New details have emerged regarding the upcoming OnePlus Open 2 foldable phone.
Reportedly, the new phone will be based on Oppo’s Find N5, with both companies being subsidiaries of the Chinese conglomerate BBK. The device is said to feature a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and an IPX8 certification, allowing it to withstand immersion in up to 1m of fresh water for 30 minutes.
This is a notable improvement over its predecessor, the OnePlus Open, which had an IPX4 certification and was only resistant to water splashes.
It’s important to note that the ‘X’ in the IP rating signifies dust protection, meaning that small particles like sand could still potentially cause damage. Nevertheless, having any IP rating for a foldable device with intricate moving parts is commendable.
The leaked information also suggests that the Open 2 will feature a 50MP telephoto lens and a “drop-proof body structure,” likely referring to reinforced hinges and design.
Earlier reports from 9to5Google indicated that the Open 2 would come with an upgraded 5,700mAh battery and wireless charging capabilities for the first time. For more details, check out our comprehensive guide on the OnePlus Open 2.
