With Open, OnePlus has introduced its iconic alert slider to the phablet foldable. According to the Chinese manufacturer, this slider on the OnePlus Open has been redesigned from the ground up so as to fit the phone’s 5.8mm compact folding body. 

The OnePlus Open weighs just 239 grams and measures 5.8mm when unfolded. Also, OnePlus Open has been certified for reliable folding by TÜV Rheinland for more than 100 folds per day, lasting for over 10 years.

"Light makes might, and might makes “crease-minimal” - micro-openings of 0.15mm weaved onto the carbon fibre display support structure, works in tandem with the 8-axis turn-mechanism and the Flexion "water-drop"-shaped pressure-relieving hinge to keep crease at the minimal, even after extensive use," the company said in a release. 

OnePlus Open features a triple main camera setup with a 48MP SONY LYTIA-T808 “Pixel Stacked” primary camera with OIS, complemented by a 64MP periscope telephoto with 6x in-sensor lossless zoom and OIS, and a 48MP ultra-wide angle camera with AutoFocus. 

Rear cameras aside, the Open also comes with two selfie cameras – a 20MP sensor on the main display and a 32MP camera on the cover screen.

The device is equipped with dual 2K 120Hz fluid AMOLED ProXDR displays, the OnePlus Open shall allow for not only a great flagship-level cover screen but a main display that opens up to a Pro tablet.

The cover screen size in at 6.31-inch, with an aspect ratio of 20:09. With a peak brightness of 2800nits, the 120Hz cover screen also boasts a high brightness mode (HBM) of up to 1400nits. To elevate content immersion, open up the device to the large 7.82-inch main display that boasts an 89.6 per cent screen-to-body ratio. 

"In the all-new OxygenOS 13.2, Open Canvas was built from the ground up with a singular mission of amping up everyday productivity - multi-window efficiency on a large display. In fact, around 95 per cent of mainstream apps are compatible with the extended screen real estate without forcing weird visual adjustments or resizing," the company said.

The smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform and has 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM along with 512GB of UFS 4.0 read-only memory (ROM). This is accompanied by a 4,805mAh battery and 67W SUPERVOOC charging that charges up the battery on the OnePlus Open (from 1-100%) in approximately 42 minutes.
