Earlier this month, a tipster revealed that Google will make it mandatory for all brands to comply with hardware quality standards for foldable phones. This is to ensure that the devices which are commonly expensive last a long period for the user. Brands often rate the number of folds on their devices. OnePlus whose first-ever foldable phone has been confirmed without any exact launch date has been doing the rounds on the rumor mill for the last few months. Now a tipster has revealed new details about the device. 

OnePlus Open hinge lifespan tipped

A hinge mechanism is the core of any foldable phone as it allows the device to be open and folded. As per a previous report, search giant Google will require all foldable phones to last at least 200,000 folds and unfolds which is in line with what Samsung claims for their Galaxy Z devices. Meanwhile, OPPO touts that their devices have a lifespan of 400,000 folds. 

In a new development, tipster Max Jambor reveals that the OnePlus Open has undergone a lot of testing. He added that the device will have a fold lifecycle of 400,000 times. This is equivalent to 100 folds a day for a period of 10 years. It ensures that the device will last for a long time which is great news for those who buy it. Unfortunately, the rated number does not guarantee the durability of the foldable phone, neither there is any official revelation from OnePlus. 

The OnePlus Open is confirmed to debut in the third quarter of this year, hence we can expect it to launch in September. As per leaked renders, it will have a compact form factor, a wider aspect ratio, and a bigger protruding circular camera module on the rear. The foldable phone is rumored to come with a periscope camera lens, quad speakers, and an alert slider. As for the core specifications, the OnePlus Open will reportedly have a 7.8-inch 2K internal display with 120Hz refresh rate. It is tipped to be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC paired with 16GB RAM and 256GB storage. The device is expected to be backed by a 4,800mAh battery unit with support for 67W fast charging.
