OnePlus Open 2: Prominent leaker shares key specs of the Snapdragon 8 Elite foldable phone

Zhou Yibao, the head of the Oppo Find series, has officially teased the Find N5, which will presumably be rebranded as the OnePlus Open 2 for markets outside China. While the Oppo official didn't share any specific details about the foldable phone, Digital Chat Station, a reliable leaker, has revealed some of its possible specs.

As expected, the OnePlus Open 2 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite. To be specific, Digital Chat Stations says that it may be the only foldable phone with this next-gen Qualcomm SoC in the first half of 2025. The tipster adds that the upcoming device will be lighter and thinner than the predecessor, but it will be more durable, all of which aligns with the past reports about the upcoming foldables.

Another big highlight of the foldable phone, as per Digital Chat Station, will be support for wireless charging. In case you're unaware, the first-gen OnePlus Open doesn't have it, and with it, the foldable phone can better compete against the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 (256 GB Z Fold 6 curr. $1,349 on Amazon).

Digital Chat Station's report also suggests that the OnePlus Open 2 will have an IPX8 water resistance rating. This would be another big improvement over the predecessor, which had an IPX4 rating. While the Weibo leaker didn't share much about the camera, the report did mention the foldable featuring a 50 MP periscope telephoto, something that was missing from the last-gen option.

Regarding the launch timeline, the Oppo Find N5 is expected to make its Chinese debut in Q1 2025. The global launch as the Open 2 is expected soon after the Chinese debut.
