- The new OnePlus Open Apex Edition sees the foldable get a new Crimson Shadow color variant.
- This new crimson shade brings along a new VIP mode, an orange accent on the alert slider, and 1TB of storage.
- Other key specs remain the same, including the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, a big 6.3-inch cover screen and 7.8-inch inner display, and more.
Last year, OnePlus Open went official as the brand’s very first foldable in the Emerald Dusk and Voyager Black color options. Now, the flagship foldable has received an Apex Edition which sprinkles some Crimson Shadow hues on it. This new color option also brings along a couple of new additions to the phone. Here are all the details!
OnePlus Open Apex Edition: What’s New
The main and obvious difference lies in the color option itself, with a crimson shade enveloping the foldable this time around. The leather back is completely crimson, but the metal frame is silver, much like the Black variant.
You can see the crimson shade bleed into the camera module’s bumps and edges as well, staying true to its character. In comparison, the Emerald Dusk color variant has emerald hues at the frame too, which you don’t see happening here. The cover included in the case gets those crimson hues too, which is another thing to note.
Additionally, the alert slider features an orange accent this time and is also backed by a dedicated VIP mode for additional privacy. This new mode allows you to use the alert slider to also turn off the foldable’s microphone, camera, notifications, and the like.
Also, you see OnePlus add double the storage to the Crimson Shadow variant, taking the number up from 512GB to 1TB. This is something that we’ve seen OnePlus do with its 11R’s Solar Red variant too, in the past.
Last but not least, the device apparently arrives with new AI image editing features as well. However, our unit hasn’t received anything as such right now. For other specifications, there is no other change on the inside of the OnePlus Open Apex Edition. From the chipset to the camera to charging capacity and speed, everything is the same.
