OnePlus Open 2 specs leak reveals camera and charging upgrades

The OnePlus Open is an excellent foldable that received four out of five stars in its Digital Trends review, but the time is coming for a new version. While OnePlus hasn’t officially announced the OnePlus Open 2, there have been hints about the Oppo Find N5, a device that is expected to be rebranded to the OnePlus Open 2 once it hits global markets.

The Oppo Find N5 has entered its testing phase, and we have an idea of what the internals might look like. The N5 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, is IPX8 waterproof, has better battery life, and supports wireless charging. According to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, it might just be the only Android flagship phone that folds.

If this information proves accurate, then the biggest takeaway is the inclusion of wireless charging — a feature that was sorely missing from the original OnePlus Open. The water resistance is also a nice bonus, especially considering the original only sported an IPX4 resistance rating.

The leaker also says the phone has a 50-megapixel telephoto camera, while other, prior leaks suggest the phone might have a triple-camera setup on the rear. The first OnePlus Open comes with a $1,700 price tag, so we expect a pretty hefty expense on this newer model, too — but if the OnePlus Open 2 fixes all of the issues with the first model, that price could be well worth it.

The idea that the Oppo Find N5 is the next OnePlus makes a lot of sense. The original OnePlus Open is named the Oppo Find N3 in China, and the country’s phone manufacturers tend to avoid the number four in marketing for cultural reasons. As such, it makes sense that the Oppo Find N5 would be the next OnePlus Open. Leaks have targeted the first quarter of 2025 as a potential launch period for this new phone, so a global release would likely come after that.

I tried a new Android phone that puts some of the best smartphone cameras to shame
The rear camera setup on the Oppo Find X8 Pro.

It’s been a few years since I was surprised by a smartphone camera’s zoom performance. With Samsung offering 100x zoom on its Galaxy S Ultra lineup, little has shocked me with smartphone cameras — until now.

The Oppo Find X8 series is the successor to the Find X7 series from last year, and alongside several other improvements, there’s also been a significant upgrade in one area: the 30x zoom. Oppo and OnePlus have great cameras at shorter zoom distances, and at a recent briefing, I discovered that we can now add the 30x zoom to the list.

I used a Wear OS smartwatch for the first time, and I love it

Ever since the original Apple Watch, smartwatches as a whole have really taken off. Though Apple largely dominates the market, there are still plenty of non-Apple smartwatches to choose from.

I’ve been solely an Apple Watch user for the past decade, but I’ve been trying out a Google Pixel Watch 3 for the past couple of weeks. And, honestly, I kind of love it.
