OnePlus Open arrived last year and the brand went silent when it came to foldables in 2024. However, it could return to the foldable market with the OnePlus Open 2 next year. Ahead of the launch, we now have leaks regarding the OnePlus Open 2 design and what it could pack under the hood.
The report from Smartprix shares the renders of the foldable, showcasing the OnePlus Open 2 design, along with some of the expected specifications of the handset as well. The renders show that the OnePlus Open 2 design would be highly similar to that of the original Open but with a few changes, such as the quad-curved back glass panel.
While the device retains the huge circular camera module, the sensor placement has been refreshed. It also looks similar to that of the Find X8 Pro, which was also recently launched. The Hasselblad logo is at the bottom centre while the flashlight remains at the top left corner of the panel. Because the renders have been made based on a prototype, it is possible that some design changes might make their way into the final product.
When unfolded, the OnePlus Open 2 design closely resembles its predecessor, the Open. However, it is reportedly larger overall and notably thinner, with a folded thickness of under 10mm, positioning it as one of the slimmest foldable devices on the market.
