“To provide the best user experience, a small number of applications will come pre-installed on OnePlus Open. We believe this approach strikes the right balance between delivering a novel and seamless user experience while preserving the stability and security of our products,” said OnePlus in a statement.

The company apparently worked with mainstream app developers to ensure that widely used applications are compatible with the new folding design. OnePlus says that it aims to offer a hassle-free experience to users. The brand cites Facebook as an example, which is widely used in the company’s targeted markets.

“OnePlus prioritises delivering a swift, smooth, and untroubled customer experience above all else. For the introduction of OnePlus Open, we’ve worked closely with a variety of mainstream app developers to ensure their apps are compatible with our new foldable design, enhancing the user experience,” the company added.
