Up until a few years ago, if you wished to purchase a foldable smartphone in India, the only option available would have been Samsung. However, that is not the case anymore as brands such as Oppo, Motorola and Tecno have introduced several fold and flip smartphones, and that too at a price tag that has made this segment a much more competitive place. Aiming to establish its foothold in India's foldable smartphone market, OnePlus, which was once touted as the ‘flagship killer', has launched its first-ever flagship foldable smartphone in India.
Here is Your First Official Look at OnePlus Open with a Gapless Hinge with a Traditional Form Factor for the External Screen
03.10.2023 - 02:06 / wccftech.com
Earlier today, we got a confirmation that the OnePlus Open and the OPPO Find N3 are the same device. Now, we finally have access to the first official look of the phone. This is not new by OnePlus' standards, as the company has a habit of unveiling its devices before they even come out.
Pete Lau had an interview with Lewis Hilstenger, our favorite unboxer, and during the interview, Lau talked about the new OnePlus Open. Of course, we got the chance to have a first proper look at the upcoming foldable.
Pete Lau has talked about how OnePlus has over 600 patents related to the hinge alone. This makes sense from a design and engineering perspective because the hinge is the most pivotal part of any foldable device, and if the hinge fails, the entire device will fail along with it. The OnePlus Open will have a gapless hinge design, but it will have 31 fewer components, and it will be 37% smaller than the hinge found on the OPPO Find N2. Fewer components and a smaller footprint would mean that the hinge itself will be lighter and less susceptible to damage, which is always a good thing.
Now, the video does talk about how this is still an early copy of the phone, but we should not be seeing a lot of changes in the final version of the device. Seeing how the OnePlus Open has already gone through a facelift, I doubt we are going to see anything that is different or added to the final device, which certainly is a good thing.
Going through the video, you start realizing that the new OnePlus Open is a lot more refined than some people might think. If you are looking for something that does not have a taller and narrower screen like the Galaxy Z Fold 5 or some other phones in the market, and you want the cover screen to be like a normal, candy bar-styled phone, then the good news is that the new phone will provide you with just that.

OnePlus Open First Impressions: It’s Finally Here!
Smartphone technology moves at a blistering pace, at least, on the Android side of things. Folding smartphones has been out for several years, but Samsung has been the face of it in India even though brands like Motorola, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi have also been experimenting with this category. It's only over the past two years that we have started seeing some of the Chinese clamshell foldables getting launched in India. This is mainly because Samsung has been the only smartphone brand to bring every single foldable model it announced globally, to India.
