We do not have any pricing details on the OnePlus Open yet but it should undercut the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 following the brand’s usual tradition of aggressive pricing. OnePlus revealed its new Nord series of smartphones earlier this month and is not expected to end its cycle of phone launches this year with OnePlus Open. The OnePlus 12 is expected to make its way to the brand’s home country, China, in December with a slightly refreshed design and a periscope camera.
