New Delhi: After teasing the handset earlier this year, OnePlus may release its first folding smartphone in the next two months. According to a report on Twitter, the phone called OnePlus Fold could be introduced in August. The timing is intriguing as Google has also announced that the first Pixel Fold smartphone will be released next week on May 10th.
There are no other details, nor any new revelations in the tweet from tipster Max Jambor. CEO Pete Lau will be in charge of the development of the OnePlus Fold, and the Oppo Find N folding phone is likely to serve as inspiration. ,Also read: Why do smartphones have non-removable batteries? learn here,

OnePlus COO and President Kinder Liu said the company’s first foldable will guarantee a smooth display while maintaining its folding form when the OnePlus Fold was teased at MWC in February. ,ALSO READ: iPhone 14 deals: Amazon vs Flipkart vs Vijay Sales – Check where it’s available at the lowest price,
“Our first foldable phone will have the signature OnePlus experience, fast and smooth,” Liu said during the unveiling in February. Due to its foldable form, it should be a flagship phone that does not compromise on industrial design, mechanical technology, or other factors. We want to introduce a product that will represent the apex of the foldable market right now.
Most likely, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, which also powers its most recent flagship, the OnePlus 11 5G, will power the device. The business may continue its collaboration with Hasselblad to provide the best camera experience on the OnePlus Fold. 5G, wireless charging, and lightning-fast wired charging are possible additional features.
Given that it will be a foldable smartphone, it is fair to speculate that the price could go up significantly. Over time, OnePlus’ numbered series have become more expensive, and most of their high-end products cost more than Rs 60,000.
