While the foldable smartphone market is advancing, finding a foldable device that doesn’t come with certain limitations imposed by hinge construction can still be challenging. These constraints often manifest in the form of excessive weight, unwieldiness when folded, or camera compromises.
Today, OnePlus introduces the OnePlus Open, a foldable smartphone that redefines the foldable experience, excelling in design, display quality, and camera performance. This technological masterpiece seamlessly merges OnePlus’ lightning-fast software with Hasselblad’s renowned camera expertise.
Slim and Lightweight, the Ultimate Pro
The OnePlus Open boasts an impressively svelte profile, measuring just 0.23 inches (5.8 mm) when unfolded and 0.46 inches (11.7 mm) when closed. Not only is it among the slimmest foldable devices available, but it is also astonishingly light, weighing a mere 8.4 ounces (239 grams). Handling it as a regular smartphone with one hand is a breeze, akin to managing a popular candy-bar phone like the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Don’t be fooled by its slender build; the OnePlus Open is built to withstand the test of time. Its body is constructed with a titanium alloy, four times tougher than surgical-grade stainless steel, while the flexible AMOLED screen is fortified with a carbon fiber support. Rigorously tested, this foldable is built to endure 1,000,000 folds and has received full TÜV certification. Theoretically, this means that even if you open and close the OnePlus Open 100 times a day, its hinge should last for a staggering 27 years!

The new OxygenOS 13.2 turbocharges the OnePlus Open for multitasking. With the innovative Open Canvas mode, you can keep multiple apps open on the side of the screen, effortlessly pulling them in and out of use as needed. Active app windows can be resized and repositioned, making multitasking on the phone a fluid, unrestricted experience.
Hasselblad Camera on a Foldable Phone
Despite its slim and lightweight design, the OnePlus Open carves out space for an exceptional triple-camera module, fine-tuned in collaboration with Hasselblad. The primary camera boasts a 48 MP Sony LYT-T808 sensor, featuring Dual-layered Transistor Pixels for enhanced light capture. It’s a sizeable 1/1.43-inch sensor, on par with traditional 1-inch IMX sensors thanks to Pixel Stacking technology. This sensor significantly broadens the camera’s dynamic range and elevates low-light photography, complemented by optical image stabilization (OIS) for even steadier low-light shots.
For zooming capabilities, the OnePlus Open incorporates a 64 MP sensor with OIS beneath a 3x telephoto lens. This sensor is the largest telephoto camera sensor on any foldable device, measuring 1/2 inch, and it facilitates lossless in-sensor zoom of up to 6x. With the new Ultra Res Zoom algorithm for stabilization and sharpening, digital zoom reaches up to 120x.
The 3x zoom lens (equivalent to 70 mm) offers an ideal focal length for portraits, and the 64 MP sensor ensures sharp, true-to-life details. The Hasselblad Portrait Mode in the Camera app leverages all three cameras to collect depth data, while the OnePlus Open’s impressive light-gathering capabilities deliver stunning nighttime portraits with creamy bokeh effects and DSLR-like background blur.
Fast and Smooth, the OnePlus Way
Completing the package, the OnePlus Open stands as a true flagship device. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, it ensures an abundance of processing power and performance for your every need. With 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, you can run multiple apps seamlessly while enjoying 512 GB of UFS 4.0 storage, a memory chip that doubles the speeds of its predecessor, UFS 3.1.
In any situation, for every occasion in your daily life, the OnePlus Open is ready to enhance or capture every moment. Its 4,805 mAh battery keeps you powered throughout the day, and a 67 W charger can swiftly replenish it from 1% to 100% in just 42 minutes!
