OnePlus concept from years ago is almost identical to the Pixel 6

The Google Pixel 6's camera design, when it was revealed, caused a big impact. It was received as something radically innovative, Apparently, though, there's a precedent for this. On Monday (09/08), one of OnePlus' industrial designers posted on Weibo an image of an unused concept smartphone with a rear design that's almost identical to the Pixel 6.

“I remembered this from my colleague. It was a concept model made for the 7th generation after the 6th generation in 17-18. It was very strange at the time, but now it looks quite futuristic,” he commented, in your post. According to him, the concept that may have inspired Google would be used in the OnePlus 7.

Similarities

The most surprising thing for those who look at the OnePlus concept and the Pixel 6, which Google decided to make commercial, is the layout of the rear optical assembly. It is formed by a horizontal bar with the sensors positioned side by side, and has a certain protrusion.

The bar also features a different color than the rest of the smartphone's body, another feature adopted by Google in the Pixel 6. The difference between the models is that Google's, which effectively won the market, has fewer camera lenses than OnePlus' concept. The question that remains in the air, however, is: "After all, who copied who?"

No Google executive has commented on the OnePlus industrial designer's post to confirm or deny that the Pixel 6 was inspired by the concept that never came to fruition. But the similarity is truly striking.

By the way, speaking of the OnePlus 7, more precisely about the model that was launched, and not about the concept that looks like the Google Pixel 6, the latest news are not positive. OnePlus 7 and 7T phones have started experiencing issues after the Android 11 update, with complaints flooding a social media page Reddit, which already has more than 390 comments. In addition, cell phone owners are also using the official forum of the brand to make their complaints, which are not few.
