The OnePlus Open is expected to feature a folding mechanism that will be even more durable than the mechanism used by the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
Based on the revolutionary Oppo Find N3 foldable, the OnePlus Open is expected to feature impressive internal and external displays with a higher pixel density than the dual displays found on the Galaxy Z Fold 5. The OnePlus Open is likely to feature a 7.82-inch internal display with a resolution of 2268 x 2240 and a pixel density of 426 pixels per inch (PPI). Let's compare these specs to the Z Fold 5's internal display, which is 7.6 inches in size, has a resolution of 2176 x 1812, and a pixel density of 373.

The external screen of the OnePlus Open is expected to have dimensions of 6.31 inches with a resolution of 1116 x 2484. If we compare this with the external cover screen of 6.2 inches on the Galaxy Z Fold 5, which will have a resolution of 904 x 2316, we can determine that the OnePlus Open offers higher resolution and screen dimensions.
The “hinge” on the OnePlus Open is believed to be more durable than the “Flex Hinge” used in Samsung. According to information from journalist Max Jambor, the OnePlus Open has been extensively tested and the device can be opened and closed at least 400,000 times. This number corresponds to opening and closing the phone 100 times a day for more than four years.

It's expected that a OnePlus foldable phone will be more affordable than a Galaxy. However, the optimization isn't just limited to the lower price, but could also offer a more durable connection, higher-resolution displays with more pixels per inch, more RAM, more battery capacity, and possibly an improved camera.
