FULL STORY ======================================================================The OnePlus Open 2 could have a huge 5,900mAh battery Improved performance and waterproofing are also tipped We should see the phone show up in early 2025 Having loved the OnePlus Open , we're ready and waiting for the OnePlus Open 2 to be revealed in the first few months of 2025 and the latest leak around the foldable has raised the anticipation level up a few more notches. According to well-known tipster @chunvn8888 , the OnePlus Open 2 is going to come with some key hardware upgrades. Those upgrades include a 5,900mAh battery (up from 4,805mAh in the first model), which would be the biggest battery in a foldable to date. That's not all: the handset is set to come with IPX9 waterproofing taking this foldable phone from "splash resistant" with the 2023 model to truly waterproof for the 2025 edition and the top-end Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset from Qualcomm. The phone will apparently be led by a 50MP camera on the rear, with the same 3x optical zoom as previously. The cameras on the back are said to be arranged in a W shape, so it seems something of a redesign is on the way as well. The rumors so far OPPO/OnePlus foldable will have a big comeback sometime during Q1/2025, and ofc global release is guaranteed. It will pack the biggest battery size for a foldable (5900mAh) in one of the slimmist form on market , IPX9 debut, 50MP W shape IMX882 3x tele, 8 Elite SoC. December 19, 2024 This new information lines up pretty well with the OnePlus Open 2 rumors we've heard so far, though a previous leak put the battery size at a mere 5,700mAh. That leak said the new phone would be slimmer than its predecessor too, which is backed up by @chunvn8888. The latest tip also mentions a launch window of Q1 2025 so January, February, or March. Again, that's something we've heard before , so it's looking increasingly likely that the foldable will break cover before we're too far through next year. In our OnePlus Open review , we described it as the first foldable we'd seen that didn't compromise on anything though since then the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold have arrived to give OnePlus some new competition. It certainly sounds as though the OnePlus Open 2 is going to be a major upgrade on the first model, and the kind of phone that's going to find a place in our best foldables list. As soon as anything is made official, we'll let you know.
