The foldable phone market is already abuzz with the arrival of the next devices from other top brands including Samsung and Motorola. But in this case, OnePlus (OnePlus) fans may be a bit disappointed Because some reliable tipsters have now claimed that the OnePlus Open 2, the successor to the OnePlus Open model that was launched as the brand's first folding device in October last year, is not launching this year. Let's get to know this in detail.
OnePlus Open 2 foldable phone not coming in 2024
The follow-up model to the first generation OnePlus Open is rumored to launch sometime in 2025. For those who were waiting for OnePlus Open 2 to hit the market this year, the news is undoubtedly disappointing. Although the phone was launched later, the speculation about it did not stop. Rumor has it that the OnePlus Open 2 will run on the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset.
However, not much information is available at the moment about the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. But it is heard that by the end of this year, specifically by October-November, Qualcomm will unveil their flagship in the market. The first phones with this chip could hit the market as early as December, primarily in China. However, there is no specific information about when the devices with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor will make their debut in the global market. And whether OnePlus Open 2 falls into that category is also unknown.
In short, very little information has surfaced about the OnePlus Open 2 so far and the lack of details is likely to continue for some time. Note that the current generation OnePlus Open model is actually a rebranded version of the Oppo Find N3 phone launched in China. Following this trend, the OnePlus Open 2 handset is expected to be a rebadged version of the Oppo Find N5 model.
Note that the speculation that the OnePlus Open 2 phone will not be released this year is likely to be correct. Because an earlier report said that Oppo will not be able to bring the Oppo Find N5 foldable to the market before 2025. Since it is speculated that the OnePlus Open 2 will be a rebranded version of the said Oppo phone, the news of its delayed launch is not surprising.
