OnePlus 8T phone changes color

 Plenty of phones have a special back panel with a colourful gradient or shimmering effect. Very few, however, actually change color altogether. (Not without a case or Dbrand-style skin, anyway.) 

The OnePlus 8T Concept is different, though. The experimental phone has a stylish pattern on the back that can switch between light silver and dark blue. According to OnePlus, the design relies on a special film “that contains metal oxide in glass,” with “the valence state of the metal ions varying under different voltages.” So whenever the metal oxide activates, the color of the pattern changes, reflecting the “multi-hued flowing water,” an explainer supplied by OnePlus claims.

I know what you’re thinking: okay, so what? Well, OnePlus believes that the film could become a genuinely useful part of the phone. The company claims the pattern can be used in combination with millimeter wave (mmWave), the same technology underpinning 5G, to change color on command. That means the pattern could change colors or alternate quickly to indicate an incoming call. OnePlus says a mmWave radar module could enable the user to accept or reject the call without touching the device. The company even suggests that the module could track and, through the film, replicate your breathing, “effectively making the phone a biofeedback device.”

The OnePlus 8T Concept is, of course, a concept phone, so I wouldn’t expect to buy one anytime soon. It follows the Concept One, another experimental phone that used electrochromic glass to hide the rear-facing camera. OnePlus says the new device was created by OnePlus Gaudí, a team of 39 designers based in Shenzhen, Taipei, New York and India. At the very least, it shows that the company is focused on more than blazingly-fast performance. To stay at the front of the Android pack, it’ll eventually need to innovate in other ways, or risk being surpassed by rival manufacturers that are willing to invest more into speculative R&D projects.

Right now no OnePlus Smartphones supports 8K at 30fps, even the Galaxy S20 series supports 8K at 24fps. Only a very few smartphones supports 8K at 30Fps right now. The Current Chipset 865 and upcoming CPU 875 5G do supports 8K at 30Fps, but the Camera sensor OnePlus is using right now the IMX586 is not capable of 8K video recording, even the IMX689 there's no confirmation if it can record 8K at 30Fps.

More than decent phone for the money. Battery Life seems good, processor keeps up with me, no annoying lags or bugs noticed. I'm not a camera user so can't comment on the photos it takes. Nokia 5.3 Price: € 159.51, £ 139.99

4. Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC

5. TCL 10L

One of the budget phones TCL has released, it's nice to see that the TCL 10L looks higher-quality than many other similarly-priced handsets. Its 6.53-inch screen is large for a budget phone, yet the bezels are pretty thin, and the punch-hole housing the selfie lens in the top-left corner is modestly small.

TCL unveiled its 10 series smartphones, featuring the TLC 10 Pro, the TCL 10 5G and the TCL 10L. They're an interesting mix of specs and features (the Pro has an inferior chipset to the non-Pro), with a release scheduled for Q2 of the year (the release of the TCL 10 5G is still unknown) and a price range of €250-€450.

They're also likely to make it to several carriers in North America, Europe, the UK and Australia.
