Yes, it was indeed a significant day for Samsung with the grand unveiling of the Galaxy Z Fold5, Galaxy Z Flip5, Galaxy Watch6 family, and the Galaxy Tab S9 line. The Korean company showcased its latest innovations in a massive event held in its home country.
It appears that OnePlus’ first foldable smartphone will indeed be named OnePlus Open, as rumored earlier. The use of “Fold” in their tweet indicates that it will directly compete with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold5, not the Flip5. The OnePlus Open is expected to be officially announced in New York at the end of August. Leaked CAD-based renders suggest its design resembles the upcoming Oppo Find N3. It is likely that the OnePlus Open will serve as the global version of the Find N3, which may remain exclusive to the Chinese market. Exciting times ahead for OnePlus enthusiasts!
According to leaks and rumors, the OnePlus Open is expected to feature a 6.3-inch AMOLED cover screen with FHD+ resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. It may include a 20 MP selfie camera within a hole-punch cutout. The main display is rumored to be a 7.8-inch LTPO AMOLED with a resolution likely around 1,900 x 2,100 and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The front-facing camera on the main screen is speculated to be 32 MP.
The smartphone is likely to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The main and ultrawide cameras are expected to be similar to the ones found in the OnePlus 11, while the third module may feature a 64 MP telephoto camera. The OnePlus Open is rumored to house a 4,800 mAh battery with 67W fast charging support. These specifications promise a powerful and impressive foldable device from OnePlus.
