Pete Lau, Founder of OnePlus and SVP and CPO of OPPO, has given us an official look at an early build of the OnePlus Open, the company’s first foldable device.
In an interview with Lewis Hilsenteger, host of the YouTube channel Unbox Therapy, Lau discusses the OnePlus Open’s gapless hinge design. This design is similar to the Find N2’s hinge, but it is reportedly 37% smaller and has 31 fewer components.
Lau demonstrates the gapless design by closing the OnePlus Open with a sheet of paper stuck inside. The phone is then shown dangling from that sheet of paper without any noticeable slippage.
Thanks to the video, we also get a look at the OnePlus Open’s design from a few different angles. The phone appears to have raised bezels that are decently thick in size. However, a few parts of the phone were covered up by paper, including the camera bump.
The OnePlus Open is expected to be announced on October 19. It will be interesting to see if the final product matches the design shown off in this video.
