OnePlus has presented its OnePlus 8T Concept. That is a special edition of the 8 T finished with ‘Electronic Color, Material and Finish’ (ECMF). The back can therefore change color.

OnePlus 8T Concept

Last year, OnePlus launched the Concept One, a phone with a camera that makes its camera lens disappear when not in use. OnePlus has now further refined the technology and the company is now showing that with the OnePlus 8T Concept. The company says this in a press release to our editorial staff.

As with the Concept One, OnePlus uses a special color-changed layer of metal oxide that is incorporated in the glass at the back of the 8T Concept. When the phone receives an electrical signal, the smartphone can take on a different color. The final color then depends on the precise tension, changing from the dark blue shade to a light gray color.

OnePlus also talks about applications in combination with mmWave, which is a technology we know from 5G. A smartphone could function as a respiratory monitor with the color changing color synchronously with each breath.
