As the foldable smartphone trend continues to gain momentum in the market, several major companies are jumping on the bandwagon to launch their foldable devices. While Samsung is leading the foldable market with its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip devices, other companies like Xiaomi, Huawei, and Oppo are looking to come up with their foldable lineup in the coming days. Now, a recent patent has revealed that the Chinese giant OnePlus is also working on a tri-folding device with a dual-hinge design.
Now, to get a better look at the OnePlus foldable phone, LetsGoDigital partnered with concept artist Parvez Khan (aka Technizo Concept) to develop 3D renders of the device. You can check them out in the slideshow below.
As per the renders, the device looks much bigger than current foldable devices in its unfolded form. However, once folded, it becomes a compact smartphone, though a bit thicker than existing foldables.
Furthermore, OnePlus is planning on using different kinds of mechanisms to develop the device. For instance, there is a circular sliding knob on the device that locks the folding position. This way, users can lock the folding position of the device to prevent unintentional folding or unfolding.
