The Honor Magic V3, one of the thinnest foldable flagship models on the market, might get a rival soon. Reports suggested that the upcoming OnePlus Open 2 could dethrone Honor's latest creation as the slimmest foldable device yet.

Honor Magic V3 measures an impressive 9mm when folded, a feat unmatched by most standard smartphones, which typically exceed this thickness. However, OnePlus appears to be tackling the challenge of foldable phone thickness head-on, signalling its intention to join the "slimmest foldable" race.

The OnePlus Open 2 is reportedly in development and is rumored to adopt design elements from the OPPO Find N5, according to credible analyst SmartPikachu. Similarly, well-known tipster @DigitalChatStation has claimed that the OPPO Find N5 will set a new benchmark for thinness, utilising an innovative titanium design to achieve its sleek form factor.

If these rumours hold true, OnePlus or OPPO could surpass the Honor Magic V3 as the world's slimmest foldable smartphone, setting a new standard for thinness in the foldable market.

The OnePlus Open, a rebranded sibling of the OPPO Find N Foldable, served as a precursor to the upcoming device. The Open 2, leveraging advancements in design and engineering, is expected to outshine its predecessor and the competition.

While these rumours have generated excitement, key details about the OnePlus Open 2 remain under wraps, with official confirmation from the company still pending. Users are waiting for further announcements as OnePlus gears up to make its mark in the foldable arena.
