Back in 2019, Pete Lau, the CEO of OnePlus, said that there are no plans for a foldable phone anytime soon. A year later, the founder revealed in an interview that existing technology isn’t good enough for foldable phones. Based on the standpoint of the manufacturer, we do not expect a Galaxy Z Fold rival from them anytime soon. However, it appears OnePlus has a surprise for us tomorrow according to a teaser it posted earlier today.

The official OnePlus USA Instagram and Twitter account both shared a short clip of a phone and a date that is for tomorrow, August 11 (yeah, the U.S. goes with MM/DD/YY). The dual-screen device reminds us of LG’s Dual Screen case which when attached to select devices such as the LG V60, gave it a second screen. Does it mean OnePlus plans to announce a dual-screen accessory for its existing phone(s) or a dual-screen phone tomorrow? We are not sure but a trusted source says we shouldn’t be excited.

Young leaker, Ishan Agarwal, who has leaked multiple OnePlus devices in the past has said that the teaser is just two OnePlus 9 Pro phones put together. So it is safe to assume that this isn’t necessarily a new product.

There is a possibility OnePlus is teasing a special promotion, which makes sense considering that every Wednesday is OnePlus Day, its weekly deals day. So this may be a BOGO (Buy One, Get One Free) promo for the OnePlus 9 Pro but with a special teaser to get people talking. The timing is perfect too since Samsung is announcing the Galaxy Z Fold3 tomorrow.
