OnePlus's foldable smartphone is expected to launch this year at MWC 2023.

We're at MWC covering all the newest developments in mobile technology from the industry floor, and we have another major revelation for you today. Following up on our coverage on the OnePlus 11 cooling idea yesterday, we now have official word that the OnePlus foldable smartphone, which is officially confirmed to launch in 2023, is something intriguing.

With no official name for the device yet and no disclosed technical specifications, we don't know a whole lot about the OnePlus foldable smartphone. However, the press release includes a remark from OnePlus President and COO Kinder Liu, who says, "Our first foldable phone will have the signature OnePlus fast and smooth experience." Because of its folding shape, it must be a flagship phone that pushes boundaries in terms of mechanical technology, industrial design, and other areas. Thus, we anticipate a really fascinating piece of equipment here.

OnePlus's future development ambitions, with a focus on interoperability across its mobile and other technologies, are also included in the news release. The business revealed some of its intentions to create a smart ecosystem in the next three to five years at the OnePlus foldable reveal panel. The ultimate objective is to have seamless connection across your devices.

The announcement of a Oneplus folding smartphone demonstrates the current level of industry interest in and investment in foldable technology. As the announcement coincides with the debut of Honor's Magic VS, another small foldable smartphone, Samsung seems to have some genuine competition in the foldable market.
