OnePlus Fold’s actual name might not sound very chic

A OnePlus foldable has been long overdue, especially now that every other Android brand has launched one. It seems we’ll be getting the OnePlus folding phone in August. But there haven’t been many leaks related to the device, leaving everything to assumptions, including its actual name. Some say it will be called the OnePlus Fold, while others christen it OnePlus V Fold. Now, a popular tipster suggests that OnePlus is going to throw us a curveball by calling the phone something out of the ordinary.

“OnePlus Open” sounds more like a magic spell

Max Jambor says OnePlus is taking a different approach to the name of its first foldable phone. Instead of calling it the OnePlus Fold, the company is apparently going with the name OnePlus Open. This is an unusual choice, but it could be a way for OnePlus to differentiate its foldable phone from the competition. If you don’t like the name, you’ll be relieved to know that the company also considered other names, such as OnePlus Wing, OnePlus Edge, OnePlus Prime, and OnePlus Peak (you read that right).

Although the moniker may not sound very chic, it’s still better than the conventional “Fold” and “Flip” names. A recent report revealed OnePlus could launch its first foldable sometime before or on August 19.

Rumors suggest the foldable will get an 8-inch QHD+ foldable OLED primary display along with a 6.5-inch FHD+ OLED secondary panel. It wouldn’t be unwise to assume the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC on the device. There are also reports that the foldable could be a rebranded Oppo Find N3, which should remain exclusive to the Chinese market. The OnePlus foldable is also said to support wireless charging.

We already know that OnePlus is gearing up to launch its first ever foldable smartphone and its latest entry in its popular Nord series of mid range devices. And now, it appears that the launch of these models are just around the corner.

OnePlus Fold & Nord 3 launch could be between July-August 2023

The news arrives from known tipster Abhishek Yadav who shared the information on Twitter. In the tweet, he shared an image of the official ‘OnePlus Road Trip Futurebound’ promotional image poster. This poster reads “Re-embark to the best of OnePlus” and shares the period between “Jun 16-Aug 19.” So, the tipster believes that the OnePlus Nord 3 will be launching either on June 16 or soon after this date while the OnePlus Fold model will be arriving sometime before or on August 19.

Unfortunately, this was all the details that were shared by the tipster. But based on what we know so far, the Fold model will likely feature an 8 inch QHD+ foldable OLED primary display along with a 6.5 inch FHD+ OLED secondary panel. It is rumored to be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC as well. On the other hand, the Nord 3 is a mid range smartphone that is believed to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC and sport a tall 6.73 inch 1.5K AMOLED display.

For those unaware, the ‘OnePlus Road Trip Futurebound’ is the company’s latest promotional campaign which will have it kick off a road trip. This on road promotional event will have it enter the Royal Global University in Guwahati, India and OnePlus is expected to unveil the upcoming mid range device during this road trip.

OnePlus Fold now has a tentative launch timeline and event venue

Anurag — Tue, 06 Jun 2023 15:20:44 +0000

With most manufacturers having already launched their foldable smartphones, all eyes are now on the beloved Android brand OnePlus. The company has announced its plans to launch a folding device by the end of this year, without divulging many details, except for the usual marketing jargon, which includes the promise of a ‘signature OnePlus fast and smooth experience. The OnePlus Fold could be near as a new report hints at a launch in August while revealing the target market and the event venue.

OnePlus Fold to be sold in multiple markets, including US and India

OnePlus has yet to disclose any substantial information about its foldable but a Pricebaba report is here with some interesting details. The outlet, citing tipster Yogesh Brar, claims the OnePlus Fold will be unveiled globally in the first half of August 2023. The company will apparently take the wraps off the smartphone in an in-person event held in New York.

The report also mentions that the OnePlus Fold will be sold globally in key markets, including India and the US. This obvious piece of information provides reassurance for foldable enthusiasts in the States. Currently, the North American market is dominated by Samsung’s Z Fold and Flip line, with Google trying to secure a small slice of the pie.

