OnePlus Shows Off a Phone With a Disappearing Rear Camera

Chinese smartphone brand OnePlus has created a new prototype phone, the OnePlus Concept One, that includes a disappearing rear camera.

OnePlus is working with British automotive manufacturer McLaren to take the same glass technology found in high-end car sunroofs and aircraft windows and use it in a smartphone.

The camera lens on the back of the phone sits under this special glass, the tint of which changes when the glass is triggered by an electrical signal.

No word on when the feature will be available on future phones.

This startup company says it can charge your phone using radio waves

A new startup company created out of the California Institute of Technology says that it’s figured out how to create real wireless charging in a cheap, portable and efficient way.

Guru has created a wireless charging system that transmits electricity using the millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency that will make up the future 5G bandwidth in the US.

That means it could be possible that our future smartphones, and many other devices, would charge straight from radio signals streaming through the air all over the country.
