- The OnePlus Open 2 could arrive soon
- It is rumored that the construction will be more robust, lighter and thinner
- The Honor Magic V3 is currently the thinnest foldable device
The OnePlus Open 2 is shaping up to be a fantastic foldable device, with new details emerging about what to expect from the phone: apparently it will be the thinnest foldable device yet while also offering an improved titanium construction.
These predictions come from two well-known tipsters, Digital Chat Station and Smart Pikachu (via Android Authority). Both leaks mention the Oppo Find N5, which is expected to be marketed as the OnePlus Open 2 outside of China – just as the Oppo Find N3 was rebranded as the original OnePlus Open.
It mentions that the foldable device is the “thinnest in the world” (according to Google Translate). This would mean that the OnePlus Open 2 would have to be less than 9.2 mm thick when closed like the Honor Magic V3.
In fact, there have been rumors about this since last September, suggesting anticipation for OnePlus' second foldable device. We don't get any information about how thin the phone might be, but it sounds like it will be super thin.
Lighter and more robust
Both of these leaks mention titanium being used in the construction and a “new industrial design focused on durability” (again via Google Translate). This suggests that we are looking at a phone that will be both lighter and more robust.
There's also talk of a triple-lens camera with periscope zoom and Hasselblad technology, satellite communication capabilities, a Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition chipset, a battery with a capacity approaching 6,000 mAh (as previously rumored), and wireless charging – all of which sounds good to us.
One of these tipsters mentions a half-year gap between the next foldable phone and this one – and with new foldable phones from Google and Samsung expected around July, the OnePlus Open 2 could be with us before the end of February.
There was some debate about when the OnePlus Open 2 would see the light of day – remember, the first OnePlus Open phone launched in October 2023, so we've been waiting for its successor for more than a year now.
