The OnePlus foldable phone could be called “OnePlus Open” according to a report by a well-known leaker. The company confirmed earlier this year that it would be launching a foldable device for the first time.
The report comes from fairly reliable tipster Max Jambor, who tweeted the claim on Twitter. “OnePlus takes a different approach to the name of its first-ever foldable smartphone! Let me introduce you: OnePlus Open,” Jambor said in a tweet.

Previously, there were rumors that the OnePlus foldable would be called the OnePlus V Fold or simply the OnePlus Fold, both of which would conform to current naming conventions for foldable devices. “Open” is a novel and quite interesting nickname for a foldable device, with most products just using “Fold” as a trademark.
Apart from the name, the so-called OnePlus Open has been a real star of the smartphone rumor mill in recent weeks. A complete spec leak came out the other day and painted an impressive picture. The foldable device is rumored to have a 7.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The external screen is said to be a 6.3-inch AMOLED display, also with a 120Hz refresh rate. All this will reportedly be powered by a 4,800mAh battery, while the phone could also support 67W fast charging. We assume that it will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 like the current flagship One Plus 11.
A welcome relief
There are foldable devices from the Pixel Fold to the Samsung Galaxy Fold 4 to the Vivo
If this report is correct, the OnePlus Open still retains the descriptive nature of what it does – the open – while still being different. It’s also not as opaque as the Huawei Mate X, so that’s a good thing.
Let’s hope there will be more candidates for our list in the future best foldable devices Open a thesaurus instead of rehashing the tired and overused “fold”.
