Day 5: Speed in all its forms
View attachment 1739240
We often talk about speed – the OS, charging, high refresh rate, 5G. Well, the OnePlus 8 Series has it all. This was also a set of devices filled with many firsts: It was our first full 5G lineup, our first 120 Hz display, and it was also the first time we extended our Warp Charge technology to wireless charging, on the 8 Pro.
But what captured my attention on this device was something else entirely: one of its CMF (Color, Material, Finish).

I've always been a sucker for frosted glass finish, with its not-metal-but-kinda-feels-like-it vibe, so you'd think my preference would go to the Glacial Green or Ultramarine Blue finishes. While those two are beautiful in their own way, but one other finish was the one that caught my eye: Interstellar Glow.

There was just something about its many colors that made this finish one of my all-time favorites. While I eventually turned to the OnePlus 8 Pro for its better specs, I always thought 'what if...'.
CMFs are always something I look forward to with each release. The colors, the materials, the finish, all combined for an experience that is the sum of its parts. There have been many different ones across the years. So, I ask,
