The OnePlus Open 2 is here, emerging as the successor to one of last year’s most underrated foldable phones—the OnePlus Open. While its predecessor packed potential, its design failed to get the recognition it deserved, likely overshadowed by its pricing. Now, with a fresh set of leaks, the OnePlus Open 2 seems ready to make a stronger impression.
If rumors hold true, this could be a rebranded OPPO Find N5, showcasing renders of what appears to be its final prototype. At first glance, the design heavily echoes the original Open, but a closer inspection reveals subtle refinements. The signature circular camera module, a staple of OnePlus flagship devices and tablets, makes a return. This time, it houses three sensors positioned in the upper semicircle, with Hasselblad branding placed below. Another noticeable change? The rear edges are slightly curved, a departure from the flat aesthetic of the first-gen Open.
Design Tweaks and Dimensions
When unfolded, the Open 2 looks largely similar to its predecessor, but it’s reportedly bigger and thinner. Folded, it measures just under 10 mm thick, positioning it among the slimmest foldables on the market. The device also boasts an upgraded IPX8 water resistance, a leap from the IPX4 rating of the original.
Display and Hardware Upgrades
The foldable interior screen now stretches to 8 inches with a buttery-smooth 120 Hz refresh rate, compared to the previous 7.82-inch display. The external screen has also grown slightly to 6.4 inches (from 6.31 inches). Under the hood, the Open 2 features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, paired with up to 16 GB of RAM and a whopping 1 TB of storage.
Camera and Battery Enhancements
The camera system gets a significant bump, with three 50 MP rear sensors and two front-facing cameras: a 32 MP shooter on the main display and a 20 MP sensor on the smaller one. Meanwhile, the battery capacity jumps from 4,800 mAh to 5,900 mAh, supporting 80W wired charging and the newly introduced 50W wireless charging—a feature absent from the original.
Launch Timeline
The OnePlus Open 2 is slated to debut in early 2025 in China, with a European launch expected in Q1. While it appears to be a rebranded OPPO Find N5, the improvements in design, hardware, and features signal a compelling upgrade for foldable enthusiasts.
Stay tuned as OnePlus aims to refine the foldable game with this promising successor!
