Our transition to an era of glass-finish phones is now complete. In spite of a few trade-offs involved, all smartphone makers have unanimously agreed upon glass being the most premium construction material for phones. Even the affordable phones these days that are build of polycarbonate bear glass finish.

Thankfully, not all glass body phones are alike. Manufacturers have been using innovative gradient color patterns to make their phones look distinct, and this surely works. Believe it or not, but a good gradient finish can remarkably uplift the experience of using a phone. This year, we have come across several exciting gradient options and here are the few exquisite finishes that we loved the most.

1. Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus/ Note 10 

Samsung’s latest flagship phablet duo come in many attractive Aura Glow designs. The gradient finish looks akin to the Huawei P30 Pro. You get a hint of multiple colors shifting from one to the other, without being an eyesore. So, this one will even suit those who don’t like fancy color pops.

4. OnePlus 7 Pro

OnePlus always has something exquisite to offer in terms of design. This years’ flagship, the 7 Pro comes has an ingenious Nebula Blue color option that should appeal to both – people looking for something flashy, and those with understated taste.

Also, the glass on the back has been polished for a silky, smooth feel. This smoothness extends to the front, where the 7 Pro brandishes a curved-edge, notch-free display with 90Hz refresh rate, making screen transitions… well, smooth.

5. Huawei P30 Pro

Pioneer in Smartphone gradients, Huawei aced its game with the beautiful gradients on the P30 Pro (review). If we were to use Huawei’s marketing lingo, these patters are inspired by the “ethereal beauty of salt flats” as seen during the different times of the day.

The Amber Sunrise option represents the golden morning, the popular breathing crystal variant summarises the day time salt flat looks when the sun is held high, and the Aurora Black depicts the dark night with shimmering stars.

6. Huawei Mate 20 Pro

Even after almost a year since its launch, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro (Review) continues to be a relevant buy. The phone has powerful hardware that’s still good enough to take on new crop op flagships, and the square camera module that it debuted will be adopted in upcoming big guns including Pixel 4 and the next iPhones.

The Mate 20 Pro is extremely ergonomic and has a grippy textured glass back with subtle gradients inspired by “nature’s rich colors”. These include emerald green, twilight, midnight blue, and Black.

7. Oppo Reno 10X 

Oppo Reno 10X (review) is another smartphone that dopes the gradient finish. The phone has a seamless silhouette filled with mesmerizing iridescent finishes that shifts with every angle. The phone has a matte finish with intricate gloss detailing.

Taking about the Reno 10X boast off a Shark-fin style rising camera which allows Oppo to go full-screen on the front.

9. Vivo S1

Vivo S1 (review) is an affordable phone that prioritizes style and clings on to gradient aesthetic. The phone’s back panel has a diamond pattern design which reflects seamlessly transiting color tones to ensure an elegant impression. Then there’s Skyline Blue version of the phone which as the name suggest inspired from the perfect evening sky.

 

Apart from gradient design, the phone packs decent hardware with FUll HD+ AMOLED screen on the front and MediaTek MT6768 Helio P65 at the heart of it. The Vivo S1 is said to come with a 32-megapixel selfie camera, triple rear camera, FunTouch OS, and  4,500mAh battery.

10. Samsung Galaxy M40

Samsung has consistently delivered amazing colors across its entire portfolio. The rather affordable Galaxy M40 (review) has a glass-finish body and comes in two graceful “two-tone” or gradient options – Midnight blue and Seawater blue. Of these, the Seawater blue looks particularly striking.

The Galaxy M40 is a performance-centric phone and the only affordable option from Samsung to employ a Qualcomm chipset (Snapdragon 675). It’s also light and handy with a trendy punch-hole display, and is, unfortunately, missing the audio jack.
