OnePlus achieved considerable success with the OnePlus Open, its inaugural foray into the foldable smartphone market. Launched in 2023, the Open quickly garnered a loyal following, leaving fans eager for its successor. Amidst a flurry of rumors surrounding the OnePlus Open 2, we’re bringing you an exclusive first look, in collaboration with industry insiders Yogesh Brar & Chunvn.

Based on a late-stage prototype, these renders offer valuable insights into the upcoming foldable. OnePlus appears to be going for a design refresh, with the Open 2 becoming larger yet thinner than its predecessor. The bold circular camera module remains, housing a triple-lens system proudly bearing the Hasselblad branding.

When folded, the OnePlus Open 2 is said to measure just under 10mm thin, potentially ranking it among the slimmest foldable phones available. Furthermore, it boasts an IPX8 rating, a significant upgrade from the original OnePlus Open’s IPX4 rating.

The OnePlus Open 2 is rumored to feature an 8-inch, 120Hz, 2K LTPO main display complemented by a 6.4-inch AMOLED cover screen. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC will power the device, coupled with up to 16GB of RAM and a generous 1TB of storage.

OnePlus Open 2 Expected Launch Date

The OnePlus Open 2 is projected to launch in China early next year, followed by a global release in late Q1 2025. It’s worth noting that the OnePlus Open 2 is likely to be a rebranded version of the OPPO Find N5, with both smartphones slated for a global launch around the same time. At launch, the OnePlus Open 2 will probably be available in two memory/storage configurations and two color options, including a standard black variant.

I love my OPO and if the deal for a 2 is good I may get it, it sounds like a solid upgrade. Truthfully of its not a good deal I will pass until prices fall.
