Although Samsung continues to be at the forefront of foldable smartphones with devices like theGalaxy Z Fold 4, rival manufacturers have ramped up their efforts in producing competing products, with theGoogle Pixel Foldbeing the most recent example. While companies like Vivo and Tecno already have book-style foldables in the market, we’ve also learned pretty early on about OnePlusjoining the fraywith the V Fold. New reporting now suggests that this may not be the device’s official name. Instead, the company could end up calling its first-ever foldable theOnePlus Open.
This revelation comes from well-known leakerMax Jambor, who has uncovered European trademark filings by the company bearing the nameOnePlus Open. Jambor also reports that OnePlus previously considered a few other names for its first foldable, includingPrime,Wing,Peak, andEdge, all of which have their own trademark filings.
This could be a conscious attempt by OnePlus to separate itself from the crowd of similar-sounding foldables. We can think of theaffordable Tecno Phantom V Fold, theVivo Fold X Fold 2, theGoogle Pixel Fold, and the upcomingSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, featuring a similar form factor and even branding.
Based on rumors and extensive leaks, the OnePlus V Fold/Open could feature a 7.8-inch foldable inner screen coupled with a 6.3-inch screen, while both screens would enjoy a refresh rate of 120Hz.
On the processing side of things, the upcoming OnePlus foldable is said to be carrying Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC blended in with at least 256GB of RAM and up to 16GB of storage. Two 48MP rear cameras are rumored, serving as the primary shooter and the ultrawide sensor, respectively, in addition to a 64MP telephoto camera, rounding out the triple camera layout.
A 4,800mAh battery pack will supposedly power the device, with support for 67W fast wired charging baked in. Considering the form factor, OnePlus would reportedly include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner on its hotly anticipated foldable.
We’ve also come acrossan abundance of rendersof the OnePlus Open already, revealing practically everything we need to know about its design attributes. While there’s no confirmation on a launch date yet, some sources have pitched an early August timeline.
