Aug. 7, 2024Last year, OnePlus Open went official as the brand’s very first foldable in the Emerald Dusk and Voyager Black color options. Now, the flagship foldable has received anApex Editionwhich sprinkles someCrimson Shadowhues on it. This new color option also brings along a couple of new additions to the phone. Here are all the details!
OnePlus Open Apex Edition: What’s New
The main and obvious difference lies in the color option itself, with acrimsonshade enveloping the foldable this time around. The leather back is completely crimson, but the metal frame is silver, much like the Black variant.
You can see the crimson shade bleed into the camera module’s bumps and edges as well, staying true to its character. In comparison, the Emerald Dusk color variant has emerald hues at the frame too, which you don’t see happening here. The cover included in the case gets those crimson hues too, which is another thing to note.
Additionally, the alert slider features an orange accent this time and is also backed by a dedicated VIP mode for additional privacy. This new mode allows you to use the alert slider to also turn off the foldable’s microphone, camera, notifications, and the like.
Also, you see OnePlus add double the storage to the Crimson Shadow variant, taking the number up from 512GB to 1TB. This is something that we’ve seen OnePlus do with its 11R’s Solar Red variant too, in the past.
Last but not least, the device apparently arrives with new AI image editing features as well. However, our unit hasn’t received anything as such right now. For other specifications, there is no other change on the inside of the OnePlus Open Apex Edition. From the chipset to the camera to charging capacity and speed, everything is the same.
In terms of display, the OnePlus Open features a2K Super Fluid AMOLED 6.31-inch cover screen. Meanwhile, on the inside, there’s a big2K 7.82-inch Flexi-fluid AMOLEDdisplay instead. Both displays offer a120Hz refresh rate with LTPO 3.0tech and apeak brightness of 2800 nits. The foldable features a triple-speaker setup as well, backed by Dolby Atmos.
Under the hood, the flagship foldable is powered by theQualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The processor is paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. Out of the box, the foldable runs on Android 13-based OxygenOS 13.2, backed by a promise of 3 years of major OS updates and 4 years of security patches.
