Open introduction of OnePlus
We have known for some time that OnePlus is following in the footsteps of its main rivals and developing a foldable phone. This, of course, will lead OnePlus into another thriving market that is ready to be conquered. Yes, foldables really are the last frontier (for now), with the never-for-settled company teaming up with Google and bringing some much-needed competition to Samsung.

OnePlus Open Design and colors
Unmistakably OnePlus!
Based on the leaked design renders of the phone, we can say one thing: the Open will be unmistakably a OnePlus device, closely following the signature design language OnePlus has been building on for years!
OnePlus would use the inward folding type, similar to Google’s Galaxy Z Fold and Pixel Fold range, which would protect the larger internal display from external damage. However, OnePlus is reportedly willing to up the ante by employing a slightly larger display than the other two competitors. The OnePlus Open will reportedly score a 7.8-inch internal screen, but we don’t have the exact numbers on the external display.

Judging by the renders, the phone may use an aluminum frame with smooth edges and slightly curved edges. The back of the phone appears to be using a faux leather or raw sandstone back, which would give a twist to the design of the phone.

A large circular camera island houses the triple rear cameras, which look mostly similar to the OnePlus 11’s camera housing. An LED flash in the top corner of the device looks a bit out of place, but we’re sure OnePlus might have a good reason to put the flash there – provided the renders are 100% accurate, of course.
Similarly to the OnePlus 11, we expect the OnePlus Open to have an optical fingerprint scanner, along with Face Unlock.

When it comes to the display situation on the OnePlus Open, we have a few gaps to our knowledge. External display specs are virtually unknown at this point. However, we do know that the phone will house a 7.8-inch internal OLED display, which is 0.2 inches larger than the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Pixel Fold, and possibly the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 5.
Additionally, the display will sport a QHD resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels, as well as a 1-120Hz refresh rate that will make for a very smooth and rewarding scrolling experience that will change dynamically based on the content on screen. Here’s hoping OnePlus uses a bright OLED display that’s easy to see in broad daylight conditions.
As far as the hinge mechanism is concerned, there are practically no rumors, so we will probably have to wait for the official announcement event to learn more about the underlying device
mechanisms.
In terms of biometrics, we have a strong feeling that an optical fingerprint would be used in the display, most likely on the external display, but the internal one could also potentially score such a sensor.
Open camera OnePlus
A promising setup
The OnePlus Open is said to use the following camera setup: a 48MP wide-angle main camera with largely unknown specifications will be joined by a 48MP ultra-wide-angle snapper, and finally, rounding out the rear setup, there will be a 64MP telephoto camera with unknown zoom capabilities.
You’ll be able to take selfies with an external 32MP or internal 20MP camera. It doesn’t appear that any of the cameras will be hidden under the display like on the latest Galaxy Z Fold phones. OnePlus will use a much simpler punch-hole design, but we don’t mind.
OnePlus Open Performance and benchmarks
Possible power plant
Of course, the rumors seem to be steady that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will power the next foldable phone. This is quite certain and also quite logical, as OnePlus flagships are always equipped with the latest Qualcomm chips available. The OnePlus Open will hardly differ in this regard.
However, with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 just around the corner, we wouldn’t be surprised but probably very happy to find upcoming chips powering OnePlus’ first foldable phone.
OnePlus Open connectivity
OnePlus Open will definitely be a 5G compatible phone. Judging by previous OnePlus devices, we expect Wi-Fi 6 and hopefully Wi-Fi 6E to make an appearance.
OnePlus Open OS / Android version
While Android 14 will most likely be released on all eligible Pixel devices, we doubt that OnePlus will come with the next major software release out of the box. There’s slim chance that OnePlus has struck a deal with Google and gotten a head start on developing the Android 14 version of its OxygenOS interface, but there’s always some chance.
OnePlus open battery
Potentially excellent battery life!
Open charging speeds OnePlus
According to the rumors, the OnePlus Open will support charging speeds of up to 67W, which could easily make it one of the fastest-charging foldable devices out there. OnePlus already sells some of the fastest-charging devices in the US (The OnePlus 11 charges fully in half an hour), so we’re pretty excited about the OnePlus Open’s potential sub-hour charge times.
And hopefully, the ever-satisfying company will bundle the charger into the OnePlus One box!
OnePlus Open Audio Quality and Haptics
OnePlus phones have great sounding speakers, so we have high hopes for the OnePlus Open’s potential in this aspect. Let’s hope the new form factor doesn’t result in a deterioration in audio quality.
In terms of haptics, OnePlus has also significantly improved the feedback of its phones in recent years. We expect nothing but the most precise, accurate and rewarding tactile feedback from the next big thing on the foldable market.
Open competitors of OnePlus
Both use the same book form factor, with large internal displays and potentially great cameras, so it’s up to the OnePlus One to beat the competition.
OnePlus Open Summary and final verdict
The OnePlus Open has all the potential to not only disrupt the foldable establishment, but also rise to the top and become the foldable to beat. Yes, OnePlus One has all the features to revolutionize the sector.
Price-wise, we’re not really sure what to expect from the OnePlus Open, but we doubt it will be available on the cheap. However, given OnePlus’ penchant for slightly more aggressively priced devices, we have a small hope that the OnePlus Open would cost less than the Galaxy Z Fold 5 or Pixel Fold.
The OnePlus Open is rumored to see the light of day before the end of this summer, so it will be quite interesting to see it go up against both the Pixel Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 5.
