OnePlus Open is the brand’s first foray into the foldable smartphone segment

Smartphones with plain rectangular bodyshells, no matter how powerful, suddenly seem so yesterday. Foldable phones are the way to go this year. Speaking of which, OnePlus has launched its first-ever foldable phone, and it is called the OnePlus Open.

The OnePlus foldable phone joins a slew of fold and flip smartphones available today in India, with Samsung leading the charge with its Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 and Flip5. Joining them recently is the new Oppo Find N3 Flip, and the Tecno Phantom Fold V.

With the OnePlus Open launching today at an event in Mumbai, read on to find out everything about the new foldable phone.
