Foldable

Fresh information about the OnePlus Open 2 has surfaced online, following confirmation that parent company Oppo will be using Qualcomm's slower Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Executives have appeared to hint at the launch of the Open 2 and Find N5 too, which could occur in under two weeks' time.

New rumours about the Galaxy Z Fold7 and its potential upgrades over the Galaxy Z Fold6 have appeared online. While this year's foldable is expected to share the look and feel of the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, it will contain a slew of changes from Samsung's only 8-inch foldable.

The Oppo Find N5 has appeared in multiple official images, but those images have only shown the foldable in one color. An Oppo executive has now confirmed a second color, one that the Find N3 isn't available in.

Leaks from the supply chain suggest that the first Samsung tri-foldable will likely be launched this year under a completely new name and not as part of the Galaxy Z series. Quite a few differences are expected compared to the Huawei Mate XT.

The OnePlus Open 2, which is expected to be a rebrand of the Oppo Find N5, is tipped to have macro photography capability through its telephoto sensor. Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra and many other flagships use the ultrawide camera for this feature.

A new report suggests that Samsung may finally be moving away from 25 W wired charging on Galaxy Z Fold smartphones. Reputedly, the Galaxy Z Fold7 could match the charging speeds of the Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra but possibly with a smaller battery capacity.

The Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Z Fold7 are set to cost just as much as last year's models, according to a new report. Titanium frames are not expected to grace either model though, despite their high starting prices.

Huawei unleashed its latest camera-focused flagship smartphones on the Chinese market in April 2024. However, their successors might not follow that rhythm, according to a well-known leaker.

Although Samsung already had patents for a flip phone with three cameras in 2022, the seventh generation of the Galaxy Flip series, which is expected in summer 2025, will only offer two cameras on the outside.

The Vivo X Fold3 Pro came with every possible quality-of-life perk that could have been packed into a foldable Android smartphone in 2024.
