In Short

• The OnePlus Open 2 could launch in the first quarter of 2025
• OnePlus is yet to confirm the existence of the OnePlus Open
• The OnePlus 13 is also expected to arrive in India in early 2025

OnePlus made waves in the foldable phone market with the release of the OnePlus Open in 2023. A year later, the foldable remains a strong contender, but excitement is now building around its successor. A fresh leak hints that the next generation OnePlus Open, possibly named the OnePlus Open 2, could launch soon.

OnePlus Open 2: Expected launch timeline

Tipster @Rodent950 has claimed on X that the OnePlus Open 2 could launch in the first quarter of 2025. This timeline aligns with the expected launch of the Oppo Find N5, which is the Chinese version of OnePlus' foldable lineup. The original OPPO Find N3 launched globally as the OnePlus Open and was well-received for its design and performance. So, now that the Oppo Find N5 is coming, the OnePlus Open 2 is likely on its way. If the timeline holds true, we might see the Find N5 and OnePlus Open 2 debuting simultaneously around early 2025.

OnePlus Open 2: Camera system updates

Interestingly, the leaker also shared details about potential changes in the camera system. Oppo reportedly tested the quad-camera setup from the Find X8 Ultra on the Find N5 but ultimately decided to retain the current triple-camera configuration. The decision to avoid the larger quad-camera system might be due to concerns over bulkiness, as adding extra cameras could have increased the size and weight of the device. So, this basically means that the new version may retain the older camera setup. The original OnePlus Open model featured an impressive camera setup, including a 64-megapixel 3x periscope camera.

OnePlus 13 and OnePlus Open 2: Which Will Launch First?

One question that remains unclear is which flagship OnePlus will release first in 2025. The OnePlus 13 is also rumoured to launch in early 2025, potentially adding confusion to the brand's release schedule. With both the OnePlus Open 2 and OnePlus 13 rumoured for Q1 2025, it remains to be seen which device will take the spotlight first. However, the OnePlus 13 is confirmed to launch in China sometime this month, giving us a better idea of what to expect when it arrives in India early next year.

As of now, there is no official confirmation regarding the launch dates for either the OnePlus Open 2 or the OnePlus 13. More details are expected to emerge in the coming weeks, especially after the China launch. If the leaks are accurate, people waiting for the OnePlus Open 2 can look forward to an official announcement toward the end of 2024, with availability in early 2025.
