Bollywood sensation Anushka Sharma has recently made headlines by being spotted with one of the most eagerly anticipated handsets – the OnePlus Open, poised for an imminent launch in India. In an Instagram video shared by Viral Bhayani, Anushka was seen holding the OnePlus Open handset.

The video showcases Anushka using the OnePlus Open phone while seated in her car, making it unmistakably clear that she is in possession of the yet-to-be-launched model in India. The OnePlus Open has been generating a significant buzz among tech enthusiasts, primarily due to its distinctive camera array, which aligns with the company’s hallmark design philosophy.

The video highlights Anushka’s unique interaction with the phone. She raises the device to an unusual height and gradually unfolds it, revealing its design to the viewers. The phone’s design is intriguing, featuring a substantial camera panel on one side, accompanied by a small flash in the top corner. On the opposite side, an external display can be seen.

The OnePlus Open is positioned as a foldable smartphone with a substantial screen size. Earlier rumors surrounding this upcoming model suggested that its design would lean towards the likes of the Google Pixel Fold or Find N2, rather than following the design path of the Galaxy Z Fold 5.

Leaked information suggests that the OnePlus Open will be powered by the high-performance octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. Additionally, the device is rumored to sport a generous display with a 7.8-inch 2K AMOLED primary screen, complemented by a 6.3-inch AMOLED external display. Both screens are expected to support a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Furthermore, the OnePlus Open is anticipated to boast a versatile camera setup, featuring a 50MP lens with optical image stabilization, another 48MP wide-angle lens, and a 32MP periscope lens in its rear camera module.
