the new oneplus concept one has finally been revealed and i'll be sharing all the
details right after this if you new here want to stay up to date with the latest
tech please hit subscribe followed by the bell
so what many people expected at the oneplus concept one phone it could be
oneplus's first attempt at a folding phone we've known for about a week that
it would be a much more simple concept we had a teaser earlier on in the week
and oneplus have now released an official trailer as well as showing it
off its CES in Las Vegas for anyone that missed it the oneplus concept one
appears to be being branded is the oneplus X McLaren in my last video I
predicted it in this concept phone would just be a oneplus 8 McLaren Edition
and it appears I was correct about McLaren but not about the oneplus 8
the oneplus X McLaren actually shares hardware specs with the oneplus 7t pro
but we do have some differences on the outside and mainly in the camera
department the oneplus concept one takes inspiration from the McLaren 720's we
get a stitch leather in the famous papaya Orange and the glass covering the
camera lenses it uses electrochromic glass to hide the lenses behind it the
electrochromic glass can change between transparent and opaque by running a
current through it which means not only can I hide the lenses when not in use
but we can also use the opaque glass as a neutral density filter in photography
realistically however one of the most common downsides in mobile photography
is not enough light so I don't see this actually ever being used the technology
in the electrochromic glass however has been modified very well to work with a
smartphone and it can make the glass become transparent within 0.7
seconds the frame of the phone is also made of
pure gold unlike the stainless steel or aluminium
frames we're used to seeing now well this is pure gold it's not
actually made of solid gold but it uses physical vapor deposition to add a thin
coating of pure gold to the device again a downside to this however is that gold
is easily scratched so I don't think it would be long until you start to see
this around the edges so what exactly is the oneplus concept
one phone it's simply a showcase of what oneplus want you to see they can do not
necessarily a phone they're going to be delivering that being said if we look at
the specs of the oneplus concept one then it is very much a phone that could find
success in the market today we get a full screen 6 point 6 7 inch fluid
AMOLED display with a 90 Hertz refresh rate the display is running a resolution
of 1440 by 30 120 giving us 516 pixels per inch density and it's all protected
by Gorilla Glass 5 we've got an all screen display thanks to a motorized
pop-out selfie camera that houses a 16 megapixel wide-angle lens with an
aperture of f28 oh and it offers electronic image stabilization on the
rear we get a very premium looking papaya stitch leather and an
electrochromic glass hiding it a triple camera set up the camera setup consists
of a 48 megapixel wide-angle lens with an aperture of f/16 an 8 megapixel
telephoto with three times optical zoom and finally a 16 megapixel ultra wide
camera the cameras can shoot 4k is 60 frames a second at an offer optical
image stabilization along with gyro assisted electronic when it comes to the
chipset it's powered by the Snapdragon 855 plus and one not the latest system
on chip for 2020 it's still a very capable chipset given that it's coupled
with 12 gigs of RAM and 256 storage it makes it a very capable device of course
there's no three and a half mil headphone jack but we do get stereo
speakers along with a four thousand and eighty five milli amp hour battery and
this supports the 30 watt Warp charging the device of course runs Android 10 in
the form of oxygen OS and in my opinion it's an incredible looking device the
main issues here of course is how much battery capacity is wasted on the
electrochromic glass how easily is the gold coating scratched off and how much
do these changes increase the production cost by of course this is a concept
device so they'll likely never even try and sell it but it means that they may
be considering this technology on a future device and of course that they've
proved that they've already mastered as always though I'd like to know your
thoughts in the comments what do you think of the oneplus concept one or oneplus x
McLaren is it's also called would you purchase it if it came to market and how
much would you actually pay for it but thanks for watching the video if you
liked it smash the thumbs up if you didn't hit the thumbs down twice and
I'll see you guys in the next one
