Tomorrow OnePlus will reveal a new device that’s neither a phone nor a commercial product and fans are itching to see what’s in store.
Last month the Shenzhen firm’s UK Twitter account reached out for feedback from fans about a “special project” – it’s presumed this is exactly what OnePlus is planning to lift the lid on tomorrow.
The firm said: “We’re working on a special project (not a phone/commercial product!) and we’d love your thoughts on it.
“Reply to this tweet with waving hand emoji if you’re happy to give feedback, and we’ll DM a small number of you some photos.”
A couple of weeks later, OnePlus posted a teaser video for the “special project”, although it certainly doesn’t give much away.
The clip is mysterious and cryptic to say the least. It shows a bunch of mechanical parts from various angles and teases the date March 3 for a complete reveal.
There’s much speculation as to what the mechanical materials are actually for. We’re betting they have something to do with a new collaboration between the tech giant and British motor racing team McLaren.
However, the parts shown in the video also look like the internals of a watch from some angles. So really, all bets are off the table with this new announcement from OnePlus.

The only thing that’s certain is this won’t be the OnePlus 8 series many Android fans are expecting to debut in the coming months.
OnePlus is certainly no stranger to showing off exciting new technologies in a concept form. After all, it was only back in January the firm announced the OnePlus Concept One – the first handset in the world to use colour-shifting glass technology allowing it to effectively hide its cameras from view.
The Chinese firm collaborated with McLaren to engineer the Concept One – the technology used is similar to that present in the racing team’s 720S luxury sports car that has a glass roof that can adjust its level of tint and the amount of light it lets through.

Disappearing cameras aside, the OnePlus Concept One boasts a rear made of glass and leather, the latter of which is decorated with McLaren’s iconic papaya orange colour.
