A premium smartphone that looks premium and has more storage than other devices on the market (which will help with the new AI photo editing features it has).
We don’t really need another smartphone added to the list, but in this case, the phone that OnePlus announced on Wednesday is far more about style and design than about need.
The OnePlus Open Apex Edition foldable smartphone went on sale in the US starting on Wednesday, according to a press release sent to Lifewire. The Apex Edition has a brand new color that pays “a special tribute to the Hasselblad 503CW 60 Years Victor Red Edition.” That makes the color options for the Open Apex a Crimson Shadow (red), Emerald Dusk (green), or Voyager Black.
The more important part of the new edition, however, is the upgrade to storage and the AI image editing features that are included. The Open Apex will feature 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of storage. This accompanies the dual ProXDR displays, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform, 67W flash charging, and the 4th Gen Hasselblad Camera.
You can edit the images you capture with the Hasselblad camera using AI Smart Cutout, which lets you lasso objects to create custom stickers and edit your photos. Enhanced subject recognition allows you to identify and isolate people (one or more) for easier editing.
The OnePlus Open Apex Edition is also equipped with a VIP mode that you can enable via a slider on the screen. This locks the security chip on your phone to create a “private environment where all microphones and cameras on the phone are disabled, and advertising tracking is heavily restricted through chip-level permission encryption powered by the secure chip. VIP mode also prevents chat information from being viewed or recorded by apps without permission,” according to the press release.
The Open Apex edition is available to order on the OnePlus website starting on Wednesday. The phone starts at $1,900, though OnePlus does offer an “ANY device in ANY condition” trade-in that can take $100 off that price.
