OnePlus Open 2 appears to be one of the most interesting foldable 2025 smartphones. It would be the successor to the OnePlus Open, but hopefully, it will boast progress over its predecessor while advancing in all aspects. While most attention is paid to the OnePlus Open 2, Oppo’s Find N5 is the base model for the OnePlus Open 2, and recent leaks and reports from China provide some interesting details about its Oppo counterpart.
A Titanium Body for the Premier Presentation
According to the Weibo industry insider Digital Chat Station, the Oppo Find N5 will have a titanium body. The exact titanium grade has not been made public, but this material indicates premium smartphone rarity, durability, and luxury. Simplifying the design, the Find N5/OnePlus Open 2 will utilize titanium, as devices like Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra and the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra already feature the metal component.
The leaker also claims that the Find N5 features the ‘thinnest body in the world’ for a foldable. If this is true, it could unseat the Honor Magic V3, which stands at the top of the list with a thickness of only 9.2mm when folded. The Find N5 and OnePlus Open 2 could appeal even more to users who care about portability and super slenderness.
Enhanced Camera and Chipset
Smart Pikachu also contributed to the hardware of the Find N5. The rumored foldable should include the Hasselblad triple lens system, featuring a periscope lens for better zoom. OnePlus and Oppo’s partnership continues, with a push to continue the brand’s emphasis on providing premium smartphone customers with a high-quality mobile photography experience.
The Find N5 will supposedly be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which promises top-notch performance in multitasking, gaming, and AI.
Battery and Charging Upgrades
Regarding battery rumours, it is perhaps one of the best. It is claimed the battery will have around 6,000mAh capacity, which seems larger (by about a third) than the 4,805mAh one used on the current Find N3 and OnePlus Open.
Wireless charging and satellite communication are also available, both of which could further establish the foldable as a top-tier device.
Potential Launch Timeline
According to Smart Pikachu, the Oppo Find N5 may be announced as soon as next month. This would be truly amazing and likely not far from the release of the OnePlus Open 2.
Both devices are expected to launch in late 2024 but might debut in Q1 or Q2 2025. Oppo and OnePlus could have a strategic upper hand over Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold, which usually receives a midyear.
Implications for the Foldable Market
OnePlus Open 2 and Oppo Find N5 are the devices that will carve a niche in the increasingly crowded foldable market. With features such as a titanium body, ultra-thin design, Hasselblad camera system, and powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, these devices promise to raise the bar in what users can expect in foldable devices.
If these leaks are correct, Samsung could face much competition in 2025, especially with the Galaxy Z Fold launching a refreshed version in July. It is an exciting prospect for foldable enthusiasts and smartphone fanatics, and 2025 could be a very strong year.
