OnePlus Open launch details

OnePlus Open was reportedly scheduled to launch on August 29th in New York. But the launch has been pushed further, according to tipster Max Jambor. The reason behind the delay is due to the OnePlus Open screens that were first supposed to be supplied by BOE. However, OnePlus is now opting for Samsung display panels for its foldable phone. There’s no new release date for the OnePlus Open.
