The OnePlus Open could beat Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 on price

According to leaked specifications, the OnePlus Open could be a very valid competitor to theSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. However, it could even beat its rival considerably when it comes to price.

If that turns out to be true (and we have no reason to think otherwise) it’d give those in the market for a new foldable phone food for thought.

After all, the OnePlus Open is set to have a beefed-up Hasselblad camera unit on the rear, with three cameras – 48-megapixel main, 48-megapixel ultrawide, and a 64-megapixel periscope lens.

It will reportedly run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and have up to 16GB of RAM. Storage options could include 1TB of internal space.

Other rumoured specs include an internal 7,82-inch AMOLED display, with a 6.31-inch AMOLED screen on the outside of the phone for use when folded.

There is also a suggestion that it will have a 4,805mAh, but we don’t know yet how that will affect battery life or how fast it can be charged.

We’ll bring you more on the Open and Find N3 in the coming days.
