OnePlus Open 2: Oppo compares the world's thinnest foldable with the almost twice-as-thick iPhone 16 Pro

One side of the Oppo Find N5 is barely thicker than the USB-C port. This is shown in the latest images that Oppo manager Zhou Bao, product manager for Oppo's Find N series, recently published on his Weibo account. Oppo has been teasing the new foldable flagship in China for several days now, which will feature a Hasselblad camera and roughly the same design as its predecessor, but will be significantly slimmed down.

Oppo is expected to launch the Find N3 successor as early as February, at least in China. If fans outside of China are lucky, the foldable, which will likely get a global launch as the OnePlus Open 2, will be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona at the beginning of March. But this still remains speculation. In the image above and in the first image below, the Find N5, officially advertised as the world's thinnest foldable, is compared directly with the iPhone 16 Pro from Apple, which of course is outclassed in terms of thickness. 

Comparisons with coins and a stack of credit cards have been seen before and similar images are currently in circulation once again. According to all previous information so far, Oppo has achieved the impossible despite a larger battery, wireless charging and the integration of a Hasselblad camera with periscope telephoto. The Snapdragon 8 Elite is also on board, albeit presumably in a new version with only 7 instead of 8 cores. If the OnePlus Open successor is indeed thinner than the Honor Magic V3 (available here at Amazon), this would make it less than 4.4 mm per side and thus thinner than the 5.5 mm of the rumored future iPhone 17 Air.
