In a circle, as a square or in a row: When it comes to the camera design on the back of smartphones, cell phone manufacturers are extremely creative, even if the “hot plates” on the iPhone are too a lot of ridicule had to endure. –
The Chinese company OnePlus is now taking a different route: the camera lenses on the back of their concept smartphone are completely invisible – as long as they are not in use. This is made possible by the use of electrochromic glass. It is a technology that enables the color of the glass to be changed electronically.
OnePlus already shows in a video how its concept smartphone works: the three camera lenses, technically those of the current one OnePlus 7T Pro are identical, sit behind the electrochromic glass. If the camera lenses are inactive, they will turn black and thus cover the lenses from both sides. Accordingly, the individual cameras can no longer be recognized. Only when the smartphone uses image information from the camera modules will the electrochromic glass become transparent and the lenses visible again.-
