OnePlus Open 2 Launch Delayed to 2025; Tipped to Feature Snapdragon 8 Gen 4

OnePlus Open 2 Launch Reportedly Delayed

A leak on X (formerly Twitter) claims that OPPO's foldable smartphone, the Find N5, will not be released this year. Given that the OnePlus Open was essentially an international version of the OPPO Find N3, the lack of a Find N3 sequel strongly implies that there will also not be an Open 2. Rebranding OPPO's phones that were exclusive to China for global markets, including India, is something OnePlus does often.

Additionally, a source has said that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset-equipped OnePlus Open 2 would not be released until 2025. The anticipated release date of Qualcomm's next-generation chipset is planned for October of this year. With the newest chipset included, the OnePlus Open 2 could be worth the wait, even if the release is pushed out to 2025. Even though it's from 2023, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is still powering the current OnePlus Open. Although we can expect more information as the debut date of the OnePlus Open 2 draws near, there are currently very little facts available.
