OnePlus is reportedly working on two foldable phones. Back in August last year, Pete Lau subtly hinted at the devices. Now, the brand has trademarked two foldable phones with the China National Intellectual Property Administration. The filing is confirmed to still be active. The names of the trademarked devices are the ‘OnePlus V Fold’ and ‘OnePlus V Flip’. 

The trademark listing by CINPA does not reveal any information about the OnePlus foldables. However, it confirms the names of the devices. The OnePlus V Fold and V Flip names resemble Samsung’s naming convention for its foldable phones i.e Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold. The names of the OnePlus foldables also give us an idea that one device may have a clamshell design while the other will convert into a tablet. 

OnePlus has been expanding its product portfolio lately. The brand announced monitors in India last month and is set to launch its first-ever tablet and mechanical keyboard at a global event next week. OnePlus’s sister company OPPO entered the foldable smartphone segment way back in 2021. The latter also unveiled the Find N2 and Find 2 Flip last month in China. Additionally, both brands including Vivo are owned by BBK Electronics. OPPO and Vivo also offer foldable smartphones in China. Hence, it only makes sense for OnePlus to enter the foldable market. 

OnePlus co-founder Pete Lau oversaw the development of OPPO’s Find N folding smartphone in 2021. Since OnePlus and OPPO offer similar flagship devices, it could be possible that the OnePlus V Fold and V Flip could be identical to the Find N2 and N2 Flip.
