The OnePlus Open, OnePlus’ first foldable smartphone, is expected to launch at the end of this month or by September. Prior to the official confirmation, the phone’s anticipated specifications and design had been leaked multiple times. Now, tipster Yogesh Brar has provided information about its price on X (formerly Twitter), and it seems that this could be the most expensive OnePlus smartphone yet.
According to the tipster, the OnePlus Open could be priced under Rs 1.2 lakh. Based on the rumoured specifications, we have previously reported a similar price range in the past. If this rumour holds true, it will make the OnePlus Open comparatively more affordable than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, which is priced at Rs 1,54,999. However, the most budget-friendly folding phone still remains the one by Tenco. Google also has its Pixel Fold, though it did not launch in India.
The OnePlus Open will also mark a big leap in OnePlus’ pricing history. The company launched the OnePlus 9 Pro with 256GB storage for Rs 69,999, followed by the OnePlus 10 Pro at Rs 71,999 for the same storage. On the other hand, the current-gen OnePlus 11 5G is significantly more affordable at Rs 61,999 for the same 256GB storage, as the company focused on reviving its flagship killer status with aggressive pricing.
Based on the leaks, the OnePlus Open will likely take inspiration from Oppo Find N2 — OnePlus’ sister brand under the BBK umbrella. In fact, OnePlus co-founder Pete Lau presented the first-gen Oppo Find N back in 2021.
It means the OnePlus Open may feature a wider body. It could mean more display area on the cover screen.
The OnePlus One may include the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 SoC, a 2K 120Hz AMOLED (LTPO) display, and a 4800mAh battery with 100W SuperVOOC charging. The company may also consider adding wireless charging support. The back will likely include three camera sensors tuned by Hasselblad. The rear camera system may include a 50-megapixel (IMX 890) primary camera, an ultra-wide camera, and a periscope lens. The cover display may have a 32-megapixel selfie snapper inside a hole-punch cutout. There could be one more selfie camera on the main display. The renders tease a black colour variant, though the company may introduce one more option.
OnePlus has also started teasing its smartphone. Following the Galaxy Z Fold 5 launch last month, OnePlus tweeted, “We OPEN when others FOLD.”
