Unveiling the OnePlus 6, a smartphone that embodies the perfect blend of innovation, aesthetics, and user-centric design. This article delves into the inspiration, unique properties, and design process of this award-winning device.

The OnePlus 6, designed by the OnePlus Industrial Design Lab, is a smartphone that stands out in the crowded market. Inspired by the sleek lines of a car body, the design of this device presents a feeling of speed and vigor.

The design process involved several rounds of investigation and research, with physical 3D models of every edition made after the appearance design style was confirmed. Multiple rounds of research on different types of users were conducted to extract key words proposed by users in the researches, thus adjusting close to good design.

Despite the challenges faced in the iterative design needs in product realization and technical issues in mass production, the OnePlus Industrial Design Lab team successfully overcame these obstacles. The result is a product that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also user-oriented and burden-free.

In conclusion, the OnePlus 6 is a testament to the OnePlus Industrial Design Lab's commitment to innovation and design. It is no surprise that this smartphone was awarded Platinum in the A' Digital and Electronic Device Design Award in 2019. The OnePlus 6 is indeed a masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of art, science, design, and technology, making the world a better place.
