OnePlus Open: “first” foldable smartphone

The Chinese manufacturer OnePlus presents its first smartphone with a foldable screen (not quite the first in fact... see below) which holds its own against competitors Samsung and Google.

A collaborative project between Oppo and its subsidiary OnePlus, the OnePlus Open is the firm's very first foldable smartphone... sold internationally. Indeed, in China it will be called Oppo Find N3, succeeding the Find N and Find N2 references.

OnePlus Open, super resistant foldable screen

It is therefore with a solid third generation of foldable screen in your pocket that the OnePlus Open arrives in Europe. It can therefore boast of honorable resistance since the manufacturer claims that it has been tested to survive a million folding cycles, approximately five times more than announced by major competitors, Galaxy Z Fold from Samsung and Google Pixel Fold.
