Mumbai, January 20 – The OnePlus Open 2, expected to launch internationally as a rebranded Oppo Find N5, is making waves with its rumored design and features. If recent leaks are accurate, the OnePlus Open 2 could set a new benchmark as the world’s thinnest foldable smartphone, overtaking the current record holder, the Honor Magic V3.
Oppo recently confirmed that its new foldable smartphone, the Find N5, will debut in China this February. Based on past launches, the Find N5 is likely to hit global markets as the OnePlus Open 2. Leaks from popular sources such as Digital Chat Station and Smart Pikachu have only heightened excitement among fans eagerly waiting for the sequel to the OnePlus Open.
Slimmest Foldable Design Yet
Oppo’s Senior Vice President, Liu Zuohu, has referred to the Find N5 as the slimmest foldable phone ever. For context, the Honor Magic V3 measures 4.35mm when unfolded and 9.2mm when folded. According to leaks, the Oppo Find N5—and by extension, the OnePlus Open 2—could be even thinner, with an unfolded thickness of approximately 4mm.
Redesigned Camera Layout
The camera module has also grabbed attention. The OnePlus Open 2 is expected to feature a circular camera module positioned centrally on the back, resembling the designs of the Oppo Find X8 Pro and the original OnePlus Open. The setup may include:
- Periscope Telephoto Lens
- Hasselblad Branding in the center
- Flash Module located at the bottom-right corner
The device is also rumored to feature a minimal crease on its foldable display, enhancing its premium feel.
Titanium Frame for Durability
One of the standout upgrades could be the titanium frame, designed to make the phone lightweight without compromising durability. Foldable phones are often criticized for their fragility, making this an interesting move by OnePlus and Oppo.
Hardware Specifications
On the hardware front, the OnePlus Open 2 is expected to pack impressive features:
- Triple-Lens Hasselblad Camera System
- Satellite Communication Support
- 6,000mAh Battery with wireless charging support
- Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip
Color options are rumored to include black, white, and possibly additional premium finishes. A leaked image of the internal display shows a hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera in the top-right corner, maintaining a sleek and modern design.
Global and Chinese Launch Timeline
The Chinese launch for the Oppo Find N5 is scheduled for February, with the global release of the OnePlus Open 2 expected shortly after. If these rumors hold, the OnePlus Open 2 could gain a significant competitive edge over rivals such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is likely to launch later in the summer.
What to Expect from the OnePlus Open 2
The OnePlus Open 2 is poised to set a new standard in foldable smartphones. With its ultra-thin design, premium camera setup, and high-end hardware, it is expected to cater to both tech enthusiasts and premium smartphone users. Its anticipated features, coupled with the global recognition of the OnePlus brand, could make it a formidable competitor in the foldable phone market.
