OnePlus has just confirmed the name of its very first foldable smartphone
For a long time, everyone thought that OnePlus will go for the OnePlus Fold name. The company opted to go against that, as Samsung is using the ‘Fold’ naming, as do some other smartphone OEMs.
In a tweet shared by its official Twitter aka X account, OnePlus said the following: “We OPEN when others FOLD”. That is a very clear confirmation of the phone’s name.
Now, many of you are probably wondering when will OnePlus finally announce that smartphone. Well, the company did confirm that the device is coming in Q3 this year. So, that much we do know for a fact.
The device will likely launch on August 29
What OnePlus did not confirm is the exact launch date. Well, if Max Jambor is to be believed, the device will arrive on August 29. He’s usually spot on when it comes to OnePlus stuff, so we don’t have a reason not to believe him. He did also guess the phone’s name, so… there you go.
The OnePlus Open will launch globally, it won’t be region-specific, or anything of the sort. Now, the latest piece of information from Ice Universe, another tipster, says that the OnePlus Open will look like the OPPO Find N3.
The OPPO Find N3 could arrive sooner than expected
The OPPO Find N3 did not launch yet either, but it’s expected to arrive sooner than we originally thought it’ll come. The Find N2 launched in December last year, but its successor could arrive much sooner.
The OnePlus Open did appear in CAD-based renders a while back, but some rumors suggest it’ll have a different form factor, closer to the Find N2. It remains to be seen.
