The OnePlus Open 2 is thought to be based on the Oppo phone, and likely to get a global release.
If 2024 left you a little disappointed at the lack of a new folding phone fromOnePlus, then 2025 could be your year – the highly-anticipated OnePlus Open 2 is seemingly being prepared for launch.
TheOnePlus Openwas launched in 2023 and very well-received, with many impressed with the overall design and some of the innovative software features, especiallyOpen Canvas. Indeed, it is regarded as one of thebest folding phonesso far – but now two years old, it’s time for an update.

There’s a good chance that the Oppo Find N5 will only launch in select markets, with the OnePlus Open 2 being the device that gets a global launch soon after. Pete Lau also goes further, telling us to look forward to February when the Oppo Find N5 will presumably be announced.
It’s unlikely that the OnePlus Open 2 will launch at the same time, but it sets us up nicely for the launch of that new phone in subsequent months. It might be a little ambitious to hope for it atMobile World Congressin early March, but OnePlus has often used the show to tease new devices.
What to expect from the OnePlus Open 2
Aside from a really thin design, we’ve previously heard that the OnePlus Open 2 will offer IPX8 waterproofing and wireless charging. We’re expecting to see a silicon-carbon battery in the new phone, allowing OnePlus to increase the capacity without increasing the bulk too much.
