OnePlus teased theOnePlus Concept Onesmartphone earlier.
It is finally here to take the showcase.
It is OnePlus used to be quiet at CES.
But things have changed recently, and they broke the silence with theOnePlus Concept One.
The key highlight of the smartphone is its disappearing camera.
It shows us that OnePlus is pushing itself towards innovative tech.
It may launch later or may not launch at all.

The OnePlus Concept One uses a technology called electrochromic glass.
It is just a OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren edition with this new electrochromic glass.
So how does it work?
The electrochromic glass used in luxury vehicles where the sunroofs transparency is controlled by shifting the voltage and current.
OnePlus took cues from the same and started developed its version of the electrochromic glass.
In this case, it is the camera app that triggers the switch.
It is just one step towards the issue.
OnePlus said that other manufacturers would figure out to hide the front cameras very soon.
We already saw this happening on the Oppos concept phone in 2019.
It is because this technology consumes more power and also takes much longer to do the job.
They spent a lot of months thickening the glass to make it fit inside a smartphone.
OnePlus partnered with McLaren to bring the technology from luxury cars like McLaren 720S to smartphones.
It is a big leap for OnePlus since the beginning of its innovative journey.
Interestingly, OnePlus Concept can become semi-transparent as well to act as an ND filter.
It is an exciting feature, but it seems a little unnecessary.
In this age of smartphones, exposure control is done by the cameras software mostly.
Until and unless you are a professional photographer, you would barely use this.
With the addition of electrochromic glass, OnePlus aims to use it in different applications soon.
Conclusion
OnePlus did make its debut at CES 2020 with its OnePlus Concept One.
The question arises regarding the continuation to innovate.
Will OnePlus keep up the same innovative journey with their usual smartphone lineups too?
OnePlus didnt make any commitments regarding the launch of the Concept One or the pricing.
It might not be so long for OnePlus to implement this feature in its upcoming OnePlus 8.
We are genuinely hoping to see this feature on the OnePlus 8 Pro, at least.
Let us know your thoughts about OnePlus Concept One.
