Source-derived summary

The OnePlus Open is a foldable smartphone manufactured by OnePlus. The phone was co-developed with its parent company Oppo which markets the phone as the Oppo Find N3. The product was revealed on 19 October 2023.

A follow-up VIP Apex Edition, Crimson Shadow, was launched late 2024, with 1TB storage as opposed to the standard 512GB storage. There is also an additional security chip built in which shows for VIP access when toggling the alert slider to the standard silent mode. VIP mode disables camera, microphone and location on a hardware level so no app can access them. You have the software option in settings though, to change VIP mode back to the regular mode of ring, vibrate, silent. The Crimson Shadow back is made from the same faux leather as the Voyager Black model.

History

In early October 2023, OnePlus' co-founder and CEO Pete Lau confirmed that the OnePlus Open was designed by both OnePlus and Oppo, and that it would be released under both brands with different names. It was rumored that Oppo's name would be the Oppo Find N3.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “OnePlus Open”, the useful work is to connect “foldable smartphone developed by OnePlus and Oppo” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q123232418. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2023 and 2024.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