The OnePlus Fold has been rumored for a couple of years now, and we’ve seen numerous reports claiming it to be a rebranded Oppo Find N series device. The latest ones suggest that the device will be a rebadged Oppo Find N3, expected to launch in China in August. Now, that’s not necessarily a bad thing since Oppo’s foldables boast the best form factor, and the hinge used is also top-notch. Moreover, the company offers an intuitive software experience.

Details about the Oppo Find N3 are widely available. You may read one of our posts here.

OnePlus Foldable Will Not Be a Rebranded Version of the Oppo Find N2

Soumyakanti — Mon, 20 Feb 2023 12:30:48 +0000

OnePlus will enter the foldable smartphone market with the launch of its own foldable device later this year. The company revealed its plans during its Cloud 11 event, where it also announced the launch of its highly anticipated OnePlus 11 flagship smartphone.

Digital Chat Station, a popular leaker on Weibo, has shared more details about the upcoming device, revealing that it will have a large display with a 2K display resolution, similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series.

This suggests that the new OnePlus foldable will not be a rebranded Oppo Find N2, which has a folding screen resolution of 1,792 x 1,920, closer to FHD+ than 2K. However, it is possible that the OnePlus foldable and Oppo’s foldable Find N2 may share similar features.

While fans eagerly await the new device’s arrival, they will have to be patient, as the official launch is expected no earlier than July. Until then, we will have to wait for more information about the specs, design, and features of OnePlus’ highly anticipated foldable phone.

OnePlus will be following in the footsteps of its sister companies OPPO and Vivo, both of which have already released their own foldable devices in China. As all three brands are owned by BBK Electronics, it is not surprising that OnePlus is now entering the foldable smartphone segment.

OPPO, which entered the foldable market in 2021, recently unveiled the Find N2 and Find N2 Flip in China. By launching its own foldable device, OnePlus is poised to compete with other major OEMs such as Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi. The company’s reputation for delivering high-quality, affordable smartphones is likely to make its foldable device an attractive option for consumers looking to try out the latest technology.

With the foldable smartphone market still in its early stages, it remains to be seen how well OnePlus’s upcoming device will fare. However, with the backing of BBK Electronics and the success of its sister companies’ foldable devices, OnePlus is well-positioned to make a splash in this exciting new segment of the smartphone market.

OnePlus to Launch Its First Foldable Phone Later This Year

Sean — Wed, 08 Feb 2023 08:35:37 +0000

OnePlus just held its Cloud 11 event in which it announced a number of its highly anticipated products like the OnePlus 11. But during this same event, the company also revealed its plans for other exciting upcoming devices. So let’s have a look.

While the flagship smartphone was undoubtedly the highlight of the major conference, the Chinese handset maker also revealed the launch timeline for a new breed of mobile devices. The company has officially confirmed that it is working on a new foldable smartphone and it will be launching sometime later this year. Devices with foldable displays aren’t exactly a new thing, but it is still mostly offered by major OEMs like Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, Samsung, and others.

But it appears that OnePlus is also planning on releasing its own iteration this year, around the third quarter. In other words, we can expect the brand to officially announce the device sometime between the months of July to September. Unfortunately, the company only teased the device’s launch so far and has refrained from talking more about this foldable phone. So, finer details regarding this upcoming high end smartphone is still at large.

Based on previous reports, the foldable phone model in question could simply be called the OnePlus Fold. Furthermore, initial reports had hinted at the device also being a rebranded Oppo Find N. Although, it now appears that the company is actually developing this device from the ground up, but we can expect Oppo’s foldable phones to have some influence on this smartphone.

