The brand teased the release of the phone publicly during the OnePlus 11 launch event and confirmed a Q3 2023 launch.
As per a new leak, the OnePlus Open will be unveiled next month, on August 29th. Reliable tipster Max Jambor also corroborated the leaked launch date in a recent tweet.
The global event is expected to be held in New York. However, we still do not know how soon this new device will be available for sale.
OnePlus Open likely Launch Date
According to tipster Max Jambor, OnePlus is expected to launch its first foldable smartphone on August 29. The tipster further adds that the smartphone maker will launch the smartphone in New York in a physical launch event.
OnePlus Open likely Specs
According to circulating rumours, the upcoming OnePlus Open smartphone is speculated to feature a triple rear camera setup, possibly incorporating a periscope lens for enhanced zoom capabilities.
Leaks further suggest that this foldable smartphone might come equipped with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for convenient unlocking and a display featuring a punch-hole camera design.
These rumoured features indicate that the OnePlus Open is poised to offer an impressive photography experience along with advanced biometric security and a modern display.
The smartphone is tipped to be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and run Android 13 operating system topped with the company’s customised OxygenOS Fold.
OnePlus 12 likely Launch Date
Jambor also revealed the likely launch timeline for the company’s upcoming flagship smartphone — OnePlus 12. The tipster suggests that OnePlus may launch the OnePlus 12 smartphone in December this year.
However, it will be only the China launch and the global launch is expected to happen early next year.
OnePlus 12 likely Specs
According to the leaked information, the flagship smartphone from OnePlus, the OnePlus 12, is rumoured to be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
Additionally, the OnePlus 12 is expected to feature a triple rear camera system developed in collaboration with Hasselblad. The rear camera setup is speculated to include a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 64MP periscope camera.
The periscope camera technology enhances the zoom capabilities of the smartphone, similar to how Google Pixel phones achieve up to 5x optical zoom and Samsung Ultra devices utilise it for their 10x telephoto lens. It seems that OnePlus may be adopting this technology as well.
There are no pricing details on the OnePlus Open yet but it should be less the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 following the brand’s usual pricing.
OnePlus revealed its new Nord series of smartphones earlier this month and is not expected to end its cycle of phone launches this year with OnePlus Open.
The OnePlus 12 is expected to make its way to the brand’s home country, China, in December with a slightly refreshed design and a periscope camera.
