Samsung introduced the groundbreaking Samsung Galaxy Fold in 2019, making it the pioneer of mainstream folding phones. Despite Samsung's dominance in this realm, other companies have also made their mark. Over the years, Motorola, Google, and now OnePlus have all unveiled their own foldable smartphones. Enter the OnePlus Open, which has recently been announced after months of speculation, leaks, and teasers from OnePlus. This device features a 6.31-inch cover screen and expands to reveal a robust 7.82-inch foldable display. OnePlus takes pride in its hinge design, boasting a streamlined structure with only 69 components, significantly fewer than the industry average of over 100 parts. With a wider design compared to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold lineup, OnePlus showcases its relationship with Oppo, its parent company, known for the Oppo Find N, a similarly designed foldable phone that made waves in 2021.
The OnePlus smartphone is equipped with a robust Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, providing powerful performance. It offers a massive 16GB RAM and a spacious 512GB storage capacity.