Oneplus’ first foldable, Oneplus Ace, Nord 2T, and more Oneplus leaks from last week

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Mon, 11 Apr 2022 09:31:43 +0000

Last week, there were multiple leaks regarding upcoming Oneplus products. Hence, we thought to put them together for our latest weekly compilation. For the unaware, we at GizmoChina, bring you a roundup article every Monday discussing select stories from the previous week.

In this week’s episode, we will talk about five Oneplus leaks. Of which, two of them are very interesting as they are regarding a foldable and a new series.

With that out of the day, let’s take a look at these leaks one by one.

Oneplus Leaks from Last Week

Oneplus foldable in the works

Last Friday, tipster Yogesh Brar revealed that Oneplus is working on a foldable smartphone. Unfortunately, it is not a self-developed device. The handset is merely a copy of Oppo Find N, which is sold exclusively in China.

Hence, the upcoming Oneplus foldable phone could be just a new name for the Oppo Find N for international markets.

It is not known what Oneplus will call its first foldable smartphone. Just like other brands, the company will most likely use the ‘Fold’ branding, such as ‘Oneplus Fold’.

We are looking forward to learning about the device’s price and availability in the coming days.

Ace series to return with Oneplus at the helm

Oppo killed the Ace series after the launch of Oppo Ace 2 in 2020. Realme’s GT series replaced this lineup offering products at multiple price points.

On Friday, a Chinese media house (Whylab) disclosed that Oneplus will bring back the Ace series from the dead. This device carries model number PGKM10 and it is nothing but a rebranded Relame GT Neo 3.

The phone will likely release as Oneplus 10R in some markets. Because we have been hearing about it for a long time and it shares almost everything with the Realme GT Neo 3.

In a nutshell, the Oneplus Ace could be limited to China, like the previous two Ace-branded handsets from Oppo. On the other hand, the Oneplus 10R may launch in India and even Europe (doubtful).

Oneplus Nord 2T to feature Dimensity 1300 SoC

On Friday, Mediatek quietly announced Dimensity 1300 SoC, the successor of the Dimensity 1200 chipset. A day earlier, a leak had already revealed that this chip will be present inside the upcoming Oneplus Nord 2T.

The design of the Oneplus Nord 2’s successor was also disclosed in the same leak via renders. The phone will have two large circles on the rear, however, only one of them will be fully occupied with a large OIS-enabled 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor. Whereas, the second circle will house weird-looking tiny 8MP Sony IMX355 ultra-wide unit and a 2MP monochrome sensor.

Other features of the handset will include a 32MP Sony IMX709 front-facing camera, LPDDR4x RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, dual stereo speakers, alert slider, 4,500mAh battery, and 80W fast charging.

The Oneplus Nord 2T is rumored to launch in late April or early May.

Oneplus 10 could be powered by Dimensity 9000 SoC

On Thursday, tipster Yogesh Brar once again tweeted that Oneplus is working on a smartphone housing a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset. He suggests that this phone will probably go official as the Oneplus 10.

Oneplus 10 Pro

For the first time, Oneplus didn’t release a vanilla flagship model alongside the Pro (Oneplus 10 Pro) this year. At the same, the brand is also rumored to working on an ‘Ultra’ model.

The company is yet to officially tease either of these handsets. However, the so-called Oneplus 10 Ultra is rumored to debut at the end of Q3.

Oneplus Nord N20 is an Oppo mid-ranger for the US

On Wednesday, PCMag exclusively revealed details about the upcoming Oneplus Nord N20. Going by the report, the upcoming Nord for the US will be nothing but a tweaked version of Oppo A96 5G sold in China.

The international OPPO A96 is already official in Southeast Asia as Oppo Reno 7Z 5G. It is expected to release in India and Europe as Oppo F21 Pro 5G and Oppo Reno7 Lite 5G respectively.

The Oneplus Nord N20 is said to debut in the US later this month with features like a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, in-screen fingerprint sensor, Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, 64MP (wide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth) triple camera system, 16MP selfie camera, 4,500mAh battery, 33W fast charging, and OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11.
