As the October 19 launch date for the OnePlus Open foldable phone approaches, fresh leaks and rumors continue to circulate, shedding light on some of the device’s key specifications.
Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, known for providing reliable information, recently shared details on Weibo regarding the OnePlus Open’s camera setup and display. According to the source, the foldable phone will feature a 48MP main camera and a 64MP periscope camera with 3x optical zoom on its rear panel. While the third rear camera wasn’t mentioned, it’s believed to be a 48MP ultrawide module. It’s worth noting that earlier rumors suggested the 64MP camera might be a telephoto lens, and there had been mention of 6x optical zoom, leading to some uncertainty about the precise camera configuration.
In terms of display, the OnePlus Open is expected to sport a 2K resolution screen with a fast 120Hz refresh rate. What sets it apart is its relatively high peak brightness of 2,800 nits, providing exceptional visibility under various lighting conditions. For context, the Google Pixel Fold, a competing foldable device, offers a maximum brightness of 1,450 nits.
Additional details from the tipster suggest that wired charging support could reach up to 100W, indicating a significant boost in charging speed. However, wireless charging capabilities are not anticipated.
It’s important to note that OnePlus has officially confirmed the phone’s launch date, slated for Thursday, October 19.
In parallel developments, renowned tipster Evan Blass has unveiled several images of the upcoming Oppo Find N3 in a previously undisclosed gold color variant. These images offer a close look at the device’s slim frame and the triple-lens camera module located on the rear.
A noteworthy point to consider is that OnePlus and Oppo, effectively sister companies, are collaborating on the development of their respective foldable handsets. The OnePlus Open, which will be known as the Oppo Find N3 in select markets, is expected to be available in black and green color options. However, the emergence of a gold color variant for the Oppo Find N3 raises the possibility that the OnePlus Fold may also offer this additional color choice.
The OnePlus Open foldable phone is generating considerable anticipation and speculation in the run-up to its official release, offering an exciting glimpse into the future of smartphone technology.
