The OnePlus V Flip has been the subject of much speculation since we first heard about it in early 2023.
While the release of the OnePlus Open 2 has been the subject of rumors for some time now, the brand could also be preparing to launch a clamshell model.
Here's everything we know so far about the phone's release date, price, and potential specs.
When will the OnePlus V Flip be released?
A recent rumor suggests that the OnePlus V Flip is due for a Launch in the second quarter of 2025 (between April and June). This delay was shared by a major Chinese leaker, Digital Chat Station.
If true, this would make the V Flip the second foldable device in OnePlus' portfolio, after the OnePlus Open.

Earlier speculation indicated that the V Flip was a rebranded version of the Oppo Find N5 Flip. However, Yogesh Brar said earlier this year that the Find N5 Flip project had been canceled.
These developments raise the question of whether the V Flip will borrow design elements or technology from Oppo's abandoned plans. As always with leaks, it's wise to approach these reports with some skepticism.
How much will the OnePlus V Flip cost?
While there is no confirmed pricing for the OnePlus V Flip, its main competitor in the foldable market provides some clues.
The best clamshell foldables like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Motorola Razr 50 Ultra usually start around £999/$999.
Given OnePlus' track record of offering premium features at competitive prices, the V Flip could enter the market at a slightly lower price to gain traction.
Therefore, an introductory price of between £899 and £999 seems plausible.
What specs and features will the OnePlus V Flip have?
While official details are still under wraps, we can speculate on some features and specifications based on trends in the foldable market and OnePlus' history of hardware innovation.
Design
The OnePlus V Flip could adopt a compact and elegant design, typical of clamshell foldables. Like its competitors, it can feature a durable hinge mechanism and glass-to-metal construction.

If the device takes inspiration from the Oppo Find N series, we can expect a seamless foldable display and a relatively large cover screen for notifications and quick tasks.
Display
The main foldable display will likely use AMOLED technology for vivid colors and deep blacks, paired with a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and animations.

The outer cover screen may offer additional features, such as widgets, notifications, and basic app interactions.
Performance
OnePlus devices are known for their excellent performance, and the V Flip is expected to follow suit with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or even 8 Elite chipset.
This would ensure industry-leading processing power for multitasking, gaming, and running foldable-specific software features.

RAM configurations will likely range between 8GB and 12GB, with storage options starting at 256GB.
Cameras
The OnePlus V Flip could feature a dual-camera setup on the back, optimized for both regular photography and the unique angles possible with a foldable device.

A 32MP or 50MP primary sensor paired with an ultra-wide lens is a likely combination. The interior display could house a punch-hole selfie camera, possibly in the 16Mp range.
Battery and charging
The V Flip can pack a 3,700-4,000 mAh battery, which is comparable to its current clamshell competitors.

Fast charging, a signature of OnePlus devices, is expected. We expect speeds of 67W or more, and there is a possibility of wireless charging support.
Software
The V Flip will run OxygenOS, likely based on Android 15, depending on its release schedule.
Until launch, OnePlus could further optimize the software for foldable functionality, offering features like split-screen multitasking and app continuity between the inner screen and the cover screen.
