The wait for the OnePlus Open 2 feels never-ending, and now it looks like the launch may be delayed further, which is a shame for those eager to see OnePlus’ next foldable phone.
Tipster Sanju Choudhary claimed on X that the OnePlus Open 2 might not hit shelves until the end of 2025 (via GSMArena ). Details are scarce, but it seems fans of the OnePlus foldable phone have been waiting a long time.

At first, it seemed like the Open 2 was being delayed from adopting Qualcomm’s latest chipset. But this new setback hints at unexpected development issues that could slow things down further.
These rumors remain alive until OnePlus officially launches them. While the first OnePlus Open was launched in October 2023, that didn’t give us much insight into its sequel. OnePlus’ release schedule can change based on various factors, making past launches shaky for upcoming releases.
The next OnePlus foldable phone is rumored to get a major upgrade to its rear cameras and hardware, making the wait totally worth it.
Previous rumors suggested that the Open 2 could be the first US foldable phone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset (if it becomes available in early 2025).
The report also claims that the OnePlus Open 2 will have an impressive battery, surpassing any previous foldable phone. Additionally, the device is expected to be thinner and more waterproof than its predecessor, with a thinner design and better durability. These upgrades are sure to generate hype.
Meanwhile, Oppo is expected to launch the Find N5 next year, which is likely to use the same hardware as the OnePlus Open 2. Time to debut over the next 12 months.
