Last October, OnePlus joined the club of foldable smartphone makers by launching the OnePlus Open. The phone arrived as a remodeled version of its sister company OPPO’s Find N3 handset. Many fans thought OnePlus would quickly release a follow-up to the Open this year. However, it appears that we will have to wait a bit longer for the OnePlus Open 2 foldable flagship. A tipster on X has suggested that the OnePlus Open 2’s launch is delayed till 2025.
The OnePlus Open 2 is not coming this year due to a key decision by OPPO
The tech blogger Kartikey Singh has posted on X that OPPO will not launch the OPPO Find N5 series smartphones this year. This will lead to the delay of the launch of the OnePlus Open 2 till 2025 as well. For the uninitiated, both OnePlus and OPPO are sister companies under the same parent organization – BBK Electronics. So, the launch of their latest products can sometimes be interconnected.
Since the OnePlus Open was a variant of the Find N3, the Open 2 is expected to be a remodeled Find N5. So, if the Find N5 gets delayed, the next-gen OnePlus foldable handset could also face a similar fate. Unfortunately, the tipster didn’t provide any exact launch timeline for the next-gen OPPO and OnePlus foldable smartphones at the moment.
Adding fuel to the fire, gadget tipster Chun Bai corroborated Kartikey’s post on X. The leakster also mentioned that the OPPO Find N5/OnePlus Open 2 could utilize the next-gen Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. Unfortunately, no information about their other specs is available at the moment.
Several new foldable smartphones are scheduled to launch this year
In the meantime, several foldable smartphones are all set to launch globally this year. Samsung will introduce the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 in July, possibly at an Unpacked event on July 10. Google is expected to launch the second-gen Pixel Fold. Xiaomi is also rumored to unveil a couple of foldable offerings for the global markets at some point this year.
