Worked with developers to ensure apps harmony with fold design: OnePlus- QHN

“OnePlus prioritizes delivering a swift, smooth, and untroubled customer experience above all else. For the introduction of OnePlus Open, we’ve worked closely with a variety of mainstream app developers to ensure their apps are compatible with our new foldable design, enhancing the user experience. This includes Facebook, a widely-used mobile app, in our targeted markets. The work required substantial effort from both parties, and we believe the results are not only significant but also extremely meaningful for our foldable device users,” said a OnePlus spokesperson in a statement shared with Business Standard.

Alongside, OnePlus confirmed that its maiden foldable device would come with a small number of apps pre-installed. The company believes this approach strikes the right balance between delivering a novel and seamless user experience while preserving the stability and security of its products.
