Pete Lau Confirms That the OnePlus Open and OPPO Find N3 Are the Same
The OnePlus Open has been doing the rounds of the rumour mill for a while now. We have already seen the renders of the OnePlus Open, which matches the device shown in the video above. Max Jambor has also confirmed that the forthcoming smartphone will debut globally on October 19. Now, Lau has confirmed that the OnePlus Open and OPPO Find N3 will launch simultaneously in different markets to maintain the synergy and vision between the two brands.
According to Lau, the goal of both brands is to create the best folding phones. The Open is OnePlus’ debut foldable, whereas OPPO has already launched two generations of book-style foldables. While OnePlus is known for offering fast and smooth performance, and OPPO has a strong experience in foldable design and camera technologies. With the upcoming OnePlus Open and OPPO Find N3, these companies are planning to offer the best of both worlds to their customers.
Unfortunately, Lau didn’t reveal much about these devices except for emphasising the improved hinge design and comeback of the iconic OnePlus Alert Slider on the foldable smartphone. Lau revealed that OnePlus has developed 35 hinge-based patents to offer an exemplary foldable experience. The top executive stated that the hinge on upcoming foldable smartphones is 37% smaller than the OPPO Find N2’s hinge. Additionally, the new hinge has 31 fewer components, which makes the OnePlus Open lighter yet stronger.
OnePlus Open Specifications (Leaked)
Lau emphasised that the OnePlus Open will go beyond the large screen experience to offer a slim lightweight design, powerful cameras, impressive performance, and seamless user experience to be a true flagship foldable phone. While he didn’t reveal any details, we already know key specifications thanks to numerous leaks.
