If you've been thinking of joining the wearable revolution then it's worth waiting to see what's coming next week. Chinese brand OnePlus - which is famed for shaking up the market - has just exposed its upcoming device and it could give the likes of Samsung, Motorola and Google a run for their money.

The OnePlus Open, which has a foldable screen just like the Galaxy Fold and Pixel Fold, will be officially unveiled next week at an event in India but ahead of the launch, the company has released a teaser image along with big claims about this future device.

"The OnePlus Open will redefine the concept of foldable smartphones by delivering all-round flagship-level experiences that push the limits of current foldable smartphones and take the standard of foldables to the next level," said by Kinder Liu, President and COO of OnePlus.

Nothing else has been officially uncovered in the message sent to media but rumours suggest it will feature a giant 7.6-inch tablet-style screen that snaps in half to make it more pocketable.

Leaked images have also shown a triple-lens camera system on the rear case which sits inside a circular panel. It's thought it will be powered by Qualcomm's latest 8 Gen 2 processor and have fast charging.
