I think that OnePlus foldable, much like Samsung and Huawei ones, will be likely a flop.
The technology used on these foldables is still under development and not ready for a daily usage device, the flexible plastic feels cheap and it is so easy to scratch it, we are talking like a level 3 of scratching tough, and most of the daily application aren't optimized for a flexible display. Let's don't mention the horrible curve that follows the point of flex.
Moreover a larger screen without a proper battery will result on a device that will last less than a normal one, we are still developing the new graphene batteries.
Lastly the price, these prototype, and yes I classify them as prototypes, cost A LOT: Samsung Fold is just out of league for normal people same goes for the Huawei one. Speaking of OnePlus I doubt that they will put it on market at a reasonable price: OnePlus stopped being itself some years ago, after the OP3, and now it is just a no-so-uncommon brand looking for your money.
Let's think about OnePlus pricing that has been increasing every year so far.
