Ahead of its debut at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023 in Barcelona, Spain next week, OnePlus has offered the world first sneak peek of its OnePlus 11 Concept phone. The images shared with us by the company reveals a larger camera island compared to the regular OnePlus 11 and luminous strips on the phone’s rear. The phone’s back is completely covered in blue light stripes, which also around the camera island.
According to OnePlus press release, the company describe it as a phone:
With a flowing back, which encases its engineering breakthrough in a bold and futuristic unibody glass design inspired by the calm stillness of a glacial lake that harbours a vast reservoir of power underneath.
You can see the icy blue pipelines that run through the entire back of the phone. It’s like OnePlus 11 Concept has its own series of blood vessels.
Those “blood vessels” are “sealed micro liquid pipelines” according to OnePlus. It will be intriguing to see how the OnePlus 11 Concept works and whether the light strips function similarly to the Nothing Phone 1 or whether they have a different function, such as actively cooling the phone.
Pete Lau, the CEO of OnePlus, also shared a teaser video for the OnePlus 11 Concept. Lau claims that the phone will introduce “an industry-first technology”, I guess we will have to wait and see what does that mean next week.
DId you know, this is not the first OnePlus Concept phone? Back in January 2020, during CES 2020, OnePlus debuted its OnePlus Concept One with the first phone ever to use colour-shifting glass technology (electrochromic glass technology), giving it an “invisible camera.”
They also collaborated with McLaren, the famous British supercar company, to create the design.
