While tech giant OnePlus has made a name for itself by offering affordable high-end features, it now competes directly with rivals like Apple and Samsung.
OnePlus Open, the company’s first foldable phone based in Shenzhen, is preparing to be released to compete with devices such as Galaxy Z Fold5. However, it may not be released at the end of August as previously predicted.
OnePlus Open release will likely be delayed
According to journalist Max Jambor’s claim, the news that OnePlus Open will be released at the end of August is now facing a delay. Not satisfied with the performance of the screen provided by the Chinese company BOE, OnePlus is testing with display panels from Samsung to fix this situation that caused the launch to be delayed.
OnePlus Open’s lag reason is BOE display performance
The OnePlus Open’s designs have leaked online so we get an idea of what the foldable device will look like. Fortunately, it looks like the makers won’t be changing the overall design at the last moment, thus causing further delays. The company just wasn’t happy with the BOE screen performance, so the launch was delayed a bit.
OnePlus Open features and prospects
According to rumors about the specifications of the foldable device, it will be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, 16GB of RAM and 256 internal storage. It will no longer be the same BOE display, but the size and other display characteristics will likely not change. When you open the device, you will see a large 7.8-inch 2K foldable AMOLED display and on the outside will be a 6.3-inch AMOLED display.
The OnePlus Open will have a triple camera setup on the back, which will consist of a 48MP main camera, a 48MP ultra-wide angle and a 64MP telephoto sensor. The device will have two front cameras so you can take selfies even if your phone is folded or open. There will be a 32MP sensor on the outside and a 20MP sensor on the inside. The OnePlus 11, the current flagship of the company, has managed to enter our list of the best smartphones of 2023 thanks to its impressive software and speed. However, we have to wait together to see if OnePlus can create the same magical effect with its foldable phone.
