The OnePlus Open 2, anticipated to be OnePlus's second foldable smartphone, is likely to make its debut next year. Despite not releasing a follow-up to the original OnePlus Open in 2024, new details from a tipster hint at the upcoming launch timeline. The device is rumoured to be a rebranded version of the Oppo Find N5, which is expected to be unveiled in early 2025. Reports suggest it will feature Qualcomm's cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.


OnePlus Open 2 To Feature Flagship Snapdragon Chipset Only For A Few Months?


According to information shared by X (formerly Twitter) user Sanju Chaudhary, the OnePlus Open 2 is expected to launch in the latter half of 2025. Similar to its predecessor, the upcoming device is rumoured to be a rebranded version of the Oppo Find N5, which is speculated to debut in China earlier that year.

If these leaks are accurate, the OnePlus Open 2 might feature the same Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset as the Oppo Find N5. However, a launch in the second half of 2025 would mean the chipset might only hold flagship status for a short period, as Qualcomm typically introduces its next-generation processors at its annual summit in October. As of now, OnePlus has not provided any official confirmation or timeline for the successor to the OnePlus Open, which was initially launched in 2023.


OnePlus Open 2: Specifications (Expected)


According to tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese), the rumoured OnePlus Open 2 is expected to feature notable upgrades over its predecessor. The handset is likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and may come with a larger display. Additionally, it is rumoured to house a 5,700mAh battery, offering a significant increase from the 4,800mAh battery found in the first-generation model.


The OnePlus Open 2 is also said to include a customised USB port and could feature Hasselblad-tuned rear cameras, enhancing its photography capabilities. As the launch of both the OnePlus Open 2 and the Oppo Find N5 approaches, more details are expected to surface in the coming months.
