The OnePlus Open 2 is the thinnest foldable yet – with a new titanium construction
- The OnePlus Open 2 could arrive soon
- There are rumors of a harder, lighter and thinner construction
- The Honor Magic V3 is currently the thinnest foldable device
The OnePlus Open 2 is shaping up to be a fantastic foldable phone, with new details leaking out about what to expect from the phone: apparently it will be the thinnest foldable phone yet, while also offering an improved titanium build.
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 outside China as the OnePlus Open 2 – just as the Oppo Find N3 was rebranded as the original OnePlus Open.
The foldable device is said to be the “thinnest in the world” (according to Google Translate). That would mean that the OnePlus Open 2 should be less than the 9.2mm thickness of the Honor Magic V3 when closed.
Indeed, this has been going around since September last year, which gives you an idea of the anticipation surrounding OnePlus’ second foldable tablet. We’re not getting any information on how thin the phone might be, but it sounds like it will be super thin.
Lighter and stronger
Over these two leaks we get a mention of titanium being used in the construction, and a “new industrial design, focused on sustainability” (again via Google Translate). That suggests we’re looking at a phone that will be both lighter and stronger.
There’s also talk of a triple-lens camera with periscope zoom and Hasselblad technology, satellite communications capabilities, a Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition chipset, a battery approaching a 6,000mAh capacity (as previously rumored) and wireless charging – all of which sounds good . for us.
One of these tipsters mentions that there’s a six-month 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’s been some discussion about when the OnePlus Open 2 would see the light of day – remember the first OnePlus Open phone launched in October 2023, so we’re now waiting over a year for its successor.
