OnePlus Open foldable phone set to launch on October 19

OnePlus announces the launch date for its new foldable smartphone, the OnePlus Open, set to be unveiled on October 19 in Mumbai.

OnePlus has officially announced the release date for its eagerly awaited foldable smartphone, the OnePlus Open. The company has confirmed that the launch event will occur on October 19 in Mumbai.

Key details about the launch event

The news about the OnePlus Open has been in the air since early 2023 when a teaser dropped during the OnePlus 11 launch event. The teaser hinted at a “Q3” launch for an undisclosed device, which we now know to be the OnePlus Open. The upcoming event in Mumbai will kick off at 10 a.m. EDT, 4 p.m. CEST, and 7:30 p.m. IST and will be live-streamed via OnePlus’s YouTube channel.

Where and what to expect from the device

Although the company hasn’t explicitly stated where the new foldable device will be made available, based on the previous OnePlus device launches, it will likely hit the US, UK, and European markets. 

The phone is expected to be similar to Oppo’s foldable Find N2, exclusive to China. Oppo, a sister company of OnePlus, will also launch a new foldable phone, the Find N3 Flip, which is also presumed to be China-specific.

OnePlus aims for a new foldable experience

In a statement, OnePlus President Kinder Liu was enthusiastic about the OnePlus Open, saying it would “break the compromise between display technology, imaging performance, and weight” in the foldable smartphone market. According to Liu, the OnePlus Open features an elegant, lightweight, slim design, an almost invisible screen crease, efficient software, and high-quality imaging performance.

In line with the company’s history of releasing details ahead of launches, OnePlus has also teased the return of its classic alert slider feature for the new phone. In previous interviews, Liu has indicated that the device will have a book-type form factor, making it a competitor toย Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold. This design will align the OnePlus Open with Oppo’s Find N2 and the upcoming Find N3, featuring the book-type form.
