Foldable phones are growing in popularity, with big releases and strong regional growth, but owners cite persistent drawbacks: hinges that wear and accumulate dust, shorter battery life due to thin, multi‑screen designs, and design quirks like unusual aspect ratios and a visible crease along the hinge, plus fragile screens and gunk-prone screen protectors.
Apple reportedly plans to unveil a foldable iPhone in September, likely named iPhone Ultra, with a 7.7-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer display and improved screen quality and durability. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says engineers have reduced the screen crease, though not eliminated it, while Ming-Chi Kuo has suggested a near-crease-free inner panel; the device is expected to open like a book and feature two rear cameras, a front camera, and a Touch ID power button.
A new video showcasing the OnePlus Open foldable phone reveals its hinge design and screen crease situation. The device's hinge design is derived from the Oppo Fold N2, and it is essentially the same device as Oppo's next book-style foldable. The video highlights the relatively clean crease of the OnePlus Open compared to other foldables like the Pixel Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 5. The device undergoes durability tests, including drops, bend tests, and water resistance. The OnePlus Open is set to debut on October 19 with top-end specs and a promising entry into the foldable space.
