[CES 2020] OnePlus Concept One Unveiled: Disappearing Cameras & Premium Design

OnePlus doesn’t plan to launch any smartphones until March, but the company still has an impressive appearance at the ongoing CES 2020. Today, OnePlus has introduced its first smartphone concept, called OnePlus Concept One.

This is a really interesting idea of ​​OnePlus, suggesting how future smartphones will be designed. OnePlus’ Concept One is equipped with an entirely new technology, called tinted glass (also known as electrochemical glass).

With this technology, the glass layer above the camera goes dark when not in use. But when the camera app is turned on, the glass becomes completely transparent. It only takes 0.7 seconds for the glass to turn from opaque to transparent.

As a result, OnePlus may not need to worry that the smartphone design has too many camera lenses, causing discomfort for users. Because when not in use, these camera lenses will be hidden and completely disappear. The design of future smartphones will become much more perfect.

To make Concept One's super-premium design, OnePlus has partnered with the famous automotive manufacturer McLaren. The back glass of the smartphone is replaced by a high-grade leather, which is the leather used in the interior of the McLaren 720S supercar.

In terms of specifications, Concept One is quite similar to the OnePlus 7T Pro smartphone, with a pop-up selfie camera, Snapdragon 855+ processor, 12GB RAM, and 256GB storage.

Despite introducing it at CES 2020, OnePlus has no intention of producing and selling this smartphone. The Concept One only exists and was introduced for the sole purpose of showing everyone the technology that may appear on future smartphones.

That means that the disappearing camera design could be used by OnePlus on its smartphones in the future.
