Oppo Teases IPX9 Water Resistance For OnePlus Open 2’s Hardware, Shows Display [Gallery]

One place where foldables have often lacked is when it comes to water and dust resistance. While no one has figured out a really good solution for dust, Oppo is teasing that the Find N5 and OnePlus Open 2 will have stellar water resistance.

In a video posted to Weibo, Oppo’s Zhou Yibao shows the Find N5 – the hardware the OnePlus Open 2 will be based on – being dunked in water and even used underwater. In a post, Yibao says that the Find N5 will be the “only” foldable with IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 water resistance ratings.

IPX9 would fit in with the OnePlus 13 and other recent releases from BBK’s brands. IP69 on the OnePlus 13 expands on the existing IP68 rating with support for higher liquid temperatures and stronger jets of water.

Beyond that the video also offers up a fit look at the inner and outer displays. The outer display looks to have thinner bezels in its quick cameo, while the inner display looks very similar to the existing model. The camera is still in the far right corner, and the aspect ratio also looks about the same as the existing Find N3 and OnePlus Open.

In a previous teaser, Yibao showed off the incredibly thin hardware of the Find N5, showing that, when opened, the foldable is just barely thicker than a USB-C port.
