These Apps Are Pre-Installed On OnePlus Open Foldable Phone: Full List – News18

The OnePlus Open is without doubt one of the costliest foldable telephones you should purchase out there and even then it’s cheaper than what Samsung fees for its Galaxy Z Fold 5. But the corporate stunned many individuals earlier than the launch by confirming that its costliest product will include preloaded apps.

After carefully having a look on the OnePlus foldable and going by means of the checklist of apps preloaded on the system, we lastly discovered that it has Facebook, Netflix and even the Meta Installer app working within the OxygenOS model you get with the OnePlus Open out of the field.

OnePlus defended its resolution to pre-load apps on its foldable that’s priced at Rs 1,39,900 in markets like India. For the introduction of the OnePlus Open, we’ve labored carefully with quite a lot of mainstream app builders to make sure their apps are suitable with our new foldable design, enhancing the consumer expertise,” OnePlus had mentioned in a press release just lately.

This isn’t the first time that OnePlus has offered Meta’s products on its phones. OnePlus had done this with the OnePlus 8 series which had launched in 2020 but was later removed from the later generations. But it seems the company, now working with Oppo, has decided to bring these apps back to the platform, which might not please people who would like to buy the high-end OnePlus foldable.

While Facebook and Netflix can be uninstalled, you can’t do that with the Meta Installer and Meta App Manager that are baked into the app settings of the device. In addition to this, you have apps like Theme Store, Games and a few more that are notorious for pushing ads if you don’t disable their notifications.

Like we have said before, if other premium brands like Samsung can be grilled for pushing pre-loaded ads then OnePlus also deserves the flak for doing so, even if it claims the apps have been offered to provide a seamless experience on its foldable.
