In February 2023, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau confirmed that they would be releasing a foldable OnePlus phone and were planning to launch it in Q3 2023. Once again, thanks to popular mobile device leaker OnLeaks, we finally know how it would look like.
The leaker collaborated with Smartprix and they have exclusive renders of what appears to be the first OnePlus foldable phone, known as “OnePlus V Fold” (OPVF).
The OPVF introduces a synthetic leather back, providing a high-end appearance and a comfortable grip. The phone’s images also reveal a triple rear camera setup with the prominent Hasselblad branding. Notably, it includes a periscope lens that enables optical zoom features similar to those found in the Samsung S23 Ultra.
The foldable device will incorporate the alert slider, a signature feature often seen in OnePlus flagship models. Furthermore, the power button on the OPVF integrates a fingerprint sensor, offering users secure biometric authentication.
On the front screen’s centre, a selfie camera is present, while unfolding the screen reveals an inner selfie camera positioned at the left-side corner. The renders also confirm the presence of a triple speaker system on the OnePlus folding phone. The book-style hinge mechanism appears to draw inspiration from the OPPO Find N2 and Samsung Galaxy Z foldable devices. The phone boasts a metallic construction, as OnePlus has placed antenna bands in the side frame.
OnePlus V Fold Specs
The OPVF is set to deliver a flagship experience, powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 processor. Reports suggest that the phone may feature a 2K 120Hz LTPO AMOLED display, ensuring a smooth and high-resolution visual experience.
In terms of photography, the foldable device is rumoured to house a 50MP (IMX 890) primary camera, accompanied by an ultra-wide lens and a periscope lens for enhanced zoom capabilities. For capturing selfies, a 32MP (OV32C) front-facing camera is included. Since there are two selfies camera, we don’t know whether both of them are 32MP.
To accommodate extended usage, the OPVF is said to come equipped with a 4,800mAh battery. Additionally, it is rumoured to support 100W SuperVOOC fast charging, enabling quick and efficient recharging of the device.
Smartprix said these renders are based on a prototype and not a final product, so there could be some minor changes. Guess we will just have to wait and see how the final product looks when it releases.
