Yeah, OnePlus is doing something new this year.

OnePlus is unveiling a phone here at CES,

but you're not gonna be able to go and buy it.

And the idea behind this phone, with its black glass strip

and its orange papaya stitched leather body

is that they can hide the cameras with this glass

The idea is that it just makes the phone look nicer,

because instead of seeing a bunch of camera lenses,

OnePlus says that they can switch between opaque

to open the camera app in the first place.

But this new technology has a practical use too

because you can set it to be a neutral density filter.

you have to go into Pro Mode on the camera app.

When you do, you'll see a little button that says ND8.

You tap that, and it toggles the density filter on and off.

You can't adjust how, you know, strong or opaque it is,

but you could see a little bit of a difference.

Obviously, we're gonna need to fully test this thing

but of course, we can't fully test this thing

It's opaque, but it's not like opaque opaque.

If you tilt the phone around in the light a little bit,

even when the thing is supposed to cover the camera lenses,

you can still kinda see the camera lenses from time to time.

OnePlus says that they have to do a lot more testing

before they can put it on a real production phone.

There's a lot of extra work that they have to do,

They've been developing this thing for 18 months

just so that they can cover up the camera lenses on a phone.

And that might be necessary later on in the future

when we get to four, five, six camera lenses

I mean, we saw a TV that rotates into portrait mode,

So let's talk about how this actually works.

and then inside is an electrochromic layer

that can switch from transparent to opaque

to develop this technology and shrink it down to phones.

And shrinking it down is actually what took a lot of work.

and they had to get the electrochromic layer really,

really thin, and they had to make it all work faster

than it usually does when it's just on a sunroof.

So again, they say it can happen in .7 seconds,

and they manage to make this glass .35 millimeters thick,

and the fastest electrochromic panel ever.

to be able to cover up your camera lenses

is to convince you that OnePlus does innovation
