OnePlus Open gets officially teased, with launch rumored on October 19

Anurag — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 16:18:43 +0000

Unlike its BBK siblings Oppo and Vivo, OnePlus hasn’t launched a foldable phone yet. The company confirmed earlier this year that a folding phone will launch soon, and today we get an official teaser of what is supposed to be called the OnePlus Open. The Chinese brand has yet to reveal a launch date, but the teaser might suggest a launch sometime later this month.

OnePlus Open is closing in on its debut

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), OnePlus teased an upcoming smartphone with the caption ‘A true OnePlus experience awaits. Opening soon.’ The silhouette of the phone confirms it’s a foldable phone, and the wordplay in the caption points to the name we have been hearing for a couple of months—the OnePlus Open.

The upcoming OnePlus foldable phone is rumored to be a rebranded Oppo Find N3 Fold. This is supported by a recent Geekbench listing of the phone, as well as images of Indian actress Anushka Sharma using a device that matches previous renders of the Find N3 Fold. This is actually good news since Oppo’s book-style foldables are pretty good but they are not released outside China.

Previous leaks suggest the OnePlus Open will debut in India on October 19. As for the specifications, the OnePlus Open is likely to feature a 7.8-inch 2K internal display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The foldable phone is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC paired with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It might also come equipped with a 4,800mAh battery, supporting 67W fast charging.

In recent times, various display makers have launched their own iteration of a foldable display and have been developing the new breed of screen technology. And now, Tianma Microelectronics has announced a new CFOT foldable display, which arrives with various improvements like lowered power consumption.

The Chinese display manufacturer officially announced the new folding screen, which will be commercially available in the near future. It is the new CFOT foldable display that features certain improvements over other alternatives from competing brands. As per the official announcement, the new folding screen consumes significantly less power while the thickness of the display is also reduced as well. Notably, the display has a size of 8.3 inches.

This display would be aimed at foldable handsets from smartphone vendors. Furthermore, the display maker also announced that it seeks to develop and invest a lot of resources into the field of small and medium sized screens along with newer display technologies as well. This development would be further backed by the establishment of an innovation center, which will focus on research and development of advanced technologies.

These advances technologies include foldable displays, HTD, CFOT, MLP, and under display camera technology. Additionally, Tianma Microelectronics also aims to focus on the research and development of OLED panels through its independent R&D test line platform. The center would also be used for the development of new and upcoming technologies like MicroLED and other sensor technology as well.

Meizu teases new announcement tomorrow, Flyme 8 coming soon?

Airyl Jaszly — Mon, 12 Aug 2019 09:05:17 +0000

Meizu may be struggling, but the company certainly isn’t letting it show if it is. They’ve gone to Weibo with a teaser for a new announcement taking place tomorrow, though there’s no mention of what they plan to launch. Along with that, they’ve posted a poster to go along with the teaser, asking people to essentially gear up for the announcement.

While we may not know what the announcement is for, we’ve got a pretty good idea for what it’ll be. Flyme, the custom user interface for the Android operating system from good old Meizu, is getting a new update, and a few months ago they teased the launch date of the new Flyme 8 as the 13th of August, which is tomorrow.

What we’re not sure about is whether Flyme 8 is the only big announcement they have for tomorrow. We’ve seen multiple leaks for several different Meizu devices as of late, and it’s fully possible that we’ll see at least one of these devices launch alongside the new UI. We don’t expect to see the new flagship Meizu 16S Pro, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see a new mid-range device come out of this.

We’re very eager to see what exactly Meizu has in store for us tomorrow. While we’d love to see the company announce something big, it’s more than likely they’ll just have a small announcement for Flyme 8. I hope that they manage come out of their situation relatively fine though, I’ve been an avid fan of the company and would hate to see them disappear.
