Companies share concepts as a sign of what is coming next from their production line, and often, give us insights on where the industry is going. Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus earlier said that it would showcase its first smartphone concept at the upcoming CES 2020. A new report now claims that the 'concept' OnePlus is talking about is the OnePlus Concept One, which is a foldable smartphone.
The new claim comes from the Korean Herald, which reveals that Oneplus Concept One could be the foldable smartphone from the Chinese smartphone maker. It would be the company's very own version of the foldable device earlier released by Samsung and Huawei, and later by Motorola. Considering the company is not saying anything about this, that is all the information we know for now.

Oneplus Concept One will be announced or unveiled at one of the biggest tech events of the year, and fans are excited if OnePlus could show them more innovative technology and better design, considering that it is indeed a foldable smartphone. It is interesting to see how the Chinese smartphone maker fares with other rivals like Samsung, Huawei, Motorola, Xiaomi, and Oppo. Rumors have it that the upcoming foldable smartphone from OnePlus will feature technology that is not yet available in the market.
100W wired charging and 40W wireless charging are just some of the rumored features of the Oneplus Concept One. Other features earlier speculated include full fingerprint sensors and in-display cameras. CES 2020 is going to be another big event at the start of 2020 since tech titans in the industry are planning to announce their respective products.
Seoul-based tech and electronics giant Samsung is anticipated to launch NEON, which, according to the company, is a human-like artificial intelligence (AI) assistant. The Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite and Galaxy Note Lite are also rumored to be unveiled at the said event. LG, Qualcomm, Sony, AMD, and Intel are also going to the event.
Unfortunately, even the form factor of the Oneplus Concept One is still unknown. It could be a clamshell-like foldable smartphone like that of Motorola Razr 2019. It could also be a tablet-live device like the Samsung Galaxy Fold or Huawei Mate X. For now, these are all speculations, and it remains to be seen what OnePlus means when it says Oneplus Concept One.
CES 2020 is in January, so fans will not wait longer. Since these details are merely speculations, we recommend taking this with a pinch of salt and with skepticism.
