FULL STORY
======================================================================

OnePlus is expected to debut its first foldable phone, the OnePlus Open , any 
day now, but it looks like the cat might be out of the bag a little early, as 
what looks like a OnePlus foldable device has just been spotted in the wild. 

Over the weekend, prolific leaker OnLeaks posted a video of the rumored 
device being wielded by well-known Indian actor Anushka Sharma as they were 
driven through a crowded street. In the video, Sharma holds the phone at an 
angle and opens it out, revealing it to be a folding handset. 

How do we know this is a OnePlus device? Well, it has a giant circular camera 
area on the back, similar to what we've seen on many of the companys phones, 
such as the OnePlus 11 5G . Its hard to imagine any other company bringing 
out a phone with a similar-looking camera system. A debut foldable Sooooooo 
obviously on purpose... I mean, who the hell with such an ultra secret 
prototype in his hands holds it and poses like that in public?! C'mon

As well as that, the imminent release date of OnePluss foldable phone hints 
that this could be a not-so-subtle attempt to build hype for the product. 
After all, theres nothing like giving expectant fans a teaser to get tongues 
wagging and mice clicking. 

Conspicuously, Sharma hardly seems to be shy about the phone  instead of 
hiding such a secret device away from prying eyes, he holds it at an angle 
for passersby to see, then slowly and methodically opens it out to make it 
obvious that its a folding phone. It all feels very staged in order to get 
people excited for the Open. 

 According to the various rumors we've heard , the OnePlus Open will come 
with a vertical hinge, along with a roughly 7.7-inch internal display and a 
6.3-inch external display, both with AMOLED tech and 120Hz refresh rates. Two 
of the upcoming colors are expected to be dubbed Emerald Eclipse and Voyage 
Black, with the latter a likely candidate for the dark device Sharma held up 
for the cameras. 

Whispered details and specifications aside, well likely get a proper look at 
the OnePlus Open this month, when the company is widely expected to launch 
the device  well then know for sure whether Sharma was indeed showing off 
OnePlus's first foldable, or something else entirely. You might also like
