One plus designer provided an undisclosed photo of one plus 7 tons of gold prototype.

One plus designer Hao ran thanked him, and an undisclosed photo of a golden prototype of OnePlus7T appeared on the Internet. The designer took it to Sina Weibo on Twitter and showed the golden version of "one plus 7T", which was obviously cancelled.

One plus is not a simple and boring rose gold solution, but a yellow gold plus 7T under development. In culture, gold is a symbol of prosperity and nobility. The idea of "one plus 7T" was cancelled and replaced by glacier blue and frosted silver.

It is not clear why the one plus 7T gold medal was cancelled, but as the designer pointed out, it is not the only reason. In fact, ran revealed that the team had seen several colors before choosing the last two color schemes. High-tech companies like Yi Jia conduct a lot of internal tests before the equipment is finalized, which is the norm in the industry as a whole.

In many cases, the brand decides to cancel the entire product instead of shipping it to consumers. Microsoft launched Surface Mini with Surface Pro 3 as early as 2014, but decided to cancel the device a few weeks before the release.

Apple also decided not to release the AirPower, which was first announced in 2017. In a statement provided by Apple to TechCrunch, AirPower could not release a revolutionary wireless charging board because it could not meet its high standards. Similarly, Oppo is reported to have cancelled a collapsible smartphone that is very similar to Huawei's Mate X.
