As Google’s Pixel Fold faces concerns about its durability and Samsung prepares to launch its Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 next month, all eyes are on OnePlus and its upcoming foldable device, the OnePlus V Fold. OnePlus, known for its early years of offering affordable phones without compromising on features, has evolved into a brand that caters to user demands while maintaining competitive pricing.
Although the exact pricing of the OnePlus V Fold remains unknown, it is unlikely to be significantly cheaper than its counterparts, the Pixel Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 5. However, if any company were to undertake the challenge of providing a more affordable foldable phone, OnePlus would be a strong candidate.
OnePlus has undergone a transformation in recent years as a subsidiary of Oppo, which has made significant strides in the foldable phone arena. Oppo’s success with devices like the Oppo Find N and Oppo Find N2 Flip, featuring innovative designs and enhanced user experiences, sets a positive precedent for OnePlus’ entry into the foldable market.
Leaks suggest that the OnePlus V Fold will adopt a design similar to the Galaxy Z Fold and Pixel Fold. It will sport a 7.8-inch 2K foldable AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate when unfolded, and a convenient 6.3-inch AMOLED external display for folded usage.
According to leaked specifications from MySmartPrice and OnLeaks, the OnePlus V Fold is expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and boast 16GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, a 4,800 mAh battery with 67W charging, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. The device will also feature a versatile triple-lens camera system on the rear, including two 48-megapixel sensors (primary and ultra-wide) and a 64-megapixel telephoto lens. For selfies, users will have a 32-megapixel front camera on the outside and a 20-megapixel selfie camera on the inside, with camera experiences developed in collaboration with Hasselblad.
While the leaked information does not provide details about pricing, OnePlus is expected to unveil the V Fold in August, signaling its entry into the foldable smartphone market. With its blend of premium design, powerful specifications, and a potential for affordability, the OnePlus V Fold has the potential to be an exciting addition to the foldable phone landscape, capturing the attention of consumers eagerly awaiting the next innovation in mobile technology.
