OnePlus Tipped to Be Working on Foldable Flip Phone With Flagship Camera Feature

OnePlus could be working on a foldable flip phone that could be equipped with a camera that is typically found on flagship smartphones. According to details shared by a Chinese tipster, Oppo and OnePlus could launch new smartphones that feature telephoto and macro cameras. While the former has already released a clamshell-style foldable phone with these camera features, OnePlus could introduce a similar handset that would compete with upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip phones as well as Motorola’s Razr foldable handsets.

A tipster with the username ‘Smart Pikachu’ (translated from Chinese) claims in a Weibo post that Oppo is working on a smartphone with a telephoto and macro camera. The tipster also says that a flagship smartphone from OnePlus will also be equipped with the same camera features. Both companies are yet to announce plans for new clamshell-style foldable phones.

OnePlus has launched only one foldable phone to date — the OnePlus Open. This was rebadged version of the Oppo Find N3. If Oppo decides to launch the Find N5 Flip — the purported successor to the Find N3 Flip — OnePlus could also launch a flip foldable phone with similar specifications. This handset could compete with handsets from Motorola or Samsung.

Launched in India in October last year, the Oppo Find N3 Flip runs on Android 13-based ColorOS 13 out-oof-the-box. The handset runs on a 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 9200 chip with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 inbuilt storage. It sports a 6.8-inch LTPO AMOLED inner screen and a 3.26-inch AMOLED cover display.

The Find N3 Flip was also the first (and is currently) the only clamshell-style foldable phone to be equipped with a triple rear camera setup comprising 50-megapixel primary camera, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide angle camera and a 332-megapixel telephoto camera. The phone also packs a 4,300mAh battery with 44W SuperVOOC charging support.

OnePlus Open Foldable Confirmed to Launch “Soon”, Might Debut on October 19

OnePlus Open — the first foldable smartphone from OnePlus might go official soon. OnePlus, during an event on Wednesday (September 20), announced that its first-ever foldable smartphone will be launched soon without confirming the moniker. The date is also yet to be officially confirmed by the brand, but a fresh leak suggests that the OnePlus Open will go official on October 19. The OnePlus Open is expected to run on an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, paired with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of inbuilt storage.

OnePlus, during the TechCrunch Disrupt 2023 event in San Francisco, California, confirmed that its first-ever foldable smartphone will be launched soon. OnePlus claims that the new device is “set to redefine the concept of foldable smartphones by delivering all-around flagship-level experiences in a compact foldable form factor”. OnePlus assured that more details regarding the device “will be available soon on the official OnePlus website, OnePlus forums, and social media channels”. Although the company has not confirmed the moniker “OnePlus Open” this time, it was teased a few months ago.

Meanwhile, known tipster Max Jambor (@MaxJmb) on X (formerly Twitter) claimed that the OnePlus Open will be launched on October 19. Previously, it was reported that OnePlus would release the foldable phone in August, but this date was reportedly pushed back due to the company’s last-minute decision to ditch the BOE display and switch over to Samsung panels.

The OnePlus Open is expected to come with an outward folding design similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, Pixel Fold, and Vivo X Fold 2. It is said to debut as a derivative of the Oppo Find N2. It might debut in China first and then see a global release in markets including India and the US.

OnePlus has revealed that it has been working on a foldable smartphone for some time now. It is tipped to be priced under Rs. 1,20,000.

OnePlus Open specifications (expected)

The OnePlus Open is rumoured to be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, coupled with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of inbuilt storage. It is said to feature a 7.8-inch 2K AMOLED inner display and a 6.3-inch AMOLED cover screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz.

For optics, the OnePlus Open is tipped to get a triple rear camera unit, including a 50-megapixel sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS), a 48-megapixel sensor with an ultra-wide lens, and a 32-megapixel sensor with a periscope lens. For selfies, it might include two 32-megapixel front camera sensors.
