OnePlus has confirmed that it does not release the OnePlus Open 2 in 2025.
In a note sent to the OnePlus Community Forum, the OnePlus Open Project Manager Vale G.: “We have carefully considered the timing and our next steps in foldable units, and we have made the decision not to release a folding this year.”
“While this may come as a surprise,” G. continued, “We think this is the right approach for us at this time,” and notes that Oppo – OnePlus’ sister company – now “takes the lead in the coincidental segment” With Oppo finds N5.
The original OnePlus Open was released in October 2023, and a successor – supposed to be the OnePlus Open 2 – was expected to hit shelves at one point in the next few months. A special edition version of the Open Open, OnePlus Open Apex Edition, was also released in August 2024.
In his statement of Open 2’s delay (which is worth noting is not how OnePlus describes the situation), adds Vale G. the OnePlus’ decision to pause the fold[s] For this generation does not mean a deviation from the category […] This is not a step back, it is a calibration. “
Given that the original OnePlus Open and Oppo find N3 are almost identical devices, it was believed that the OnePlus Open 2 would simply be a OnePlus-Branded version of Oppo Find N5. This unit is scheduled for release in the UK and Europe on February 20, although it now appears that US buyers do not have a similar OnePlus Open 2 to look forward to in 2025.
