OnePlus has released an update, OxygenOS 15.0.0.700, for its OnePlus Open foldable smartphone. The most notable new feature is the introduction of resizable folders on the home screen, which users can adjust to dimensions of 1-by-2 or 2-by-1. This update represents a significant enhancement for OnePlus’s only foldable phone to date.
Additionally, the update allows users to rename app groups, improves animations for notifications and Quick Settings, enhances the widget designs for Zomato and Blinkit in the Shelf feature, and upgrades music player controls in Live Alerts for Spotify.

I’ll share information about the OnePlus Open foldable smartphone based on what I know.
The OnePlus Open was released in October 2023 and features a 6.31-inch front display with a 20:9 aspect ratio, along with a 7.6-inch main folding display. Both screens have a 2K resolution and peak brightness capabilities of up to 2800 nits.
The device launched with Android 13 and OxygenOS 13.2 but has since received updates, including Android 14. OnePlus has also developed a feature called Open Canvas specifically for this device, allowing for advanced multitasking and improved app compatibility on the folding display.
OnePlus has committed to providing four years of operating system (OS) updates and five years of security updates for the Open. This ensures that the device will receive updates up to Android 17, making it competitive with other Android manufacturers.
Reports indicate that a successor, tentatively named the OnePlus Open 2, is expected before the end of the year.

The successor was meant to be the Oppo Find N5. I’ve spent the past month using Oppo’s latest folding phone, and it’s my favorite folding phone right now. It offers a significantly improved experience over the OnePlus Open, but there's one problem: you can't buy it.

OnePlus 13 Mini tipped to have bigger battery than OnePlus 13
The OnePlus 13 Mini (or 13T, depending on the naming scheme) could end up with a larger battery than its flagship cousin, according to leaker Digital Chat Station. According to the tipster, the OnePlus 13 Mini will have a 6,200mAh battery versus the OnePlus 13's 6,000mAh battery.
Considering the smaller size of the OnePlus 13 Mini, a larger battery capacity is impressive enough. Throw in the fact that it will have a 6.3-inch display instead of the 6.8-inch display of the OnePlus 13, and its power demands should drop by a large margin.
