The OnePlus 9 series smartphones come with the company’s new retail box that is designed to be a bit bigger in terms of length. While the packaging looks decent, there was also an alternative packaging, as revealed by OnePlus CEO Pete Lau.
Pete Lau has shared an image on Twitter showcasing an alternative packaging of the OnePlus 9 series. However, it’s not yet clear if the company had ever considered using that or if it plans to do so going forward.
The new packaging showcased by Pete Lau doesn’t have a retail box to keep the device inside. Instead, it uses plastic and has a very minimal design, similar to what you get when buying a pendrive.
The smartphone is secured behind a transparent package on the right side while the left side of the packaging mentions the key features of the device. There is no room for a charger or additional accessories. It also has a hook at the top which can be used to hand the product for display.
Along with sharing the image of this packaging, Pete Lau has added that the company is not giving up the “stylish red box” which confirms that we won’t be getting this new packaging when buying any OnePlus smartphone.
OnePlus recently officially merged with OPPO and will now act as a sub-brand of the China-based smartphone manufacturer. The announcement wasn’t surprising given that both the companies were merging several of their operations since last year.
