TL; DR

  • The OnePlus Open 2 could come with a triple 50MP Hasselblad-tuned rear camera setup.
  • The device could also come with wireless charging and support for magnetic accessories, possibly via a Mag-Safe case.
  • Leaks also indicate that the device is thinner than its predecessor.

We praised the first foldable OnePlus in our OnePlus Open review. Although the phone is still quite strong, we are increasingly ready for a successor thanks to some overkill specifications. We’ve heard a few rumors about the OnePlus Open2mainly revolving around its slim form factor and large battery. Now a new leak sheds light on the camera settings, and we could be getting a significant upgrade.

Tasty Digital chat station mentions that the current technical prototype for the upcoming OnePlus Open 2 has the same general design as the Open, but the focus of the device is on its slimness. The screen size has increased, although the details of this increase are not clear.

The back of the device will continue to feature a large circular camera island, but the highlights for the Open 2 will be a triple 50MP rear camera setup with Hasselblad tuning. For reference, the OnePlus Open has a 48MP primary camera, a 64MP telephoto camera for 3x optical zoom, and a 48MP ultra-wide camera. So moving to 50MP for all three cameras gives us broad optimism for bigger and better sensors.

This leak is a departure from Digital Chat Station’s previous leak regarding battery life. Previously, the leaker had said that the OnePlus Open 2 (i.e. the OPPO Find N5, OPPO’s rebranded device in China) will have a 6,000mAh battery. Now the leak suggests that the device will have a 5,700mAh battery. Either way, the capacity seems significantly higher than the Open’s 4,805 mAh battery.

In addition to the battery, the leaker mentions that the OnePlus Open 2 will feature wireless charging, which would address one of the biggest shortcomings of its predecessor. The device is said to come with the Snapdragon 8 “Extreme Edition” which may just be the Chinese translated brand name of the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. We’re not sure what the “custom C port” means, since the OnePlus Open already had a great USB 3.1 Type-C port.

Separately, leak Smart Pickachu mentions that the OPPO Find 5 (likely the OnePlus Open 2 globally) will popularize wireless charging and “magnetic suction ecology”. The latter is likely a poor translation of the magnetic accessory ecosystem enabled by cases with MagSafe-style rings.

We see the OnePlus 13 popularizing this approach to MagSafe, and it looks like the OnePlus Open 2 could follow in its footsteps.

The OPPO Find N5 is expected to launch in China in the first quarter of 2025, and the newly branded OnePlus Open 2 could launch globally after that.

The current OnePlus Open already beats the newer Galaxy Z Fold 6 in almost all areas. If OnePlus manages to further improve the camera, thinness and battery of the device and add features like wireless charging and magnetic accessories, Samsung should be very concerned about how the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will survive in the market, especially if we get a round of mediocre results. upgrades again.
