OnePlus Open launched with an impressive spec sheet, and a price to match

OnePlus is entering the foldable space with a bang. Their latest OnePlus Open comes with all the bells and whistles to compete against market leaders like the Galaxy Z Fold, and Google’s Pixel Fold. Let’s learn more about it in this article where we discuss the design, specifications, and expected price in Nepal of the OnePlus Open. 

OnePlus Open Overview

Design and Display

OnePlus has put a lot of effort into designing the Open. For starters, it is considerably lighter than the competition (Pixel Fold: 283g, Z Fold 5: 253g) and weighs about the same as last year’s iPhone 14 Pro Max (~240 grams). And, it opens flat and closes flush with no gaps which is impressive for a first-gen foldable. Reviewers also mention that the crease (on the inner screen) is barely visible on regular use which is always a plus.  Moving on to the displays, you get a regular-looking 20:9 6.31-inch OLED cover display outside while the larger inner screen boasts 7.82 inches of screen estate. Both are 10-bit 120Hz LTPO screens with an impressive peak brightness of 2800 nits.

Performance 

And onto performance, the OnePlus Open continues to impress. It ships with the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor with one X3 prime core at 3.2 GHz, two A715 and two A710 performance cores at 2.8 GHz, and three A510 efficiency cores at 2.0 GHz. Complementing that, you get 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM for multitasking and 512GB of fast UFS 4.0 storage.  The phone boots on Oxygen OS 13.2 based on Android 13.

Cameras

The Open features quite a bold look courtesy of its camera module. The large circular island features a 48MP main shooter,  a 48MP ultrawide, and a 64MP telephoto lens. The inner screen features a 20MP selfie cam of f/2.2 aperture while the cover screen also features a 32MP front camera both of which are housed in their respective hole-punch(es).

Other Specs

Under the hood, the slim foldable is packing a respectable 4800mAh battery. According to OnePlus, you can fill the device from 1 to 100% in just 42 minutes using the included 67W fast charger. The fingerprint sensor is embedded into the side power button and the phone also features WiFi 7 alongside Bluetooth 5.3, and NFC for connectivity. Strangely, wireless charging is missing from the foldable.
