OnePlus already confirmed the launch of its first foldable smartphone in the second half of 2023 at the Mobile World Congress 2023. Today, reliable OnePlus leaker has posted that the phone will launch in August. Google is gearing up to launch its first foldable phone – Pixel Fold next week. Samsung is said to launch its Z Fold5 and Z Flip5 in late July, earlier than its August launch.
We still don’t have the specifications of
the OnePlus Fold, but it said that it will have flagship specifications. The
company has already trademarked OnePlus V Fold and V Flip names with the China
National Intellectual Property Administration recently, so the company might
also launch a Flip phone alongside.
OnePlus rolled out its OnePlus Pad in
India and other markets earlier this month, and the company wants to create an
ecosystem that will allow the company to provide a seamless connection between
OnePlus devices, such as smartphones, tablets, wearables, TVs, and other
Internet-of-things devices.
Even though, Google is not expected to
launch its foldable phone in India. OnePlus will likely launch its foldable
phone in India since it is one of the important markets for the company. Will
it compete with Samsung? We should know in a few months.
