While the foldable phone market continues to heat up with rumors of next-generation devices from Samsung, Motorola, and others, fans of OnePlus might be disappointed. According to reliable tipsters, the OnePlus Open 2 won’t be arriving this year.
The follow-up to the well-received first-gen OnePlus Open is now expected to launch sometime in 2025. This news comes as a blow to those hoping for a 2024 release, and the Open 2 is rumored to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset.
Details about the 8 Gen 4 itself are scarce, with an official announcement likely happening later this year (October-November 2024). The first phones featuring this chip might hit the market as early as December, particularly in China.
The global launch timeframe for most Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 devices remains unclear, and whether the Open 2 falls into that category is unknown.
In essence, there’s very little concrete information about the OnePlus Open 2 at this point. The lack of details is likely to persist for some time. Historically, OnePlus has rebranded Oppo’s foldable phones for the global market.
Following this trend, the Open 2 is expected to be the rebrand of the Oppo Find N5 – similar to how the original Open mirrored the Oppo Find N3 released last year.
However, the leaked details may ring true, especially considering previous rumors that Oppo delayed the launch of the Find N5 until 2025. Given that the Open 2 is expected to be a rebrand, it’s not surprising that it won’t arrive until 2025.
