When it comes to making phones, manufacturers go through several designs before arriving at the final one. There are times some of these early prototypes leak, giving us a look at what could have been. This is one of those times, as renders of canceled colors for the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro have surfaced on the internet.

These renders were created based on live images of the prototypes according to Max Jambor who is the source. The images show that the OnePlus 9 would have come in Glossy Green and Glossy Silver. Both colorways look like the Aquamarine Green and Lunar Silver OnePlus 8T respectively. Seeing how closely the colors look, we are glad OnePlus went with a different CMF (Color Material Finish) for the final product.

For the OnePlus 9 Pro, the images show a Matte White and a Glossy Black variant of the phone. While OnePlus did release a black version of the OnePlus 9 Pro the CMF is different. However, we definitely would love to see the flagship in Matte White considering quite a number of manufacturers launched their 2021 flagships in this colorway.

All hope isn’t lost as we can’t rule out the possibility of OnePlus announcing new colorways for the two phones before a successor arrives. What colors do you want to see the OnePlus 9 and OnePus 9 Pro come in? Let us know in the comment box below.
