OnePlus is rumoured to launch its first foldable phone as well. However, it might not be a totally new device, as it's said to be a rebranded OPPO Find N. It's worth mentioning that OnePlus had merged its business with OPPO earlier, so it's not that surprising if it came true.

OnePlus yesterday teased fans with the first official image of its upcoming smartphone, the OnePlus Nord N20 5G. Set to be released in the United States later this month, The Nord N20 is the successor to the Nord N10 which was quite successful in the region.

OnePlus also confirmed that the Nord N20 will feature a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a normal 60Hz refresh rate. There will also be a fingerprint scanner embedded under the display.

An exclusive new leak from reliable tipster Yogesh Brar claimed that we are nearing the release date Qualcomm's Snapdragon chipsets, starting with the successor to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The new chip, allegedly named Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ is expected to be released as soon as May this year.

Apparently, major smartphone manufacturers have already gotten their hands on the new chip and it will be powering their devices this year as early as June 2022. Furthermore, Qualcomm's upcoming 700 series chips have also reportedly been received by manufacturers and may be powering mid-range smartphones by the end of the year.

If the roadmap that leaked yesterday were accurate, OnePlus would be launching the Nord 3 in July. However, it looks like it is not the only product that the brand will bring in that month. According to the latest information, the very-first Nord smartwatch and earbuds could also appear alongside the smartphone.

Someone has shared the product launch roadmap of OnePlus, giving us an overall look at the devices that the company will present this year. According to it, there will be a total of six OnePlus smartphones coming in 2022, and we're quite close to the launch of a few of them too. 

We might be seeing a new OnePlus smartphone soon after the company was recently spotted receiving the mandatory 3C Certification in China for a device codenamed ‘PGKM10’. Shared by reliable tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the upcoming OnePlus device will feature the Dimensity 8100 chipset and a whopping 160W fast charging capabilities.

Previously, Oppo was reported to be including a 150W fast charging tech in its latest smartphone and it seems that OnePlus is one-upping its partner company in this regard. Furthermore, given the device has already passed 3C Certification, it is very likely that OnePlus would be releasing this PGKM10 device soon.

For OnePlus fans, one of the more disappointing things was the decision to drop OxygenOS for the OPPO ColorOS. Back in June 2021, the company revealed that it would be merging OxygenOS and ColorOS. Now, we finally have some details on the new operating system.

The OnePlus 10 series might not be the only flagship devices that the company launches this year. According to new information, OnePlus could introduce an "ultra flagship" in the second half of 2022.

OnePlus started as a brand that sells flagship smartphones at affordable prices and was known as the 'flagship killer'. However, over the years, the company's pricing strategy has changed. It's now not-so-different from other smartphone manufacturers who make premium flagships, like Samsung. Rumour has it, OnePlus might be returning to what makes it the brand today, and that's selling flagships at lower prices.

Recently, we’ve been seeing a few patents relating to foldable smartphones from different smartphone brands like OPPO, Samsung, HUAWEI, and Xiaomi. Today, there’s a new patent from OnePlus which indicates a tri-folding smartphone which has three-display.
