There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding the OnePlus Open in recent days, and the leaks continue as we approach the October 19 launch date – including a new rumor about the rear camera and screen specs for the upcoming foldable.
This comes from the generally reliable Digital chat station on the Chinese social media site Weibo (via Android Authority), which says the foldable phone will come with a 48MP main camera and a 64MP periscope camera with 3x optical zoom on the back.
While the third rear camera isn’t mentioned here, it’s believed to be a 48MP ultra-wide module. Previous rumors had suggested that the 64MP camera would be a telephoto camera and not a periscope, and 6x optical zoom has also been mentioned before – so not all of these camera rumors are correct.
The same tipster says the OnePlus Open will have a 2K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate screen, with a relatively high peak brightness of 2,800 nits. For comparison, the Google Pixel Fold display can reach a maximum of 1,450 nits.
Gold is the color?
A few additional points: Wired charging could reach up to 100W, according to this source, although wireless charging support isn’t expected. What we can be sure of, OnePlus has informed us, is that the phone will be launched on Thursday, October 19.
Meanwhile, serial tipster Evan Blas has posted several photos of the upcoming Oppo Find N3 in a Gold color that has not been revealed before. We can get a good look at the slimness of the frame, as well as the triple-lens camera module that mounts around the back of the foldable camera.

At this point we should remind you that OnePlus and Oppo (which are basically the same company) are developing their foldable handsets together – we’re talking about the same phone here, although it will be called OnePlus Open in some markets (including the UK and US ) and the Oppo Find N3 in other markets.
So while it’s by no means certain that the OnePlus Fold will also arrive in gold – considering we’ve only heard of black and green shades so far – it looks like there’s a chance we’ll get a gold option too.
