The OnePlus Open 2 might be the thinnest foldable ever

The OnePlus Open 2 promises to be an incredibly slender device, perhaps even the thinnest phone ever made. Leaks earlier in the year suggested a thickness of just 9.2mm, and now an image shared by Oppo executive Billy Zhang gives us a look at just how slim the phone actually is.

The Oppo Find N5 — believed to have a virtually identical design to the OnePlus Open 2 — is smaller than the iPad Pro, a device that is 5.3mm thick. While folded, the OnePlus Open 2 is said to be less than 9.2mm, and somewhere under five when unfolded with a weight of less than 219 grams.

Tipster Digital Chat Station corroborated some of this information in a post on Weibo, claiming that it will run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite, support 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, and have a triple camera setup.

I can't believe how slim our latest foldable is.

However, the iPad Pro M4 isn’t the OnePlus Open 2’s biggest competition. That goes to the Honor Magic v3, the current holder of the title of “thinnest phone” at just 4.4mm thick when unfolded. It’s not out of the question, though — especially when held against the most recent images of the Find N5. The post has since been deleted, as the tipster — one Chen Zhen — previously faced fines for releasing information early.

But this is the Internet, and nothing ever truly goes away. The images were captured and shared across the web. From what we can see in the pictures, the Find N5 comes with the alert slider, a volume rocker, and an integrated fingerprint scanner. Eagle-eyed viewers also spotted a microphone and USB-C port, and the original story from Gizmodo China claimed a SIM card slot was also present, but blocked by a thumb.

We advise a bit of skepticism when reviewing leaks like this. Until word officially comes down the pipeline from OnePlus, everything is speculation (even if that speculation is based on known patterns). The company is set to announce the device sometime in Q1 2025, most likely after Oppo formally announces the Find N5.

The OnePlus Open is an excellent foldable that received four out of five stars in its Digital Trends review, but the time is coming for a new version. While OnePlus hasn't officially announced the OnePlus Open 2, there have been hints about the Oppo Find N5, a device that is expected to be rebranded to the OnePlus Open 2 once it hits global markets.

The Oppo Find N5 has entered its testing phase, and we have an idea of what the internals might look like. The N5 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, is IPX8 waterproof, has better battery life, and supports wireless charging. According to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, it might just be the only Android flagship phone that folds.

Phone sizes are on the rise. Sure, their base size might not be much different from normal, but with tri-fold phones in development, it's only a matter of time before someone pulls out a folding iPad Pro from their pocket. OnePlus appears to be taking a different approach and focusing on a compact — but still powerful — handset, and rumors suggest it could launch in late 2024 or early 2025.

According to a new leak from known tipster Digital Chat Station, OnePlus is planning to build a compact flagship phone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. The device might be part of OnePlus's Ace lineup, potentially named the Ace 5 Pro. The new OnePlus phone will be a performance-centric device, but it will still retain all of the main features fans expect.
