A late launch for the OnePlus Open 2?

Rumor has it that the OnePlus Open 2 launch could be much later than expected, with a potential release slated for late 2025.

The highly anticipated OnePlus Open 2 could be delayed

The highly anticipated OnePlus Open 2, successor to the famous OnePlus Open, may not arrive as quickly as expected. Indeed, Sanju Choudharya self-proclaimed “leaker”, suggests that the launch of Open 2 could be pushed back to the second half of 2025. This assertion contrasts with previous rumors which predicted a launch in the first quarter of 2025.

If this prediction proves correct, the OnePlus Open 2 could appear more than 18 months after the launch of its predecessor, or even two years later. Despite this, the OnePlus Open remains at the top of our guide to the best foldable phones, even after the launch of newer devices from Samsung and Google. However, OnePlus will need to release a sequel quickly if it wants to maintain this position.

A foldable phone that's both slim and powerful

Besides the potential launch delay, there are other rumors circulating about the OnePlus Open 2. According to some sources, it could be the world's thinnest foldable phone at its launch, while integrating a substantial 6,000 mAh battery. These two improvements would be welcome, but more information would be appreciated to better understand the potential of this future phone.

Waiting for the OnePlus 13 and 13R

While the wait for the OnePlus Open 2 may seem interminable, OnePlus fans can take solace in the launch of OnePlus 13 et 13Rscheduled for January 7, 2025. These two new models in OnePlus' standard range promise to be impressive, if we are to believe the few details revealed so far by the brand. It could therefore be that OnePlus will also dominate the ranking of the best Android phones in 2025, in addition to that of the best foldable phones.

In the meantime, technology enthusiasts can look at comparisons such as astrophotography on the iPhone 16 Pro Max vs Galaxy S24 Ultra vs Pixel 9 Pro XL, or the expected improvements of the OnePlus 13R compared to the OnePlus 12R.
