In the tech community, there is a circulating rumor that the highly anticipated OnePlus Open 2, which is considered the successor to one of the best foldable phones in 2023, will be launched in the first quarter of 2025. This news is adding to the anticipation about what the new phone will offer, especially with expected updates in performance and camera quality.
It is expected that the OnePlus Open 2 will be the global version of the OPPO Find N5 phone, following the branding pattern that the company adopted in the previous generation, where OPPO Find N3 was transformed into OnePlus Open for global markets. This phone aims to offer an enhanced experience, focusing on performance and camera quality at the same time.
Leaks suggest that OPPO, the parent company of OnePlus, was considering using a quad-camera system borrowed from the Find X8 Ultra for the Find N5 or OnePlus Open 2. However, the company ultimately decided to stick with the triple camera system present in the original OnePlus Open. This decision may disappoint some who were hoping for a camera experience that surpasses many flagship phones in the market.
Nevertheless, the OnePlus Open 2 still boasts an impressive camera system, including a 64-megapixel periscope camera that offers optical zoom of up to 3x, which is a rare feature in foldable phones. It seems that OPPO chose to retain this system to maintain the slimness of the phone, as adding a quad-camera system could have increased the thickness of the phone and affected its sleek design.
Apart from the camera, there are other leaks confirming that the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, with a thickness of less than 10mm, making it thinner than its predecessor. It is also expected to feature a main camera with 50-megapixel resolution, in addition to the distinctive OnePlus alert slider, which remains a unique element in foldable phones.
It is also rumored that the phone will come with water resistance, a rare feature in this type of device. If these rumors are true, the OnePlus Open 2 could represent a major breakthrough in the world of foldable phones, offering exceptional performance and an improved design that makes it a strong competitor in the growing market for foldable phones.
