OnePlus is one of the few big-name smartphone brands left without a foldable device in its portfolio, but that is about to change with the upcoming announcement of the OnePlus Fold or OnePlus Open, as recently speculated. The device’s official name is still under wraps, but it’s expected to debut in August at a special event in New York City, and we’ve rounded up the most up-to-date leaks and rumors in one place.
Project
The OnePlus Fold is expected to come with an outward folding design similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 and vivo X Fold2. A recent series of CAD-based renderings shared by @OnLeaks they show a tall cover display and a larger internal panel.
The renders of the OnePlus Fold actually look just like the leaked schematic of the yet-announced Oppo Find N3, which is expected to remain exclusive to China while the OnePlus Foldable will be available internationally.

The renders also reveal a OnePlus 11-inspired camera cutout on the back with Hasselblad branding and three sensors. The OnePlus Fold offers elegant metal sides and a textured back with a leather-like finish. The sides also sport a fingerprint scanner built into the power button and the fan-favorite alert slider on the left side.
Specifications
Moving on to the specs department, the OnePlus Fold will house a 6.3-inch AMOLED coverage screen with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The outward-facing panel is also expected to house a 20MP selfie camera housed within a centered cutout.
The main 7.8-inch LTPO AMOLED display will likely feature a resolution of 1,900 x 2,100 pixels and a refresh rate of 120Hz. Based on renders, it will have a punch hole in the upper left corner for its 32-inch selfie cam. MP.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is expected to cover the chipset department and will be paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
The OnePlus Fold is expected to feature a 50MP (IMX890) main sensor along with a 48MP (IMX581) ultrawide, the same sensors found on the OnePlus 11. We found the camera setup to work adequately in our review, you can take a look at some examples here. The third module on the back of the OnePlus Fold is expected to be a 64MP telephoto camera.

The OnePlus Fold is said to come with a 4,800mAh battery and 67W charging support, which is a bit smaller than the OnePlus 11’s 5,000mAh battery. The software department is expected to be covered by OxygenOS 13.1 based on Android 13, but it remains to be seen how OnePlus plans to add more features to the larger canvas.
Prices and availability
Price and availability are the two biggest question marks regarding the OnePlus Fold with no real leaks being published so far. As a horizontally foldable device with flagship specs, we should expect a price tag of $1,500 to $1,800 just like the Galaxy Z Folds and Pixel Folds of the world.
As for availability, the OnePlus Fold will likely launch in the US and Europe first, with other regions to follow. We’ll be sure to update you with more details about the OnePlus Fold as they emerge, so keep an eye on our news section.
