OnePlus’ latest concept phone changes color to ‘breathe’ with the user
Back in January, OnePlus showed off its first concept phone. The aptly (if plainly) named Concept One sported color-shifting glass, giving the effect of an “invisible camera” on the rear of the device. The concept wasn’t particularly useful if anything it was a fun diversion from boring old phone updates.
From that standpoint, the OnePlus 8T Concept is more of the same. It’s not particularly useful as far as smartphone updates go and more to the point, there’s absolutely zero guarantee this technology will ever make it onto an actual phone. Once again, the headlining technology has more to do with how the phone looks than how it actually functions.
OnePlus 8T Concept revealed with eye-catching color-changing glass

From time to time, smartphone manufacturers like to show off concept devices, and OnePlus is no exception. The company revealed the OnePlus Concept One earlier this year with electrochromic glass that hid the rear-facing camera lenses when they weren’t in use, and now it’s showing off a new concept device called the OnePlus 8T Concept. This new device takes things a step further than the Concept One, as the OnePlus 8T Concept features color changing glass on the back.
Specifically, the OnePlus 8T Concept uses something called Electronic Color, Material and Finish (ECMF) and contains a special color-changing film underneath the back glass. The metal oxides in that film change colors from dark blue to light silver as voltage changes, and when paired with a mmWave radar sensor, it allows the OnePlus 8T Concept to do some pretty cool things.
