Smartphone maker OnePlus on Thursday confirmed the launch of its first foldable flagship phone, the OnePlus Open. The company's maiden foldable phone will debut in Mumbai on October 19. The company also shared the first official look of the OnePlus Open in an official teaser image provided to ABP Live. The OnePlus Open will take on the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, the Oppo Find N3 Flip and the Tecno Phantom V Flip, among others.
The official teaser image of the OnePlus Open suggests that OnePlus is retaining its "iconic" alert slider on its foldable phone.
“The OnePlus Open is the dream smartphone, set to break the compromise between display technology, imaging performance, and weight that has become the status quo for existing foldable devices,” said Kinder Liu, President and COO of OnePlus.
“Inheriting OnePlus’s signature fast and smooth experience, plus its elegant, lightweight, and slim design, alongside an imperceptible screen crease, unprecedented imaging performance, efficient software, and premium quality, the OnePlus Open will redefine the concept of foldable smartphones by delivering all-round flagship-level experiences that push the limits of current foldable smartphones and take the standard of foldables to the next level.”
