Similar to the Black version, this also has a vegan leather back. OnePlus said that the OnePlus Open Apex Edition pays homage to the iconic Hasselblad 503CW 60 Years Victor Red Edition, blending premium vegan leather with a captivating design that exudes timelessness.
Adorned with an understated yet premium vegan leather back cover, the phone boasts a diamond-like pattern and vibrant orange accent on the Alert Slider, along with a dazzling light-reflective CD pattern on the camera dial encased in a stunning luxury glass dome. Other specifications should be similar to the original OnePlus Open.
Exclusive Independent Security Chip and VIP Mode for Guaranteed Personal Security
Elevating security and privacy on the OnePlus Open Apex Edition is an independent security chip designed to strengthen the phone’s underlying security capabilities.
By offering independent, physically isolated storage and exclusive protection of important files and personal information, the OnePlus Open Apex Edition secures confidential information from the ground up. The independent security chipset has also been certified for CC EAL5+, and the NFC security chipset for CC EAL6+ and EMVCo, guaranteeing an exceptional level of security beyond all expectations.
Exclusive to the OnePlus Open Apex Edition is a brand-new, industry-first VIP mode that can be enabled via the iconic OnePlus Alert Slider. Activating the slider puts the phone in VIP mode and locks the security chip to create a completely secure and private environment where all microphones and cameras on the phone are disabled, creating a truly VIP-level of privacy and security.
Commenting on the launch, Kinder Liu, President and COO of OnePlus, said:
The OnePlus Open is a flagship foldable masterpiece integrating our most cutting-edge technology. Since its launch last year, the series has received widespread acclaim from users worldwide. Building on what made the original the best foldable smartphone of 2023 for so many people, the new OnePlus Open Apex Edition offers a more luxurious option with enhanced storage, AI image editing features, privacy, and security. As the peak of OnePlus flagship devices and the unbeatable foldable champion of 2024, the OnePlus Open Apex Edition fully embodies our “Never Settle” mantra and marks another high for OnePlus as we embark on our second decade as a company.
Bronius Rudnickas, Global Marketing Manager at Hasselblad, said:
There’s a true synergy between Hasselblad and OnePlus. Seeing how OnePlus has integrated our cameras into their latest products with such innovative and picture-perfect design is like unboxing a long-awaited gift. The Hasselblad 503CW 60 Years Victor Red Edition is iconic, especially with its legendary burgundy-red leather accents contrasting beautifully against the other metallic silver elements. We’re truly thrilled to witness this classic color scheme revived on the OnePlus Open Apex Edition, which showcases equally impeccable craftsmanship and intricate technology that allows you to feel the complexity and delicacy behind the scenes.
