OnePlus has offered limited color options for its recent flagship models like the OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro. The OnePlus 7T comes in just two colors: Frosted Black and Glacier Blue. The 7T Pro comes in just a single color variant: Haze Blue. But these weren’t the only color options that were being tested while developing the two smartphones.

Today, we have got a glimpse of the Metallic Gold OnePlus 7T, a color that was tested but never released for the device. The image was shared by OnePlus‘ product designer Hao Ran on Weibo.

I’ll be honest. After seeing the OnePlus 7T in the dark Glacier Blue and Frosted Silver color options over the past few months, the Metallic Gold color comes as a breath of fresh air. The gold color isn’t as bright as some shades and seems to have a finish similar to that of the Glacier Blue which changed its shade based on the ambient lighting.

Still, metallic gold can come off as a bit flashy for some people, which is probably why OnePlus decided not to release it alongside the blue and black color options for the device at launch.

While we probably won’t get such a fancy color option for the 7T, we would like to see new color options like red or even almond (like the 7 Pro). We also wouldn’t mind seeing something as funky as Meizu’s Tropical Orange or maybe Smartisan’s shade of green.

So what do you think of the Gold OnePlus 7T? Like it or hate it?
