The recent leaks are pointing towards the OnePlus Open 2 as it could become the thinnest foldable smartphone in the world after its launch.
OnePlus Open 2 Design Leak
Yes you read right as this smartphone is even thinner than the current record-holder for being the thinnest foldable smartphone, the Honor Magic V3.
In the meantime, the Chinese consumer electronics manufacturer, Oppo has announced their new foldable smartphone, the Find N5.
The smartphone maker has announced that this phone will be released in China in February.
The Find N5 is most likely to be marketed globally as the OnePlus Open 2 as per the past launches.
This leaked information is shared by popular leakers Digital Chat Station and Smart Pikachu.
The leaked information is quite exciting for fans as they have long-awaited the sequel to the OnePlus Open.
World’s Thinnest Smartphone
While talking about this latest launch, Oppo’s Senior Vice President Liu Zuohu has described the Find N5 as the world’s thinnest foldable considering its design.
Reportedlythe Honor Magic V3 measures 4.35mm when unfolded and 9.2mm when folded.
The Oppo Find N5 — and by extension, the OnePlus Open 2 — could go even slimmer.
It could reportedly measure around 4mm in its unfolded stat, as mentioned in the leaks.
Besides its design, its camera layout has also grabbed a lot of attention.
It is expected to feature a circular camera module, positioned in the centre similar to the Oppo Find X8 Pro and the original OnePlus Open.
In addition to this it is expected to have a periscope telephoto lens, a Hasselblad branding at the centre, and a flash in the lower right corner.
Moving ahead, the leakers also hinted at a minimal crease on the foldable display further adding to its premium feel.
The smartphone comes with a potential upgrade with the use of a titanium frame
It is expected to make this smartphone more lightweight, that too without compromising durability.
So far, foldable phones are often criticised for their fragility.
Considering the same, this is an interesting move from OnePlus and Oppo.
When it comes to the hardware, the OnePlus Open 2 is most likely to come with a triple-lens Hasselblad camera with satellite communication support, a 6,000mAh battery, and wireless charging.
Coming to its core, the smartphone is most likely to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.
It is rumoured to come with three colour options including black, white, and possibly additional finishes.
As per the leaked image, the inner display shows a hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera in the top right corner while maintaining a sleek and modern design.
If you are wondering about the timeline, the Chinese launch is slated for February.
While the international release of the OnePlus Open 2 is expected to follow soon after.
This would give this nodal a significant head start over competitors like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, which will likely be launched later in the summer.
