OnePlus‘s rumored OnePlus Open 2 is set to shake the world of foldable smartphones. If these latest leaks are to be believed, this highly anticipated foldable could become the new design and innovation standard. Powered by two top upgrades, OnePlus Open 2 looks to amalgamate durability and sleekness like no other, and with thinnest foldable form factor until now.
OnePlus Open 2 has been around for quite a while as a speculation, as leakers have their sights set on how similar it is to Oppo’s Find N5 that is set to rebrand as the OnePlus Open 2 elsewhere around the world. Assuming the rumors are true, the OnePlus Open 2 may answer to being the lightest and most durable foldable on the market right now, making it a worthy competitor to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series.
A Titanium Frame for Unmatched Durability
It’s being said that the one of the most exciting rumors about the OnePlus Open 2 is it’s titanium frame. Titanium is a premium material because it is strong yet lightweight: its properties make it an ideal choice for use in aerospace and medicine. By incorporating titanium into the phone’s design, OnePlus may be addressing one of the biggest concerns with foldables: durability.
Besides the titanium frame, leakers also hinted at ‘new industrial desgn focusing on peramance’. That could include increased hinge mechanisms, a reinforced build to withstand the wear and tear of everyday use, or the like, resulting in a OnePlus Open 2 that’s at once sleek and sturdy enough to endure the life of daily use. titanium would also be used to make the device lighter, which is important given the foldables that are now available to consumers offering both bulk free and foldable options, without a phone the size of Venus itself.
The Thinnest Foldable Yet?
The OnePlus Open 2 is also expected to boast a rumored ultra thin design. The Honor Magic V3 is the thinnest foldable only with a thickness of 9.2mm when folded. The leaks are accurate, and the OnePlus Open 2 could easily, if not actually break this record at just 9.1mm, or thinner.
Not only does it make foldable design thinner, therefore more portable, it also makes the whole design more aesthetically pleasing. If you give a damn for screen size, functionality and don’t mind a bit more weight and bulk, then the OnePlus Open 2 could be just what you are looking for. Exact measurements haven’t been confirmed, but the promise of the “world’s thinnest foldable” were beginning to generate buzz in the tech community.
Cutting-Edge Specs and Features
OnePlus doesn’t just want the OnePlus Open 2 to be a beautiful device, they’re expecting it to have some serious hardware under its skin. A periscope telephoto lens is rumored to aid zoom capabilities in an otherwise seemingly obvious triple-lens Hasselblad camera system. As a result, the Open 2 could be one of the best photography oriented smartphones today and the one you can only find on the Open 2’s slab flagship siblings.
It’s been rumored to feature satellite communication, a whopping 6,000mAh battery, and wireless charging. The OnePlus Open also reportedly runs the Snapdragon 8 ‘Extreme Edition’ (Snapdragon 8 Elite). The chipset on this device is sure to deliver top class performance and it is going to be a powerhouse for gaming, multitasking and intensive apps.
Release Timeline and Market Impact
Apparently OnePlus Open 2 will be debuted next month in China and soon after released internationally. It offers that head start for 2025 into the foldable market, as Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 will come after it.
The OnePlus Open 2 is also said to be ‘the only cellphone in the market in the next half a year’ because of its ‘monopoly of premium materials, cutting edge design and high specification.’ This could make the OnePlus Open 2 a strong challenger within the foldable space should it be true, and from buyers who want something other than Samsung or Honor offerings.
How the Open 2 Stacks Up to Competitors
Not everything currently available in the foldable phone is great, but the OnePlus Open 2 could take it even further. OnePlus’s defining idea is to capture the record-breaking thin design, accompanied by a titanium frame, to showcase its foldable as a distinctive, high performance, premium product in the space.
Amid the popularity of foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold series is the biggest name we have – however, the OnePlus Open 2 may draw users searching for a sleeker, tougher option. Despite being folded, its rumoured Hasselblad cameras and large battery also put it ahead of its rivals as a solid power user and foldable option.
