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.

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.
