As mentioned earlier, OnePlus said it would not launch a foldable this year. The company stated:
At OnePlus, our core strength and passion lie in setting new benchmarks and challenging the status quo across all product categories. With that in mind, we’ve carefully considered the timing and our next steps in foldable devices, and we have made the decision not to release a foldable this year.
So, it’s peculiar that Yadav would suggest this is a foldable phone. It’s possible this could be guesswork on Yadav’s part, but it’s also possible he could be saying Pagani is a foldable OnePlus will release in 2026. Another possibility is this could be a new flip-style foldable the company is working on. Or maybe it’s not a foldable at all, but rather the OnePlus 13 Mini that’s expected to launch around May.
