OnePlus is slowly nearing the launch of the OnePlus 8 series which is expected to go official in the next few months. In the meantime, the company has planned a surprise announcement for March 3.
OnePlus India has tweeted a mysterious video teasing the upcoming announcement. The cryptic tweet doesn't reveal much except for the March 3 announcement date. You can view the clip below.

What is OnePlus planning?
As you can see, there's a bunch of mechanical stuff going on in the teaser video. If we had to venture a guess, we'd say this has something to do with OnePlus' partnership with McLaren.
The collaboration between the two brands has already seen the launch of phones like the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition and the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition. We also recently saw the two companies partner up for the OnePlus Concept One smartphone with the so-called invisible camera setup.
In this instance, the teaser video is reminiscent of the various components of McLaren's F1 racing cars. OnePlus UK further broke down the video teaser into images which reveal something that looks like a camera lens.

Since OnePlus and McLaren already have a strong relationship, we wouldn't be surprised if they show off some sort of camera concept tech for McLaren cars.
Then again, a number of people on Twitter think this could be the inside of a watch, a category we haven't seen OnePlus explore just yet.
Honestly, it's too difficult to guess what OnePlus has in store. Since it has already ruled out a phone or any other commercial product, this could just be a marketing stunt to further advertise the company's tie-up with McLaren.
