It's interesting to see OnePlus' first foldable. There's a video review of an early sample in the linked article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWclrhYkRn0

As someone who worked in an electronics repair shop let me just say this: beware of folding phones. I will be the first to admit that the screen really does look great and I love the large landscape... when it's working. There are so many issues that come up with folding technology. I've had to repair so many Z Folds and Z Flips. The OEM screen protector constantly lifts and bubbles at the hinge. A lot of times there's pixel bleeding along the hinge. The repairability is a nightmare. Think about taking out components of a normal phone. Now double it and imagine having to carefully remove an outside LCD that is incredibly sensitive and breaks at the slightest touch. Replacing a drained battery or any small component like a sub-pba, mic, camera, orr anything else is a nightmare.
Don't foldables use OLED?
the Z Fold and Flip both have an LCD in the front of it in addition to its fold-able screen. As for the fold-able screens, yes they use OLED technology.
My z fold 3 most definitely has AMOLED screens on the outer display & the inner display.
Whenever I ordered the part it was listed as LCD so idk. Maybe Samsung gave us an LCD for replacement but out of the factory they're AMOLED
