OnePlus: Concept Phone with Disappearing Camera

OnePlus is all set to introduce its concept cellphone at the forthcoming 2020 International CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas next week and the China-based firm has begun to tease the gadget, which will likely be referred to as OnePlus Concept One.

In a tweet, OnePlus has revealed that the OnePlus Concept One will come geared up with “a groundbreaking invisible digital camera and color-shifting glass technology”

Which means that the OnePlus Concept One’s digital camera array will likely be lined with a bit of particular glass that’s usually discovered on high-end automobile sunroofs and plane home windows. Known as electrochromic glass, it’s able to alter its opacity when an electrical sign passes by means of the panel.

So when the cameras are inactive, the glass stays opaque. However as soon as you launch the digital camera app, it turns translucent and the cameras magically reveal.

The concept probably stemmed from OnePlus’ longtime partnership with McLaren. The OnePlus Concept One itself is designed in collaboration with the supercar producer and the remainder of the cellphone’s aesthetic echoes that as well. Much like different McLaren-branded OnePlus mobile phones, the Concept One has a papaya orange leather-based with visual stitching across the edges. A slender part of electrochromic glass runs by means of the center of the cellphone all the way down to the bottom.

Nevertheless, for now, OnePlus says the ConceptOne will stay an idea and may not hit the market anytime soon.

“With this strategy, we’ll have the ability to produce smaller quantities of the product and, with suggestions from a small group of customers, have a look at the potential of making a tool that’s obtainable for customers extra extensively,”
