in our Solar System. Each unit has a different pattern, developed with a material that OnePlus calls “3D microcrystalline rock” with a fine sparkle under as the light hits it.
Research and development of the panel took over 1 year, and the material goes through 9 complex processes before it becomes a back panel on a OnePlus 11 smartphone. The company said production is so complicated, efficiency is just 25%, compared with the green glass panel, where yield is 50%.
OnePlus called the feeling of the new panel “as cool and skin-friendly as the jade (stone) that has been under the spring water for thousands of years”. Jupiter might be a gas planet, but the design and material are based on a microlite rock; thus OnePlus concocted the name “Jupiter Rock”.

This variant comes with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage and has the same price as its Green or Black variants - CNY 4,899 ($710/€655). Pre-orders are live in China, with the first sale scheduled for April 3.

Jupiter's core composition is still being debated by the scientic community, since there is a possibility of a solid inner core. But if OnePlus really wants to make it Jupiter-colored, I agree with the Jupiter Gas Edition. Lol
I know OnePlus hasn't been the same flagship killer brand for several years by now, but seeing how they're doing this gimmicky nonsense is really disheartening.
