OnePlus Open, the maiden foldable from OnePlus, which is expected to be launched soon, is said to have performed better than the newly launched Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. According to a leakster, the OnePlus Fold withstood 400,000 folds in lab conditions. According to tipster Max Jambor, the OnePlus Fold has been through rigorous testing. The first foldable from OnePlus may be durable enough to withstand 100 folds a day for up to 10 years. The new Oppo Find N3 Flip is also rated for 400,000 folds. The new Galaxy Z Fold 5, on the other hand, promises of 2,00,000 folds. 

"#OnePlusOpen has apparently been put through a lot of testing. You can open and close it for at least 400.000 times which is equivalent to like 100 folds a day for up to 10 years," Jambor posted on X, formerly Twitter.

OnePlus Open is likely to cost less than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 which costs upwards of Rs 1,50,000 in India. According to tipster Yogesh Brar, the OnePlus Open could be priced between Rs 1,10,000-Rs 1,20,000 that makes it cheaper than the new Galaxy Z Fold 5, which costs Rs 1,54,999.

OnePlus' maiden foldable smartphone has been hit by a delay in launch, a leak had revealed a few weeks ago. The OnePlus Open will be delayed due to a "good reason", jambor had said in a separate leak. OnePlus had chosen China's display-making giant Beijing Oriental Electronics or BOE for supplying panels for OnePlus Open, but now, the handset maker is replacing BOE with Samsung-made displays. This means we can expect OnePlus Open's screen to be top-notch and take on the Galaxy line of foldables.

OnePlus gave a peak into its first foldable which was hinted at during the OnePlus 11 launch event earlier this year. The handset maker in a tweet posted: "We OPEN when others FOLD" which is a reference to the company's upcoming foldable smartphone. It is being said that the foldable device could be similar to the Oppo Find N2. It is to be noted that OnePlus and Oppo are both part of Chinese tech behemoth BBK Electronics.
