SmartPrix/Steve Hemmerstoffer Update, July 14, 2023 (5:20 AM ET): In this comprehensive OnePlus Open rumor hub, we bring you the latest updates on the highly anticipated foldable phone from OnePlus. This article will provide you with all the information you need to know about the device’s launch date, software, and key features.
OnePlus is set to make its entry into the foldable phone market later this year. After observing the successes and failures of its competitors, the company is well-positioned to create an impressive foldable device. Its parent company, OPPO, has already released three foldable phones, providing OnePlus with valuable insights. The upcoming OnePlus foldable, rumored to be named the OnePlus Open, is expected to be a premium flagship device with cutting-edge features.
Will there be a OnePlus foldable phone? Absolutely. OnePlus first hinted at the launch of its foldable phone during the OnePlus 11 event in 2023. Subsequently, the company confirmed its plans to release a foldable device at MWC 2023 in February. Therefore, there is no doubt that we will witness the launch of the OnePlus Fold (or whatever it will be called) this year.
Speaking of the name, the OnePlus foldable was initially referred to as the OnePlus Fold or the OnePlus V Fold. However, a recent leak suggested that the device might be named the OnePlus Open. This name is seen as more promising and less of a placeholder compared to “OnePlus Fold.”
When will the OnePlus Open be released? While OnePlus has not disclosed the exact release date yet, it has confirmed that the launch will take place in the second half of this year. The company has hinted at a Q3 launch, and recent leaks suggest that the device might be unveiled as early as the first half of August or on August 26.
The OnePlus Open is expected to be launched globally, including in markets like the US, India, and the UK. However, its availability in other European countries might be subject to variation due to legal battles with Nokia and subsequent market limitations.
Moving on to the features and specifications, the OnePlus Open will follow a book-style foldable format rather than a clamshell design. Leaked renders showcase the device’s slim profile, flat edges, and a pleather back for a comfortable grip. The device will feature a circular camera cutout on the back, housing three cameras with Hasselblad branding. There will also be punch-hole cutouts on both the main display and the cover display.
In terms of specifications, the OnePlus Open is expected to be a flagship device. It will boast a 7.8-inch 2K AMOLED main display and a 6.3-inch AMOLED cover display. Both screens are likely to support a 120Hz refresh rate. The device will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and come with 16GB of RAM. It is rumored to have 256GB of internal storage, with the possibility of additional storage options. The device is expected to feature a 4,800mAh battery with 67W fast charging. The availability of wireless charging has not been confirmed yet. As for the camera setup, the OnePlus Open might include a 48MP primary sensor, a 48MP ultrawide sensor, and a 64MP telephoto sensor. The cover screen could house a 32MP selfie camera, while the main display might feature a 20MP selfie snapper.
The device is likely to ship with Android 13-based Oxygen OS 13.1, with a potential upgrade to Android 14 in the future. There have also been rumors of the software being named Oxygen OS Fold, which could share similarities with OPPO’s Color OS for foldable devices.
Regarding the price, as this will be OnePlus’ first foldable phone, it is difficult to predict the exact cost. However, considering OPPO’s pricing strategy with its foldable devices, it is expected that the OnePlus Open will be priced above $1,000. A price range of around $1,500 could be reasonable, depending on OnePlus’ sales goals.
In conclusion, the OnePlus Open is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the foldable phone market. With its premium features, sleek design, and OnePlus’ reputation for delivering a fast and smooth user experience, this device has the potential to make waves in the industry. Stay tuned for more updates on the OnePlus Open as we await its official launch.
