OnePlus Fold: Here's what we know so far

The new OnePlus Fold is expected to feature 6.3-inch screen on the cover panel, and inside, when the screen is opened, it can stretch wide up to 8-inch.

The phone is expected to come with a sturdy hinge to hold the two display panels, which promises to serve the customer for several years. Also, there won't be any gap open at the back of the hinge, when the phone is closed. This way, it protects the internal components from at least dust.

The foldable phone is said to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. It may come with 12GB RAM, 256GB (and more) storage, a 4,800 battery, and comes with 67W fast charging support.

It should be noted that OnePlus Open is jointly developed by OnePlus and Oppo. The latter will also launch the same phone but with a different name, most probably Oppo Find N3 series. And, the OnePlus Open is expected to run on OxygenOS and the Oppo device will have ColorOS.
