OnePlus Open Foldable Phone Spotted Ahead of Possible October India Launch

OnePlus Open is expected to make its debut soon as the first foldable smartphone from OnePlus. It has been previously reported that the foldable could release on October 19. However, the company has not revealed the exact date yet. Meanwhile, there has been several leaks and rumours regarding the phone's design and specifications, which is expected to be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. Now, ahead of its India launch, Indian actress Anushka Sharma was reportedly spotted using the OnePlus Open smartphone.

YouTube creator Sufiyan Khan (@RealSufiyanKhan) recently posted pictures on X, where he claimed Anushka Sharma to be holding OnePlus Open smartphone in her hands. From the glimpses, one could spot the camera unit of the upcoming smartphone. While the company has confirmed the OnePlus Open India launch soon, it has not revealed the date for release of the foldable. 

The smartphone is likely to launch in October. An earlier report also suggested that the official debut could take place on October 19. The smartphone was initially tipped to launch in August, however, the release was pushed further due to change in display manufacturer. 

A previous report suggested that the OnePlus Open could feature an outward folding design. This will be similar to several other Android foldable such as Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, Pixel Fold, and Vivo X Fold 2. The price of the foldable is tipped to be fixed under Rs. 1,20,00. In terms of specifications, it could come with an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, along with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of inbuilt storage. The OnePlus Open smartphone is expected to sport a 7.8-inch AMOLED inner display, with a 6.3-inch AMOLED cover screen. 

The foldable is said to house a triple rear camera unit, placed in a circular module. The setup could be led by a 50-megapixel sensor, along with a 48-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 32-megapixel periscope lens. For selfies, it might include two 32-megapixel front camera sensors.

Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 alongside the Galaxy Tab S9 series and Galaxy Watch 6 series at its first Galaxy Unpacked event in South Korea.

COVID-19 origins: Should we pay more attention to the lab leak theory and formally investigate it?

Image
A year and a half into the pandemic, we still do not know exactly where the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19, came from. The prevailing view so far has been that the virus “spilled over” from bats into humans. But there are increasing calls to investigate the possibility that it emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China, where Covid first appeared at the end of 2019. So what do we know for sure, and what do we need still to find out? We know the sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is close to that of bat coronaviruses . Several decades ago its “ancestor” was circulating in bat populations in southern Asia. But there are still many unanswered questions: we don’t know how the virus arrived in Wuhan, how its sequence evolved to allow human infection, and under what conditions it infected the first people who crossed its path. And for each of these stages, we don’t know whether there was a human contribution (direct or indirect). Zoonotic transmission pathways, in other words the pas

Menstrual cups are cheaper, more sustainable than pads and tampons for women

Image
Every year in America, women spend at least US$2.8 billion on sanitary pads and tampons that can take hundreds of years to decompose . Is there a more economical and environmentally friendly way? To find out, we asked Susan Powers , a professor of sustainable environmental systems at Clarkson University about her work comparing the environmental impact of tampons, sanitary pads and menstrual cups. What is a menstrual cup? A menstrual cup is a type of reusable feminine hygiene product. It’s a small, flexible bell-shaped cup made of rubber or silicone that a woman inserts into her vagina to catch and collect menstrual fluid. It can be used for up to 12 hours, after which it is removed to dispose of the fluid and cleaned. The cup is rinsed with hot water and soap between each insertion and sterilized in boiling water at least once per period. A cup can last up to 10 years . Although menstrual cups have been around for decades, they historically have been less popular than pads or ta

Human bodies respond to infections differently depending on the time of day

Image
When microorganisms – such as bacteria or viruses – infect us, our immune system jumps into action. It’s highly trained to sense and eliminate infections and clear up any damage caused by them. It’s typically assumed our immune systems work the exact same way regardless of whether an infection occurs during the day or at night. But research spanning over half a century now shows our bodies actually respond differently at day and night. The reason for this is our body clock, and the fact that each cell in the body, including our immune cells, can tell what time of day it is. Our body clock has evolved over millions of years to help us survive. Every cell in the body has a collection of proteins that indicate the time depending on their levels. Knowing whether it’s day or night means our body can adjust its functions and behaviours (such as when we want to eat) to the correct time. Our body clock does this by generating 24 hour rhythms (also termed circadian rhythms ) in how cells f
