The OnePlus One Concept has finally been showcased at the CES 2020 trade show and unfortunately for some of you, it doesn’t feature a foldable form factor, but the traditional ‘candy-bar’ shape instead. However, it sports a couple of interesting technologies, which we feel become a standard for future smartphones. For starters, it sports an electrochromic glass, which we’ll explain in detail what exactly it does.

The OnePlus Concept One’s biggest attraction is the use of that electrochromic glass. Some of you won’t know this, but it’s the technology that turns glass opaque. If this doesn’t sound familiar, you’ll notice it in luxury airplanes and fancy hotels. The primary use of this electrochromic glass is to hide the cameras in the phone. The idea might seem dull to a lot of people, but it gives the phone a cleaner look. After all, nearly all smartphones today have that bump which to some, is a bit unsightly to look at. Perhaps using this technology and helping the rear cameras sit flush with the phone’s backside will help to make cleaner and premium phones in the future.
