OnePlus presented a conceptual mobile with a rare innovation: rear panel color change. The OnePlus 8T Concept, the name of the phone, would not be ready for sale as it would be a prototype with which to advance future technologies.
OnePlus uses it to prepare various prototypes before launching any of its phones. In them try different models, different material combinations and also various technologies; Your site is deleted or secured on the basis of preliminary tests. In addition, OnePlus usually presents limited versions, also concepts. And this year, she has opted for an effect that attracts strong attention: a back side that changes tone.
Unique design and functions for the OnePlus 8T Concept
The prototype unveiled by OnePlus is built on an “ ordinary ” OnePlus 8T to which several innovations have been added. On the one hand, we have the striking design of the back side, a kind of organic composition that looks like flower petals with the characteristic of changing tone. Thanks to the chemistry inside the rear window (oxide capable of change their physical characteristics with electricity), the OnePlus 8T Concept can change its color between dark blue and silver. It’s perfect for personalizing your phone or letting you know about important notices.
Besides the change of color, which is in itself a great novelty even if it is a pure aesthetic, the OnePlus 8T Concept incorporates mmWave radar to detect the presence close to the hands. OnePlus ensures that you can create ‘up in the air’ gestures that the phone can react to. To accept or reject incoming calls, for example, also as read commands. Something similar to the Pixel 4’s Soli radar.
A final detail included in the OnePlus 8T Concept is the respiration detection using mmWave radar itself, the same that is used for “in the air” gestures. The OnePlus 8T Concept has a photographic module somewhat modified to include radar and which allows detecting someone else’s breathing simply by focusing. It would be worth helping with breathing exercises, this is one of the examples that OnePlus gives.
This concept aims to unite the advanced use of the smartphone and also art. This is not the first conceptual model since almost a year ago OnePlus already showed a mobile whose rear camera has disappeared behind the glass (OnePlus Concept One). As was the case on this occasion, the OnePlus 8T Concept is more of a curiosity than a mobile with a certain history in the store.
