We knew it was coming, but now the Sora app has officially arrived on Android devices in a few select regions. What's even more exciting is that you don't need to wait for an invite like many had to when the app first launched on iOS. According to an announcement posted to X by OpenAI's official Sora account, Android users in the United States, Canada, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Thailand can now download Sora and start creating AI-generated videos using OpenAI's Sora 2 video engine.
As noted above, many users won't have to wait to start actually using the app, as OpenAI previously announced it would temporarily let new users join the app in the U.S., Canada, Korea, and Japan without waiting for an invite. There hasn't been any information on how long that "limited time" availability is, but if you're interested in trying the app on Android or iOS, now is the time to get involved.

OpenAI unveils Sora 2 video model with realistic physics, high-quality audio, and a new social app
OpenAI's new Sora 2 model pushes AI video closer to the mainstream, adding more realistic physics, better control, and, for the first time, high-quality audio. The launch also includes a Sora iOS app built for sharing AI-generated videos with friends.
Inside OpenAI, Sora 2 is seen as a serious upgrade. The original model was their "GPT-1 moment" for video - an early proof of concept with clear limits. Sora 2, on the other hand, is what the team calls the "GPT-3.5 moment" for generative video, hitting the point where the tech feels usable, much like the jump language models made a few years ago.
There’s still no official word on technical specs like resolution or maximum video length, but sample clips look like they run at 720p and 30 FPS, lasting about five to ten seconds.
Sora 2’s big leap is in simulating complex physical processes. OpenAI says the model can handle things like paddleboard backflips with realistic buoyancy or gymnastic stunts that actually look right.
