OnePlus Teases the Name of Its First Foldable Phone; Will Be Called OnePlus Open

OnePlus’s first foldable smartphone has been doing rounds on the Internet for quite some time now. And now, the Chinese smartphone brand has explicitly hinted at the moniker of its first foldable handset on Twitter on July 26. OnePlus, during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) this year confirmed that it is working on a foldable smartphone and assured its release sometime in the third quarter. The Pete Lau-led company also gave us a glimpse of the foldable at its OnePlus 11 launch event. The upcoming handset is expected to challenge Samsung’s latest foldable phones in the market alongside the Google Pixel Fold.

OnePlus’s latest tweet “We OPEN when others FOLD” is an obvious reference to the upcoming foldable smartphone from the company. Although the company has not confirmed anything, it is largely speculated that the OnePlus foldable phone would be called “OnePlus Open“.

We’ve seen multiple leaks and rumours surrounding OnePlus’s foldable smartphone lately with a recent report even claiming that the handset may break cover on August 29. The foldable could be a derivative of the Oppo Find N2. It is expected to arrive with an outward folding design. Reports have also suggested that the foldable will be available in black and green colour options. It might debut in China first and then see a global release in markets including India and the US.

The purported OnePlus Open could run on an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC paired with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of inbuilt storage. It is said to feature a 7.8-inch 2K AMOLED primary display and a 6.3-inch AMOLED cover screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz.

At MWC 2023, OnePlus confirmed that it is working on a foldable handset. The company later teased the device during the OnePlus 11 smartphone launch event. OnePlus Open is expected to be closer in size to the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Pixel Fold, Vivo X Fold 2 and Huawei Mate X3. It could go against the likes of the newly launched Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5.

OnePlus is all set to unveil its first foldable smartphone later this year. The company, at MWC 2023, announced to launch the phone in the third quarter of 2023 and now a new leak also suggests the same. However, the exact launch date has not been confirmed by the company. The phone is likely to compete with Samsung, Oppo, and Motorola in the foldable space. While they already have launched their foldable smartphones in the market, OnePlus is yet to do so.

Reliable tipster Max Jambor (Twitter@ MaxJmb) has tweeted that the OnePlus’ first foldable phone could launch in August 2023.

A few previous leaks and reports regarding the expected specifications have been doing the rounds on the Internet for a while now. According to a report, OnePlus’ first foldable phone could sport a 2K display, similar to the display of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4.

Earlier this year, the phones were also reported to get trademarks as OnePlus V Fold and OnePlus V Flip monikers. This suggests that the company could launch two foldable phones, comprising a conventional (horizontal) folding smartphone and a clamshell foldable smartphone. OnePlus hasn’t yet announced any specifications of its foldable handset so far.

Meanwhile, OnePlus is also reportedly working on a new OnePlus Nord N30. The successor to Nord N20 was spotted on the Google Play Console listing, hinting that the purported Nord N30 could be a rebranded OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G in the US. The handset is speculated to sport a Full HD+ display and come equipped with 8GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 695 SoC.

Google, on Thursday, also took the covers off its upcoming foldable, the Pixel Fold. In a short teaser video posted on Twitter, Google officially revealed Pixel Fold’s design, hinge mechanism, and inner display. The device is expected to launch at Google’s upcoming I/O event on May 10. 


OnePlus recently launched its first tablet in India, the OnePlus Pad, which is only sold in a Halo Green colour option.
