OnePlus is working on a foldable, and for a long time, we expected it to have a fairly boring name – OnePlus Fold. This is likely not the case as the company will go with the catchier OnePlus Open. The information comes from Max Jambor on Twitter, who also pointed out the name was patented earlier this year.
The OnePlus Open sounds like a great idea, especially in a world of devices Folds – Galaxy Fold, Mix Fold, X Fold just to name a few. According to @MaxJmb, OnePlus also considered going with Prime, Wing, Peak, or Edge.

The new phone is expected to launch in late August, and renders suggest a circular camera island, flat sides and an alert slider on the left-hand side (when the device is unfolded). The big display is likely to be a 7.8” AMOLED panel, while the cover screen is reportedly a 6.3” AMOLED. The chipset should be Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, paired with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage.
