We detect a device whose screen appears to be folded. However, upon closer inspection, one gets the impression that these two screens are connected by a hinge. Each segment displays the same background, showing a galaxy. A veiled reference to its competitor.

A serious project… or a joke?

design reminiscent of Surface Duo from Microsoft or even LG dual screen, a cover that made it possible to add a second screen to your smartphone – the G8X ThinQ, in 2019. It could thus be an accessory the company would have liked to accentuate with a touch of humor…or just a desire to grab attention while the entire mobility community focuses on Samsung.

We can already legitimately question why the brand wouldn’t want to focus more on such an important ad. We have contacted OnePlus in France, and their representative had no further information on this subject. So we will wait for the fateful hour to find out what it is all about.
