OnePlus Open 2 is likely to be released next year as the company's second foldable smartphone. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer did not release a successor to the first-generation OnePlus Open in 2024, but a source has now revealed when the handset will be introduced. It is believed to debut as a renamed version of the Oppo Find N5, which is slated to launch in early 2025, alongside Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU.
OnePlus Open 2 Could Feature Flagship Snapdragon Chipset for a Few Months
According to specifications obtained by X (previously Twitter) user Sanju Chaudhary, the OnePlus Open 2 will be released in the second half of 2025. The device, like its predecessor, is anticipated to be a rebadged version of the Oppo Find N5, which is slated to launch in China in early 2025.
If this is true, the OnePlus Open 2 might use the same processor as its Chinese counterpart, the Snapdragon 8 Elite. However, if the Open 2 is announced in H2 2025, the Snapdragon chipset inside will only remain a flagship CPU for a few months – Qualcomm typically unveils new Snapdragon at its annual summit in October.
It's worth treating these statements with a grain of salt, given OnePlus hasn't said whether or when it expects to release the successor to the first generation OnePlus Open, which debuted in 2023.
OnePlus Open 2 Specifications (Expected)
Tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) already disclosed some of the specifications for the anticipated OnePlus Open 2. This phone is believed to operate on a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and may have a bigger screen. The Open 2 is reportedly rumored to include a 5,700mAh battery, up from 4,800mAh in the previous generation device.
According to the source, the business is also working on a bespoke USB connector for the OnePlus Open 2, and the phone may include Hasselblad calibrated rear cameras. We can expect to discover more about the OnePlus Open 2 and Oppo Find N5 in the coming months, leading up to their planned launch.
