Highlights

• New leaks suggest the OnePlus Open 2 will be thinner and come with an IPX8 water resistance rating.
• The foldable phone will also feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a 50MP periscope telephoto lens and a 5,700mAh battery with wireless charging.

As per reports, we still have to wait for a few months before OnePlus Open 2 will be launched. However, multiple leaks have already shared with us a clearer picture of what to expect. The latest leak comes from a trusted source suggesting that the upcoming foldable phone will not only be thinner but also come with better water resistance.

Here’s what we know as per the latest tip.

We have previously reported that the upcoming OnePlus foldable is expected to include a bigger battery and wireless charging. Now according to reliable tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, earlier reports about the device are being confirmed.

The newest leaks reveal that the OnePlus Open 2, which will be based on the Oppo Find N5, will feature Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset inside a foldable body with an IPX8 water resistance rating.

This is a significant improvement over the previous model, which only offered IPX4 water resistance. In fact, many foldables on the market today don’t come close to this level of protection, making water resistance a concern for potential buyers.

The source also shared that the Open 2 will include a 50MP periscope telephoto lens and something described as an ‘anti-fall body structure.’

While details are scarce, this likely means a more durable hinge and an overall sturdier build—something OnePlus and Oppo have been consistently improving with each release.

If the rumours are accurate and the OnePlus Open 2 arrives with a 5,700mAh battery, wireless charging, and the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, it could set a new benchmark for foldable devices.

The previous generation OnePlus Open stood out with its excellent software, multitasking capabilities and user-friendly features.

If OnePlus delivers on these leaks, the second-generation Open could be a game-changer in the foldable market.
