OnePlus is known for its clean and bloat-free software experience, but the company has recently confirmed that its first foldable phone, the OnePlus Open, will come with a few pre-installed apps. This has led to some criticism from users, but OnePlus has explained its decision in a recent statement.
In the statement, OnePlus says that it has worked closely with mainstream app developers to ensure compatibility with the OnePlus Open’s new foldable design. However, the company also acknowledges that the foldable form factor is still relatively new and that there may be some compatibility issues.
To address this, OnePlus has decided to pre-install a few select apps on the OnePlus Open. These apps have been carefully selected to ensure that they are essential for a good user experience and that they are fully compatible with the foldable form factor.
OnePlus also says that it believes that this approach strikes the right balance between delivering a seamless user experience and ensuring the stability and security of its products. The company has assured users that it will continue to monitor the situation and make changes as needed.
