Natural abhors a vacuum, and in the absence of a new version of the OnePlus Open foldable phone, we're getting treated to speculation that we may never see a foldable from OnePlus again. That's how I choose to view the reports bubbling up out China that speculate a company is about to discontinue its foldable phone efforts, with fingers pointing at the phone making conglomerate that includes OnePlus.
Specifically, 163.com in China claims a major company will suspend its foldable phone product lines, though the report never seems to explicitly say who that will be. (In fairness, that could be a limitation of the translation feature that converted the report into English.) Nevertheless, a number of tech sites like NotebookCheck and Android Central have picked up on the report and, by the process of elimination, the assumption is we're talking about Vivo, Oppo and OnePlus, who all fall under the BBK Electronics umbrella.
