It has been some time since we heard about OnePlus Open, and although the confirmation was made back at MWC 2023, it has only been recently since we started hearing about the new foldable. It started with renders that showed us what the device was going to look like and then the rumors surrounding the name. Today's tidbit tells us how the phone has been delayed, but for good reason.

OnePlus Open is going to take some time to release because OnePlus wants to use Samsung Display's OLED panels

Based on a tip from Max Jambor, a reliable OnePlus tipster, the company has delayed OnePlus Open so they can change the panels from BOE to Samsung. Originally, the foldable was supposed to use a panel from BOE, but instead, it will be using Samsung's foldable panel, which definitely is good news not just for Samsung but for the consumers as well as Samsung Display is undoubtedly the best choice for any display.

Now, originally, the OnePlus Open was supposed to debut sometime in August, but with this delay, we are not sure when this is going to happen. It surely will debut this year. We don't know the exact timeline. One more thing that comes to mind is the panels that OnePlus will be using. I am really hoping they are using the new panels from Samsung that are found in the latest Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5 series because they are advanced compared to their counterparts. Still, we would have to wait and see how that turns out.

As far as the specs are concerned, the OnePlus Open is said to pack some beefy specs, including a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, a 7.8-inch internal display with a 6.3-inch cover display. You are getting a 4,800 mAh battery, 67W wired charging, and a triple camera system on the back, as well. The camera system is going to be a 48+48+64 megapixel system, including a primary camera, ultrawide camera, and a periscope sensor handling the zoom capabilities. Simply put, the new OnePlus foldable will be a good alternative to everything else that is available in teh market.

This is also a great reminder that even Xiaomi is working on its foldable, which will debut this year. We are going to have some stiff competition for all the foldable phones in the market, and I cannot wait to see how it turns out. The OnePlus Open does look very promising. Let's hope as a debut foldable for the company, it manages to leave the mark.
