It looks like OnePlus has big plans for its smartphones, as evidenced by the range of great phones it offered in 2019, but also by the fact that it has a mysterious concept phone in the pipeline. , set to be unveiled in early January 2020. This has been confirmed by OnePlus, as the company has confirmed that it will host its own event at CES 2020, an annual tech show in Las Vegas in January, where it is expected to debut with the `` OnePlus One Concept & # 39; # 39;. The announcement of this CES event, and the concept phone, tie in with the company celebrating its sixth anniversary on December 17. A concept phone is a phone that a company shows that it doesn't intend to release on a large scale, or doesn't, but instead is used to get started with the technology it works on. Xiaomi had the Mi Mix Alpha, TCL had its Dragonhinge, and Oppo recently showed off a prototype of an unnamed device; none of these will be widely available, but they show off tons of cool new tech nonetheless.
What do we know about the OnePlus concept phone?
Unfortunately, we don't know much about the phone, but that's partly the purpose. OnePlus is probably hoping to impress us with a load of unexpected new tech. However, we do know this is a phone, as the company explicitly calls it, so people expecting a smartwatch or new true wireless headphones are going to be disappointed. However, we can tell a lot about the context of the phone. As OnePlus says in its press release, the name "Concept One" implies that there will be a Concept Two and so on, suggesting that the company has plans for a series of these prototype headphones. OnePlus describes the phone asmás suave, más rápido '', lo que probablemente se refiere a un conjunto de chips llamativo y una alta frecuencia de actualización para la pantalla, pero la compañía también usa el # 39; adjetivo no load '' & # 39; & # 39 ;. What does that mean? Of course, this is extremely open to interpretation, but it could indicate that the device is foldable. The Motorola Razr is a foldable phone that closes like a case, and you might call it "no load" because it gets so much smaller and easier to store. We'll have to wait to know for sure, but OnePlus also uses the phrase "alternative design approach," which supports this idea. Other evidence, as tangential as it is? The launch event takes place at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas, probably the most collapsible hotel in the city. We're not sure when the OnePlus CES 2020 event will take place, as the company reports it as 'January 7-10, 2020, 10am-5pm,'' which essentially corresponds to the Las Vegas runtime. . Tech show. OnePlus will likely show off the phone at first, then people on the show will be able to try it out for the remaining days. TechRadar will be on the ground at CES 2020 to report on all the tech news and reveals, and you can be sure we'll be reviewing the OnePlus Concept One, so stay tuned for everything you need to know.
