Tech NewsWrap: OnePlus foldable phone in the works… and more
OnePlus foldable phone in the works
OnePlus is working on its first foldable smartphone, according to PriceBaba and tipster Yogesh Brar, although it is anticipated to be a copy of the new Oppo Find N folding phone that debuted in China recently. For the unversed, BBK Electronics owns Oppo and OnePlus, so there’s a chance the rumour is accurate. It’s probable that the upcoming foldable OnePlus phone is a renamed version of the Oppo Find N, which debuted in China last December.

WhatsApp to roll out ETA when sharing documents
For downloading and uploading media files, WhatsApp will now notify you of the expected time of arrival (ETA). This comes after it was announced that the Meta-owned messaging network was testing 2GB media files, up from the existing file size of 25MB only. This functionality was only available to a select group of beta testers in Argentina. The size of the final rollout may alter, either increasing to 2GB or 1GB, or remaining unchanged.
