OnePlus Open: Revolutionizing Foldable Phones in India
OnePlus has unveiled its groundbreaking foldable phone in India. It is called the OnePlus Open. The OnePlus Open sets itself apart with remarkable durability and design innovations. It incorporates cobalt molybdenum alloy and titanium alloy. It makes it lighter and more robust than conventional foldable phones.
They use 316L surgical-grade stainless steel. The hinge’s spine plate is crafted from zirconium-based amorphous alloy, twice as strong as surgical-grade stainless steel, ensuring excellent wear and scratch resistance.
A milestone 10 years in the making.
