Global technology brand OnePlus has officially unveiled its latest innovation in the form of the OnePlus Open, a remarkable folding flagship smartphone. This groundbreaking device marks OnePlus’ foray into the foldable market, promising a seamless blend of cutting-edge technology, an exquisite Hasselblad Camera system, immersive spatial entertainment, and an ultra-portable, elegant foldable design.
Embracing Openness in Technology
Kinder Liu, President and COO of OnePlus, describes the OnePlus Open as a symbol of the company’s commitment to embracing new possibilities offered by advanced technology solutions. The smartphone not only boasts exceptional hardware and innovative software features but also aligns with OnePlus’ “Never Settle” philosophy, delivering an uncompromising flagship experience that is poised to revolutionize the foldable smartphone market.
Extraordinary Portability and Durability
OnePlus Open inherits the brand’s iconic design philosophy of industrial minimalism and elegant sophistication. Available in Emerald Dusk and Voyager Black, these colorways are not only visually appealing but also showcase meticulous design details. The smartphone features the iconic OnePlus alert slider, redesigned to fit the compact folding body, enhancing one-handed usability and saving space on the device’s interior.
Despite its ultra-compact form, the OnePlus Open remains exceptionally robust, with a patented Flexion Hinge and TÜV Rheinland certification for reliable folding. The inclusion of micro-openings woven into the carbon fiber display structure, combined with the 8-axis turn mechanism and Flexion hinge, ensures minimal creasing even after extensive use.
Weighing just 239g and measuring 5.8mm when unfolded, the OnePlus Open delivers a compact and lightweight experience comparable to single-display phablets but with the versatility of a folding device.
Hasselblad Camera for Imaging Excellence
The OnePlus Open sets new standards in mobile photography with a triple main camera setup. A 48MP SONY LYTIA-T808 “Pixel Stacked” primary camera with OIS, a 64MP periscope telephoto with 6x in-sensor lossless zoom and OIS, and a 48MP ultra-wide-angle camera with autofocus provide versatile photography options. Additionally, two selfie cameras, a 20MP sensor on the main display and a 32MP camera on the cover screen, cater to diverse imaging needs.
The OnePlus Open is the first foldable smartphone to introduce Sony’s new image sensor, the LYT-T808, offering superior low-light performance and clearer images. Its periscope telephoto sensor allows up to 120X Ultra Res Zoom, ensuring high-quality telephoto imaging, even in low-light conditions.
Leveraging the Hasselblad partnership, the OnePlus Open features an enhanced Hasselblad Portrait Mode, delivering DSLR-level depth-tracking, bokeh, and flare effects.
Dual-Hero Displays for Epic Entertainment
The OnePlus Open boasts dual 2K 120Hz fluid AMOLED ProXDR displays, offering a flagship-level cover screen and a large main display that opens up to a Pro tablet. The cover screen, with a 6.31″ size and peak brightness of 2800nits, is protected by Ceramic Guard, making it highly impact-resistant.
The 7.82″ main display offers an 89.6% screen-to-body ratio and the same high quality as the cover screen, with triple protection layers. Dolby Vision® video playback and a triple spatial speaker setup, paired with proprietary spatial audio algorithms, deliver immersive audio-visual experiences.
Efficiency and Real-Time Interaction with OxygenOS 13.2
OxygenOS 13.2 enhances everyday productivity with the Open Canvas, offering multi-window efficiency on the large display. The majority of mainstream apps are compatible with the extended screen real estate, enabling up to four app-windows to be displayed simultaneously. A desktop-like taskbar and the “Recent” folder provide convenient access to recent applications and files, simplifying multitasking and content management.
Flagship Configuration for Fast & Smooth Experiences
The OnePlus Open is powered by the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform, 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 512GB of UFS 4.0 ROM. It also features a large 4,805mAh battery and 67W SUPERVOOC charging, ensuring a fast and smooth experience. With Wi-Fi 7 and dual 5G connectivity, users can stay connected seamlessly.
