OnePlus Open: What to expect

OnePlus Open will be a premium device from OnePlus. It is expected to be priced anywhere between Rs 1,25,000 to Rs 1,45,000 in India. It is worth noting that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 starts at Rs 1,54,999.

The foldable smartphone will obviously come with two screens, a 7.83-inch primary display and a 6.31-inch cover screen. Both will be LTPO panels with up to 120Hz refresh rate. The Open is advertised to have a gap-less hinge design similar to the recently released Galaxy Z Fold 5.

It will most likely be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset paired with not 12GB but 16GB of maximum RAM option and up to 512GB or 1TB of internal storage. Interestingly, the foldable will get an alert slider as we see in other OnePlus devices.

As far as cameras are concerned, the foldable phone will have a triple camera system on the back. The setup is expected to go by a 48MP main lens, a 48MP ultra-wide lens, and a 64MP telephoto lens. Expect Optical Image Stabilization for enhanced stability in videos and while shooting images. It is expected to have a 32MP camera on the cover screen and a 20MP on the inside for video calls.

The foldable phone will pack a 4,805mAh battery with support for 80W SuperVOOC charging. This will make it the first book-style foldable to have the fastest charging. The OnePlus Open is expected to boot on the latest Android 14 OS with OxygenOS on top. If that happens, it will be the first OnePlus phone to come with Android 14 out of the box.
