OnePlus is preparing another smartphone concept as we approach 2021. This will follow the OnePlus Concept One from earlier this year, which used electrochromic glass technology, which is an evolution of a color-changing glass that gave it to the phone the ability to hide your camera. . The OnePlus 8T Concept goes ahead with the focus on Electronic Color, Material and Finish, or ECMF, to allow the physical design of the phone to interact with you. This will work with reactive sensing technology, a combination of ECMF, and mmWave standards. The way OnePlus envisions this is that there can be a more natural interaction between the user and the phone itself, such as the ability for health statistics such as breathing or to manage incoming calls using hand gestures.
“The ECMF design becomes truly interactive when working in conjunction with mmWave and changes the way we interact with our technology. The principle of operation of this technology, borrowed from 5G, is that the mmWave radar module transmits and receives electromagnetic waves. Upon receiving electromagnetic waves, digital signal processing (DSP) and the CPU perform signal and information processing, allowing the device to perceive, display, locate and track objects, ”says OnePlus. The OnePlus 8T Concept, as the name suggests, carries forward the overall design and inspiration of the OnePlus 8T smartphone form factor. The OnePlus 8T launched in October as the successor to the OnePlus 8
Contactless notifications will be based on the flashing color you will see in the physical design of the phone, and then you can accept or reject the call with hand gestures. MmWave technology can detect a person’s breath, for example, and change the color of the phone’s body according to the breath to provide visual feedback. The company says the inspiration comes from flowing water of various shades in Turkey’s Pamukkale hot springs. The concept has been crafted by a team of 39 designers based in Shenzhen in China, Taipei, New York and India.
As is the standard disclaimer with any phone concept, we don’t know if and when the OnePlus 8T Concept will see the light of day on production lines. That is if it is all.
