OnePlus V Flip: First Clamshell Foldable Expected in 2025

With the launch of clamshell foldable phones, OnePlus is said to be working on entering it, although its first clamshell foldable phone presumably called the OnePlus V Flip, and expected sometime in Q2 2025. It will be OnePlus’s second foldable after its first-gen foldable, the unique OnePlus Open that was launched recently and this is likely to have a competing phone in the market with other makers of foldables like Samsung or Oppo as well.

OnePlus to Launch Flip Phone in Q2 2025, Expanding Its Foldable Portfolio

Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station first shared the rumor about the OnePlus V Flip along with the expected launch timeframe, fueling discussions among tech enthusiasts. But besides a launch window, we don’t know anything else specific about the phone. Details on its design, features, and specifications are included as well, but many remain unanswered. It was also rumored that the OnePlus V Flip is basically a rebadged Oppo Find N5 Flip.

This expectation was bolstered by reports of potential technology and component sharing between the two brands. This made it seem like the potential OnePlus V Flip would be based on the Oppo Find N5 flip apart from Find N and Find N2, but Oppo has now canceled the Find N5 flip, so this may not be as conclusive as thought. That said, details of OnePlus’s specific foldable plan are now unclear.

However, the OnePlus V Flip will be likely to sport a design similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series as a compact clamshell smartphone. The phone will most definitely bring some premium materials for durability, especially on the hinge which is an essential part of any foldable device. In terms of performance, it is likely to be offered with a flagship-grade chipset and this should mean that the new Pixel smartphones would have smooth multi-tasking and fast performance. For storage, it will presumably now be getting tons of RAM to handle the demanding apps and processes.

Moreover, similar to the OnePlus Open, the OnePlus V Flip could also be equipped with a multi-camera setup consisting of multiple lenses for photography. Although not much is known about details yet, the OnePlus V Flip would potentially be a solid rival in the foldable segment and could give users a slick and powerful option if they want something smaller that folds.
