Under the hood, this new flagship will feature the processeur Snapdragon 8 EliteQualcomm’s latest high-end chip. The photo system, developed in partnership with Hasselblad, will include three 50-megapixel sensors accompanied by a periscope lens, promising top-notch photographic performance.
-The innovations don’t stop there. According to several reliable Chinese sources, the OnePlus Open 2 will benefit from a revisited industrial design incorporating titanium for better durability. The device will also have an impressive battery approaching 6000 mAh, wireless charging, and a satellite communication function.
The overall design will retain the clean lines of its predecessor, with flat edges and rounded corners, while displaying a slimmer silhouette than a pencil. The device will also be certified waterproof, a particularly valuable feature for a folding smartphone.
