The OnePlus Open 2 is generating significant buzz, promising to be remarkably thin, potentially even the slimmest foldable phone ever. Early leaks hinted at a thickness of just 9.2mm. A recent image from Oppo executive Billy Zhang provides a glimpse of just how slender the device might be, comparing it to the 5.3mm thick iPad Pro. When folded, the OnePlus Open 2 is rumored to measure less than 9.2mm, and under 5mm unfolded, weighing less than 219 grams.
Design and Features: Leaked Information and Speculation
Tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo supports these claims, suggesting the OnePlus Open 2 will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 leading-edge processor, 80W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and a triple-camera system. While the iPad Pro is a benchmark for thinness, the OnePlus Open 2’s main competitor is the Honor Magic V3, currently the “thinnest foldable” title holder at 4.4mm unfolded. However, leaked images of the Oppo Find N5, believed to share a near-identical design with the OnePlus Open 2, indicate the OnePlus device could rival or even surpass the Magic V3.

Although the original leak was deleted, images spread online. These revealed features like the alert slider, volume rocker, an integrated fingerprint scanner, a microphone, and a USB-C port. Gizmodo China also reported a SIM card slot, partially obscured in the leaked image.
Challenging the “Thinnest Foldable” Title
The Honor Magic V3’s claim as the thinnest foldable phone is being challenged by the impending arrival of the OnePlus Open 2. The leaked images and specifications suggest a device that pushes the boundaries of engineering and design.

Looking Ahead: Official Announcement and Confirmation
It’s crucial to approach leaks with caution. While these rumors align with industry trends and expectations, they remain speculation until officially confirmed by OnePlus. The company is expected to announce the OnePlus Open 2 in Q1 2025, likely following the official launch of the Oppo Find N5. The anticipation surrounding this potentially groundbreaking foldable phone continues to build as we await official details.
