OnePlus Concept One feature teaser: invisible camera

We still don’t know if the OnePlus Concept One will be a foldable phone or not, but the latest teaser from the company reveals a unique “invisible camera” based on color-shifting glass.

We’re bringing the #OnePlusConceptOne to #CES2020, but you don’t have to wait: you can get a sneak peek at it right here, along with its groundbreaking “invisible camera” and color-shifting glass technology. pic.twitter.com/elsV9DKctn

The camera lenses are concealed under what appears to be dimmable glass – basically a one pixel LCD. The tech is apparently borrowed from the optional sunroof on the McLaren 720S (and other models). This will make for a sleek design, especially now that multi-camera setups have made phones to look bug-eyed.

Here’s a peak at how it works:
 

The OnePlus Concept One will be revealed at CES 2020 on January 7. As the name suggests, this device will not be commercially available but the OnePlus 8 may sport an invisible camera (probably without the leather back, though). Renders of the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro show a glass back and triple and quad cameras, respectively.
