To showcase and develop the technology, OnePlus has collaborated with McLaren for the third time in a row. The company claims that the device will provide users with a "burdenless" user experience. This new technology will also provide a new form of camera design that differs from the current camera layouts. (Express Photo: Nandagopal Rajan)
The glass used in the OnePlus Concept One is made up of organic particles to create changes in transparency. This helps reveal the camera lenses, by instantly shifting from opaque black to entirely clear. With CMF, the company claims that they can provide users with a clean, unbroken surface when not in use. The CMF glass also doubles as a polarizing filter, providing users sharper and more finely detailed shots. (Express Photo: Nandagopal Rajan)
