OnePlus is making a cheaper foldable phone to rival Z Flip FE

OnePlus' flip phone could rival Galaxy Z Flip FE

A tipster from China, known as Digital Chat Station, claims that OnePlus is working on a flip-style foldable smartphone like the Galaxy Z Flip 6.

He also claims that it is an Ace series smartphone, which means it won't be a true high-end device. The Ace series is more like Samsung's Galaxy FE series, which offers many high-end specifications but cuts some corners to keep the price low. The Ace series that is launched in China is usually launched as the R series globally.

So, it appears that OnePlus is already targeting Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z Flip FE with its Ace series foldable smartphone. This phone will reportedly be launched in the second quarter of 2025.

The first OnePlus foldable phone, the OnePlus Open, is a rebranded version of OPPO's Find N3. So, it is possible that OnePlus' first flip phone could be a rebranded version of the OPPO Find N3 Flip. The Find N3 Flip has a triple-camera setup featuring a primary camera, an ultrawide camera, and a telephoto camera.

If OnePlus' first flip phone has a dedicated telephoto camera, it could trump the Galaxy Z Flip FE in imaging.
