OnePlus to launch its first foldable smartphone in August: Report

OnePlus is expected to launch its first foldable smartphone called OnePlus Fold in August this year. Previously, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau had announced that OnePlus’s foldable phone will launch in Q 2023. A report by 91Mobile suggests that OnePlus Fold will debut in early August in New York.  

If this report is to be believed, OnePlus Fold will launch a couple of weeks after the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 in India. Samsung is rumoured to host its Galaxy Unpacked global launch event on July 26 this year.

Unlike Google Pixel Fold, OnePlus Fold will likely be launched in all global markets with OnePlus’ presence including India, the US, and others.
