In some markets, the model will be released as Oppo Find N3
The Unbox Therapy channel featured an interview with OnePlus founder and Oppo vice president Pete Lau. Including the first time we were shown a folding OnePlus smartphone.
The model will be called OnePlus Open, and it has not yet been shown in full. In particular, the camera block remained closed with a special nozzle. But they showed how the hinge works, and in general, you can evaluate both the appearance and the proportions. In addition, you can see that the smartphone will receive the physical sound mode switch familiar to OnePlus devices.

It also turned out that the OnePlus Open will be a complete copy of the Oppo Find N3. Or the second one will be a copy of the first one. The bottom line is that OnePlus is now owned by Oppo, and as Lau revealed, the two teams have come together to create one better foldable smartphone. So it will be the same model but under different names for different markets.
This foldable phone is jointly developed by the Oppo team and the OnePlus team because we want to create synergy and bring together the best of the two teams. This foldable phone will have a different market entry strategy in different regions because right now there is only one best foldable phone. Oppo’s team has amassed a wealth of experience in foldable designs and camera technology, while OnePlus is renowned for its fast and smooth performance, lightweight design, and top-notch hardware performance. So, we have decided to combine the best of these two teams and create this foldable phone and we will use different go-to-market strategies in different regions so that more users can get this device
