For the past few weeks, Oppo Find Product Manager Zhou Yibao has been consistently teasing details about the Oppo Find N5. Expected to debut in February 2025, it will be the first foldable phone from a well-known brand to launch in 2025. The Find N3 was released in China and some Southeast Asian markets, while other markets like India, Europe, and the US received its rebranded version, the OnePlus Open. Therefore, it is likely that the Open 2 will be released as a rebadged edition of the Find N5. If you’re on the fence about diving into the world of foldable phones, here are seven compelling reasons why you should wait for the OnePlus Open 2:

OnePlus Open 2 leaked images

1. Slimmer and More Refined Design

Leaks suggest the OnePlus Open 2 will be significantly slimmer than the original OnePlus Open, measuring under 10mm in thickness in the folded state, potentially becoming one of the thinnest foldable phones available. This refined design could address a common concern about foldable phones: bulkiness. A slimmer profile means the Open 2 could be more comfortable to hold and easier to slip into your pocket.

2. Increased Display Size

Leaks suggest that the OnePlus Open 2 will feature a larger inner display compared to its predecessor, potentially measuring around 8 inches. A larger canvas also enhances productivity, making it easier to work on documents or browse the web. On the outside, it will have a 6.4-inch AMOLED screen. In comparison, the OnePlus Open has a 6.31-inch cover screen and a 7.82-inch inner screen.

3. Upgraded Cameras

While the OnePlus Open had a respectable camera system, the Open 2 is rumored to boast a triple 50MP rear camera setup, likely mirroring the impressive camera system found on the OnePlus 13. The setup will include an OIS-assisted primary camera, an ultra-wide lens, and a 3x periscope telephoto camera. Like other OnePlus flagships, the Open 2 is expected to offer Hasselblad camera optimizations. This could translate to significantly improved image quality, versatility, and low-light performance, making the Open 2 a serious contender in the camera department.

4. Boosted Performance

OnePlus is rumored to skip the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and equip the Open 2 with the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite. With the powerful chip onboard, the Open 2 is expected to arrive with a significant performance boost and improved power efficiency.

5. Larger Battery with Wireless Charging

Battery life is a crucial factor for any smartphone user. The OnePlus Open 2 is rumored to pack a larger battery than its predecessor. Leaks suggest that it may pack 5,600mAh or 5,900mAh battery. Apart from 80W wired charging, the Open 2 is expected to support 50W wireless charging, a feature that was absent in the original device. 

6. Enhanced Water Resistance

The original Open lacked robust water resistance with only an IPX4 rating. Leaks indicate the Open 2 will feature an IPX8 rating, putting it on par with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and offering greater peace of mind for users who want to use their phone in various weather conditions or near water.

7. Competitive Pricing

nePlus has a reputation for offering flagship-level features at more competitive prices than its competitors. While the Open 2’s exact pricing remains unknown, it’s likely to undercut Samsung and Google’s foldable offerings, making it a more attractive option for budget-conscious consumers who don’t want to compromise on features. 

While these leaks and rumors paint an exciting picture of the OnePlus Open 2, it’s important to remember that they are not official confirmations. However, the consistency and credibility of these leaks suggest that OnePlus is poised to deliver a significant upgrade with its next foldable phone.
