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.

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.
