The foldable smartphone market is heating up, with manufacturers competing to create ever-thinner devices. Now, rumors suggest the upcoming OnePlus Open 2 may take the crown as the slimmest foldable phone yet.
According to leaked information from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, the OnePlus Open 2 (which will likely be a rebranded version of the OPPO Find N5 for global markets) is aiming for a record-breaking thinness. The device is rumored to measure just 9.x mm when folded, potentially beating out the current thinnest foldable - the HONOR Magic V3 at 9.2mm.
Some key rumored specifications for the OnePlus Open 2 include:
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor
- 2K resolution folding display
- Triple rear camera system with 50MP main sensor and periscope telephoto lens
- Lighter overall weight compared to predecessor
- Waterproof design
- Possible inclusion of OnePlus' signature alert slider
Perhaps most intriguingly, another rumor suggests OnePlus and its sister company OPPO may be working on incorporating a massive 6,000 mAh battery into their next foldables. If true, this would not only be exceptional for a foldable device but would rival the battery capacity of many standard smartphones.
While the original OnePlus Open impressed reviewers with its design and camera capabilities, these rumored upgrades could potentially address some of its few shortcomings. A thinner profile combined with improved internals and battery life could make the OnePlus Open 2 a serious contender in the foldable market.
It's worth noting that the timeline for this device appears to have shifted. Unlike its predecessor which launched in October 2023, the OnePlus Open 2 is now expected to debut sometime in Q1 2025. This extended development cycle could give OnePlus more time to refine the design and push the boundaries of foldable technology.
As always with early rumors, it's important to approach this information with some skepticism. However, if OnePlus can deliver on even some of these ambitious specs, the Open 2 could be a game-changer in the rapidly evolving world of foldable smartphones.
