Foldable smartphones have begun to attract consumer attention. According to a report, 28% of US smartphone users are likely to choose a foldable device for their next purchase. With the market broadening, no brand wants to be left in the dust. This year, we witnessed several newcomers entering this unconventional category, including Tecno. And Google is also ready to unleash the Pixel Fold on May 10. Now rumor has it that OnePlus will also join the party by launching its first foldable as early as August.

OnePlus Foldable will go against Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5?

Max Jambor claims on Twitter that OnePlus will unveil its first foldable smartphone in August. The leaker did not share any specific date, however, the company confirmed during MWC 2023 that it indeed plans to launch a folding-screen smartphone sometime later in 2023. Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 5 is also expected to launch around the same time.

“Our first foldable phone will have the signature OnePlus fast and smooth experience. It must be a flagship phone that doesn’t settle because of its folding form, in terms of industrial design, mechanical technology, and other aspects. We want to launch a device that aims to be at the pinnacle experience of today’s foldable market.” said Kinder Liu, President, and COO of OnePlus at the event.

Currently, the details about the OnePlus foldable are pretty scarce. Some rumors claim it will be a rebranded Oppo Find N2, while others say it will be an entirely new device. Our money is on the latter. It makes sense for OnePlus to enter the category with a unique device or else it won’t make much difference to the consumers.

That being said, it’s worth noting that the Oppo Find N2 is already getting positive attention, thanks to its impressive hinge and form factor. OnePlus might just take a cue or two from its design prowess.

OnePlus Foldable Set To Make Waves in the Tech World With Late 2023 Release

Anurag — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 16:09:01 +0000

The Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023 has just begun, and there have already been some notable foldable smartphones showcased. Although OnePlus did not unveil any folding phones at the event, the company has announced its intention to release one in the latter half of 2023. This shows the brand is dedicated to expanding its portfolio from just smartphones to other gadgets.

A OnePlus foldable has been long-anticipated and the company also hinted the same previously. However, today the brand has finally announced its intentions to launch a folding-screen smartphone sometime later in 2023. While the details about the foldable are pretty limited, we can assume it will look similar to the foldables from its parent company Oppo.

Liu’s statement doesn’t really tell us anything about the upcoming device. We assume the brand will reveal more details in the future. Past rumors have claimed the OnePlus handset will look a lot like the Oppo Find N2 that was released late last year in China. However, the foldable may feature different specifications.

Foldable smartphones have started to pick up in 2023. We have seen many brands trying their hands in the new category. The Europe and Asian markets now have multiple options to choose from, including phones from Oppo, Motorola, Tecno, and Honor. However, US shoppers only get to choose from Samsung’s wide range of foldables.

OnePlus plans on launching its first foldable smartphone in 2023: Tipster

Sean — Thu, 12 May 2022 07:22:46 +0000

While foldable phones have been around for sometime now, a number of brands have yet to launch their own iterations of this breed of smartphones. But now, a new report has revealed that OnePlus will soon be launching its first foldable smartphone as well.

The news arrives from tipster Max Jambor who shared an image on Twitter. This picture hinted that the Chinese smartphone maker apparently plans on launching a foldable handset sometime next year. Furthermore, the tipster also revealed to PhoneArena that “multiple” foldable smartphones are on their way as well. As of right now, it is unknown what design the upcoming foldable phone will feature. Although, there have been rumors that OnePlus will launch at least one model that is similar to the Oppo Find N.

The Find N has a vertical hinge with a form factor that is similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. In other words, it features a primary display that folds inwards along with a secondary external display. It is also possible that OnePlus may launch a smaller and more affordable version of the Galaxy Z Flip 3, which has a clamshell folding design. There is even a tri fold design that has been seen in Samsung patents, but this model is unlikely to make its way with the first wave of OnePlus foldable phones.

OPPO Find N

Recently, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi have launched their own iterations of devices with flexible displays. However, these phones were only limited to the Chinese market and have yet to make their way to the international market. This means that OnePlus has a lot of potential to fill this gap in the international market since it typically launches all of its models for its home and overseas market.

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.
