OnePlus 16’s glowing rear lights look even cooler in action
Borrowing a page from Nothing.
Official hands-on videos have finally revealed the OnePlus 16’s “Interstellar Lighting Effect,” a unique design feature that illuminates the phone’s rear with glowing lights. The display utilizes three illumination zones, which emit an orange-yellow light, and can either flash or remain on continuously, depending on incoming alerts such as calls, texts, and game highlights.
This distinctive feature seems to be exclusive to the “Tomorrow’s Starlight” colorway of the OnePlus 16 and is not expected to launch in North America. With just hours since the official unveiling of the device, the hands-on footage offers a clearer picture of how the intricate lighting effect works in practice.
The design, dubbed the "Interstellar Lighting Effect" by OnePlus, mirrors similar notification lighting trends seen in Google's HiLight feature and Nothing's Glyph Matrix. It aims to provide users with a convenient and eye-catching way to stay informed about their device’s activity without needing to glance at the screen.
