OnePlus founder confirms: OnePlus Open and OPPO Find N3 are the same device

Pete Lau, co-founder of OnePlus and chief product officer of OPPO, confirmed that both manufacturers will release the same foldable smartphone under a different name. The foldables will reportedly be called OnePlus Open and OPPO Find N3.

Pete Lau tasked the teams from both companies to jointly develop the foldable device, so that both brands can be launched in different markets. That’s what Lau says to The Verge. OPPO’s CPO did not say which device will come to which market.

The OPPO Find N3 will be according to GSMArena Only released for the Chinese market. The OnePlus Open, on the other hand, should count on a worldwide release. At the end of August, OPPO also released the Find N3 Flip. That device is available outside China. This was also the case with the Find N2 Flip, while the Find N2 was only released in China.

According to OPPO, the hinge of the Find N3 is about 37 percent stronger than in the Find N2. The manufacturer also says that the device will have an alert slider. The foldable will reportedly have a 7.82″ display on the inside and a 6.31″ screen on the outside. Rumors indicate that the device will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. There may be up to 24GB of internal memory available and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage.

The above specs should therefore also apply to the OnePlus Open, which according to the latest rumors will be released on October 19. Earlier today, the foldable was spotted in the hands of an Indian actress.
