Today was a big day for Samsung. The Korean company presented the Galaxy Z Fold5, Galaxy Z Flip5, Galaxy Watch6 family and the Galaxy Tab S9 line - all during one event organized on their premises. OnePlus didn't want to be sidelined and responded to Samsung's event with Twitter.
This confirms the name of OnePlus' first foldable phone. It will be called OnePlus Open, as recent rumors have suggested. The use of the word "Fold" in the tweet also lets us know that the OnePlus Open will be a direct competitor to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 and not the Flip5 - otherwise the tweet would read "We open when others they're closing", right?

Either way, we expect the OnePlus Open to be unveiled at an event in New York in late August. We've seen it in recent CAD-based renders, and interestingly, it appears to look exactly like the captured schematic of the Oppo Find N3 phone. It would not be surprising if OnePlus Open was to be the international version of the Find N3, which will remain exclusive to the Chinese market.
According to previous leaks and rumors, OnePlus Open is to have a 6.3-inch AMOLED screen with FHD+ resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate, as well as a 20 Mpx selfie camera placed in a cutout on the screen. The main screen is likely to be a 7.8-inch AMOLED LTPO panel with a resolution of 1900 x 2100 pixels and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The selfie camera on the main screen is to be 32 Mpx.
Inside the device is likely to be a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip from Qualcomm, coupled with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. The main and wide-angle cameras are to be identical to the OnePlus 11, while the third module is to be a telephoto lens with a resolution of 64 Mpx. The phone is expected to have a 4800mAh battery with 67W fast charging support.
