The OnePlus 9 Pro will be available in a trick mirror finish
July 28, 2025
Phone makers are increasingly relying onclever finishesto sell you on their latest handsets, and that includes OnePlus. The company hasdetailedone of the colors for theOnePlus 9 Pro, Morning Mist, and it’s clear this isn’t just a fanciful name for “silver.”
The new OnePlus 9 color revolves around a combination of a film and reflective glass that produce a gradient refraction. While the finish starts at 60 degrees of diffusion (hence the “mist”) at the top of the phone, it shifts to a more mirror-like 20 percent toward the bottom. You’ll get some reflection, then, but the company is aiming for a more ghostly look than astraightforward mirror finishwould provide.
It’s not certain if OnePlus will talk about other colors, although we wouldn’t be surprised to hear more in the days running up to the 9 series’ debut on March 23. Leaks previously suggested the phones will come in everything from a vivid baby blue through to subtlegreen and purple shades, but it wasn’t apparent how (if at all) silver and black might stand out.

You’re probably more interested in the functionality of the phone, such as those can’t-miss-it Hasselblad cameras or theSnapdragon 888chip. Moreover, there’s a good chance any color choices will go unappreciated by users putting the OnePlus 9 Pro in cases. If you’re determined to show off your phone, though, you might just be pleased.
