The OnePlus Fold is tipped to be announced in August in New York

Now, do note that Yogesh Brar doesn’t have the very best track record when it comes to leaks, so take this info with a grain of salt. The OnePlus Fold was promised to arrive in Q3 this year, so it’s easily possible this info is true, though.

This will become the company’s very first foldable smartphone. We’re still not sure it’ll be called the OnePlus Fold, but we’ll stick with that naming for now. OnePlus did trademark the OnePlus V Fold name too, so that’s also a possibility.

This handset will launch in New York, it seems, but it will be available globally. The phone is expected to make its way to Europe and Asia, in addition to being available in the US.

The OnePlus Fold could be a global variant of the OPPO Find N3

Now, the OnePlus Fold is tipped to resemble the OPPO Find N3 quite a bit. In fact, there’s a chance it will be a rebranded OPPO Find N3, based on rumors. The OPPO Find N3 is also expected to arrive in August, but launch in China. The OnePlus Fold could be a global version of that phone, in a way.

The OnePlus Fold is rumored to feature an 8-inch main display, and a 6.5-inch secondary panel. The main display will offer a QHD+ resolution, while the second display will ship with a fullHD+ resolution.

It will include two 120Hz displays, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC & 80W charging

Both of these displays are expected to offer a 120Hz refresh rate. Both of them are also expected to be OLED panels, and flat at the same time.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will fuel the device, almost certainly. You can also expect LPDDR5X RAM to be on offer, and UFS 4.0 flash storage as well. Android 13 will come pre-installed on the device, along with OnePlus’ OxygenOS.

A 4,800mAh battery was mentioned in rumors, and the same goes for 80W wired charging. The phone will include a charger in the box, by the way. A 50-megapixel main camera is rumored, as is a 48-megapixel ultrawide unit, and a 32-megapixel periscope camera.
