    It’s likely getting delayed: https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-open-reportedly-delayed/

    According to journalist Max Jambor, who earlier claimed that OnePlus Open will release in late August, the company’s first foldable phone will now face a delay in launch. OnePlus was reportedly not happy with the performance of the display provided by Chinese company BOE, resulting in the delay in launch. The company is now testing the OnePlus Open with display panels from Samsung, which, per Jambor, managed to meet the company’s expectations. Simply put, the delay in launch is for a good reason.

      A Samsung display could put this device in Samsung/Apple tier territory real quick if they price it right and at least match Samsung on software updates.

      The Open is quickly becoming what the Pixel Fold should have been.
