Pete Lau of Oppo and OnePlus confirmed the upcoming foldable will have the same design language but launch with different names.
Collaboration
“This folding phone is jointly developed by the OPPO team and the OnePlus team.
Because we want to create a synergy and bring the best of the two teams together, both teams have accumulated strong experience, and this folding phone will have a different go-to-market strategy in different regions so that more users will be able to have their hands on this device,” he said.
Latest reports say the foldable phone will be named the OnePlus Open while Oppo may call it the Find N3.
Durability
It will boast a durable design with a sturdy hinge as it is said to be 37 per cent more durable than previous iteration Find N2 series.
OnePlus already teased the OnePlus Fold on the Unbox Therapy YouTube channel.
Screen
It comes with a bigger cover screen compared to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 series with an even bigger inner foldable display.
It has been confirmed to feature the alert slider, which is a signature mute/ring button found in all the premium OnePlus phones.
