OnePlus Launches First Foldable Phone To Rival Samsung and Google

OnePlus is launching its first foldable phone, the OnePlus Open, today. It will compete with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold and Google's Pixel Fold.

The OnePlus Open is rumored to have top specs like a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, 16GB RAM, quad cameras, and an 80W fast charging battery.

The Open's folding screen will be 7.82" and 120Hz. The cover screen will be 6.3". Both screens will have high 2800 nit peak brightness.

Pricing for the OnePlus Open is expected around $1699, making it slightly cheaper than the Galaxy Z Fold 5. Availability will start in India.

It's unclear if OnePlus can match Samsung's software experience and productivity features. Water resistance is also lower at IPX4 compared to Samsung's IPX8 rating.
