Here's a 360-degree look at the what should eventually become the OnePlus Open 2
The OnePlus Open was a successful foldable alternative in the US market with excellent battery life and performance. The Oppo Find N5, likely to be rebranded as the OnePlus Open 2 in international markets, is expected to launch soon (Feb 19-20). Leaked images provide a comprehensive look at the Oppo Find N5, showcasing what will eventually become the OnePlus Open 2 from all angles. The October 2023-released OnePlus Open was a surprise hit, giving US-based customers a worthy alternative to Samsung, Google, and Motorola's foldable dominance. The device didn't do well just because of its novelty — the foldable backed it up with excellent battery life and performance, a great camera system, a huge 7.82-inch folding panel, and an anti-reflection coating that helps hide the device's already muted crease. For what it's worth, the first-gen device didn't feel like an early draft in the same way that the Pixel Fold did. 2024 came and went with no successor to the OnePlus Open, but that won't likely be the case with 2025. For reference, the original OnePlus Open was co-designed by OnePlus and Oppo. The latter released the foldable as the Oppo Find N3, while OnePlus branded it as the OnePlus Open in international markets. The Oppo Find N3's successor — the Oppo Find N5, is poised to be unveiled on February 19 or 20, prompting us to believe that the OnePlus Open 2 couldn't be too far behind. While we wait for an official announcement, here's what you can expect the upcoming device to look like, courtesy of reliable leaker Evan Blass (@evleaks). From what we already know, the Oppo Find N5, and in turn the OnePlus Open 2, are expected to feature an IPX9 rating, which means the device(s) will be protected against high pressure water jets and submersion. For reference, the ObePlus Open was only IPX4 resistant, which saved it from the occasional water splash. The upcoming device's camera placement appears to be consistent, albeit with the LED flash relocated within the circular camera bar. Elsewhere, from the looks of it, the foldable clearly appears to be slimmer than its predecessor, with the device reported to sport an unfolded thickness of 4mm — thinner than the 4.3mm Honor Magic V3 Fold. The device will also reportedly hop on the titanium body bandwagon, but specifics are currently unclear. The OnePlus Open 2 is expected to be the first foldable in the US powered by Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, complete with 50W wireless and 80W wired charging support expected. Details surrounding the upcoming devices' pricing remain scarce, but we'll likely learn more when Oppo announces the Find N5 later this month. Additionally, we should also have more clarity surrounding the eventual OnePlus Open 2 release timeline once the Find N5's dust settles.

The world's slimmest foldable phone has leaked, and it looks stunning
In roughly two weeks from now, the Oppo Find N5 will appear on stage as the world's thinnest foldable phone. Ahead of the glitzy launch event, the phone has leaked in all its sleek glory. Not that the company hasn't been giving us cheeky glimpses lately, but this is the first time we are seeing it from all angles adorned in different shades. The leaked renders, which come courtesy of Evan Blass (via Substack), show the Oppo Find N5 in three colors. The first aspect that grabs the attention is its thin cross-section profile, which is reportedly going to measure only 4.2mm, thinner than a pencil and Apple's own record-breaking iPad Pro. While the black and white trims appear to rock a familiar frosted glass finish, it's the purple trim that really demands attention. This one rocks a leather finish reminiscent of the one we saw on the limited edition OnePlus Open last year. Notably, the Oppo Find N5 is said to arrive in the US market under the OnePlus Open 2 label. The fundamental design language is not too different from the Oppo Find N3, or its spiritual sibling, the OnePlus Open. The only difference is the reduced thickness, and a few major internal upgrades that are discussed below. The leaked images also put the camera module under the spotlight. Once again, Oppo is borrowing camera expertise from the folks over at Hasselblad, and if the OnePlus 13 is anything to go by, we are in for some fantastic imaging results. On closer inspection, one can also notice the periscope-style zoom camera, which is reassuring. But the Oppo Find N5 is not all show. There's a lot of substance underneath that chassis. Let's start with the inner flexible screen, the heart of any foldable phone. As per images shared by a top executive, the nasty display crease is gone, at least from the upcoming phone. The company has also addressed the crucial concern of ingress protection. To that end, the next Oppo foldable will also stand out from the competition by offering IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 full-grade waterproofing. And despite the thin sides, Oppo has still managed to cram a physical profile switch slider. As far as the innards go, it will come armed with Qualcomm's top-end Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, a silicon that also powers the current crop of Android flagships such as the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Notably, the Oppo Find N5 will also support 50W wireless charging, eclipsing the likes of Galaxy S25 Plus and iPhone 16 Pro Max, even when they are getting juiced up in wired mode. This one is shaping up to be a phone that defines the foldable race this year, and it will take rivals like Samsung some serious effort to top Oppo's work.
