Foldable smartphones are the talk of the town these days. We recently saw Samsung’s latest Flip 4 and Fold 4. Xiaomi also refreshed its foldable segment with the launch of Mix Fold 2 and Motorola too unveiled the new Razr 2022. Now, a recent tweet by Pete Lau suggests that OnePlus is also ready to try its hands on foldable devices.

OnePlus’ CEO and co-founder Pete Lau recently shared a few pictures on Twitter asking his followers “What do you think this is?”. The pictures appear to be the hinge mechanism of a phone. It could possibly be used in the upcoming OnePlus foldable. Lau’s tweet did not reveal any details about the moniker or design of the smartphone. However, it is speculated that the upcoming OnePlus foldable will be similar to Oppo’s Find N.

Details about the device are still pretty short. Previous reports have claimed that the foldable may debut in 2023. OnePlus entering the foldable smartphone market is good news because it will give rise to more competition and better products. But let’s just hope OnePlus doesn’t drop an exact copy of Oppo Find N with Hasselblad plastered cameras.

Currently, the foldable smartphone market is largely dominated by Samsung. The company has been doing a great job in improving its devices and also making them accessible to more people. Xiaomi has also done a commendable job with the Mix Fold 2. It is arguably the thinnest foldable we’ve seen so far.

We are also patiently waiting for Oppo to drop the successor to the Find N. The company is said to have a bunch of Foldable smartphones in the pipeline and may launch them later this year.
