The OnePlus Open will be that brand's first foldable smartphone, and we've seen it in some leaked CAD-based renders back in June. In the meantime, the company itself confirmed the name, but a lot of rumors stated it got delayed from its initially planned late August introduction, in order to change up the screen maker.
Well, it now looks like the changes will
be much more substantial than that. A new set of OnePlus Open renders has been
leaked today, this one purportedly based on pre-production unit visuals. As you
can see in the side-by-side comparison below, the aspect ratio of the phone
when closed has changed a lot - it's now much more reminiscent of the Oppo Find
N2 than it was in the initial set of renders.
It also seems smaller than before (the two
side-by-side images aren't to the same scale), since the circular camera island
seems to occupy much more of the overall space on the back. That said, rumor
has it it will still be larger than the Find N2. The speakers have been moved
around for better audio, and the frame has been tweaked too. The inner
display's selfie camera has moved from the top left corner when in portrait
mode to the top right. On the rear, the Hasselblad logo is now just an H,
sitting above what could be a ToF or LiDAR sensor.
The alert slider is still in, while the
fingerprint sensor is unsurprisingly (for a foldable) embedded in the power
button. The rear has a faux leather texture as you can see. According to other
rumors, the Open will have a 7.8-inch inner screen and a 6.3-inch outer
display, both with 120 Hz refresh rate, and it will be powered by the
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, aided by up to 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Both
the main and the ultrawide cameras are expected to have 48 MP sensors, while
the telephoto gets a 64 MP. The OnePlus Open allegedly has a 4,800 mAh battery
with 67W fast charging support.
