Not too long ago, Samsung dubbed its “Flip side,” and the industry labelled it yet another standard. Remember what happened after iPhone X’s launch? Industry made notch yet another standard, and every release followed thereafter. Getting back to foldable—amid this surging demand—tech giants are stepping up their game, vying for recognition.
BBK-brand OnePlus will be joining this array, too. Because why not? Its sibling brand Oppo would likely help it improve things, and improve for better. With that being said, these companies are taking audacious strides, and while secrecy surrounds product launches, there’s always a hint of information escaping through the cracks.
OnePlus Open may launch on Oct 19
OnePlus delayed its rumoured first foldable phone launch from Aug 29 to Oct 19. OnePlus North America CEO Robin Liu confirmed this date during an event. While specifics are scarce, Max Jambor, a tipster, suggests that more details will be shared on OnePlus’s official platforms. Notably, OnePlus co-founder Pete Lau also teased that OnePlus foldable might be on the cards with his recent post on X. “What makes a phone stand out to you? Do you apply the same standards to foldables?” he posted.
