Exclusive OnePlus V Fold First Look: A Glimpse into the OnePlus Fold

Most of us are aware that OnePlus is preparing to join the foldable phone trend. In March 2023, OnePlus made an official announcement that it will be entering the foldable phone market in the third quarter of 2023. While OnePlus has maintained secrecy regarding specific details about its upcoming foldable device, we at Smartprix have obtained an exclusive first look at the highly anticipated OnePlus V Fold, even before its official announcement. Through a collaboration with the trusted industry insider Onleaks, Smartprix has obtained detailed renders that showcase the striking design elements of the OnePlus V Fold.

Amidst circulating early rumors surrounding the OnePlus V Fold, speculations have emerged suggesting that OnePlus may rebrand the OPPO Find N2 as the OnePlus Fold. However, we are here to set the record straight and debunk such claims. Our findings are derived from images of a prototype unit in the testing stage, which typically closely resembles the final product. While it is plausible to anticipate some minor adjustments, it is important to emphasize that the OnePlus V Fold will unquestionably possess its own distinctive identity and will not mirror the OPPO Find N2.

The forthcoming OnePlus V Fold is set to offer an impressive faux leather back, providing a premium look and a comfortable feel in hand. Our images of the OnePlus Fold also reveal its triple rear camera system, proudly displaying the iconic Hasselblad branding. Notably, a periscope lens is present, enabling Samsung S23 Ultra-like optical zoom features.

At the center of the front screen, a selfie camera is elegantly positioned. When you unfold the screen, an inner selfie camera awaits at the left-side corner of the phone. Renders also confirm the presence of a triple speaker system on the OnePlus folding phone, promising an immersive audio experience. The hinge mechanism appears to be inspired by the OPPO Find N2 and Samsung Galaxy Z foldables.

It is important to note that while the renders we have showcased depict a prototype of the OnePlus V Fold featuring a faux leather finish, OnePlus may also introduce variants of the device that employ more traditional and premium materials such as metal or glass. This offers a wider range of options to suit different aesthetic preferences and cater to individual tastes. We would like to also emphasize that name of the OnePlus’ first folding phone is not final so it may change.
