2021 has seen the rise of foldable smartphones more than any other year. Earlier we saw the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 go official and now, the OnePlus Tri-Fold is reportedly in the works. We also got to see the Xiaomi MIX Fold go official in China this year. Meanwhile, the Google Pixel Fold is reportedly in the works as well. It only makes sense for a smartphone giant like OnePlus to join the trend now.
Popular tech portal, LetsGoDigital, uncovered a Shenzen OnePlus patent for their OnePlus Tri-Fold smartphone. Moreover, the three parts of its display have been brought to life by Gao Yang. This will be the very first foldable smartphone by OnePlus, according to the LetsGoDigital report. This smartphone has already been patented by OnePlus and we also get design renders based off of these patents, thanks to Technizo Concept.
