Oppo has revealed details about the Oppo Find N5, a foldable phone that is likely to be rebranded as the OnePlus Open 2 outside China. The device boasts an incredibly slim design, with just barely enough space for a USB-C port, making it one of the thinnest foldable phones available.
The Oppo Find N5 has an IPX9 rating, which indicates its ability to withstand water and dust exposure. This is rare in the industry, as most phones only have an ‘8’ rating, which means they can be submerged at least 1.5 meters deep in fresh water for up to 30 minutes.
In comparison, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 has a lower IP48 rating, with no protection against solid objects greater than 1mm in size. The Oppo Find N5’s higher rating makes it one of the most water-resistant phones available.
While exact dimensions are not provided, it is likely that the OnePlus Open 2 will be even thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 6, making it a compelling alternative for those looking at this form factor.
The OnePlus Open 2 promises to deliver a similar successor to the highly-regarded OnePlus Open, which was one of the best foldable phones of 2024. However, Oppo is taking a different approach with this new device, focusing on innovative features and design rather than incremental upgrades.
With its promise of world’s thinnest design and impressive waterproofing, the OnePlus Open 2 is set to be an exciting development in the smartphone market.
