In terms of design, it appears similar to the recently launched OnePlus 15 and 15R, with a square camera deco housing the dual sensors and LED flash at the back. The power and volume buttons are located on the right side of the frame.
The glossy back panel is believed to be made of plastic, which suggests that it may have been produced at a lower cost.
