Rumor: OnePlus will release the Open in October
By ForGeeks The first rumors about the OnePlus Open suggested a late August announcement. Then came the bad news — problems with its chosen screen supplier (BOE) led to a delay (and a switch to Samsung panels). We’ve waited a long time for the company’s first foldable phone, and we may have to wait some more. An insider has revealed a new date for the Open presentation — October 19. That’s a month from today and almost two months after the original deadline.

The company’s executives attended the TechCrunch Disrupt 2023 event and confirmed that the company’s first foldable phone will be unveiled «soon». A specific date was not given, nor were details on specs.

The OnePlus Open will be powered by the Oppo Find N3, and the two devices will likely share the global map — the Open will go international, while the Find N3 will remain in China (as will the Find N2).

With global reach, including key markets such as India and especially the US, competition will increase. Samsung’s only competitor in the US market is Motorola, and that’s only in the case of the Galaxy Z Flip — horizontal clamshells are very rare in the global market.
Key features — 7.82-inch internal and 6.31-inch external display (the latter has a standard 20:9 aspect ratio).
