The OnePlus Open is one of the best folding phones you can buy, and rightfully so, there are many rumors about a sequel phone

When we reviewed the first phone, we praised everything from the sleek design to the dynamic open canvas multitasking capabilities; the OnePlus Open 2 has everything we want, including better cameras and features The rumors are still pretty minor at this point, at least compared to devices like Samsung's Galaxy S25, but there is still a lot to be excited about

So we will summarize all the rumors we have reported so far and add to them until the final launch

So far, we have seen several rumors that the OnePlus Open 2 will not be released this year The first rumor speculated that the phone would be released sometime in 2025 This information came from two well-known tipsters, both of whom agree that the OnePlus Open 2 will be released next year

Another tipster also confirmed the 2025 release, but was able to give a more detailed answer: according to Tipster Teme (@Rodent950), both the Open 2 and Oppo Find N5 (the phone on which the Open is based) will appear in Q1 next year This means that both phones will be available in the first quarter of next year This means we could see the phones at some point between January and March

One of the most potent rumors about the OnePlus Open 2 is that it will probably be the thinnest foldable ever; rumors from Digital Chat Station indicate that the Open 2 will have a 92mm Display similar to that of the HONOR Magic V3 It is possible that the foldable will be thicker In a subsequent post, DCS stated that this thinness would be “record breaking”

Apart from the thinness, the same rumor stated that we could be looking at a three-level button setup, improved water resistance and structural reinforcement

It also appears that the OnePlus Open 2 will maintain the same three-camera setup as the current OnePlus Open Rumors suggest that OnePlus tried to add a flagship quad camera array from the upcoming Find X8 Ultra, but the device became too thick, so the new model will likely feature the same camera setup as the current OnePlus Open 2 This is good news for fans of this design

There are also rumors that the OnePlus Open 2 will feature a 6,000 mAh battery This would not only be big for a folding phone, but would also be an important power cell for the best smartphones The original OnePlus Open had a relatively small 4,805 mAh battery, so this phone would be an important upgrade, especially considering how much power folding phones use

So far, we have not heard much concrete information about the hardware specs on the OnePlus Open 2 However, most rumors suggest that the phone will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset If true, this would mean a more advanced chip than the Galaxy Z Fold 6, but it should be noted that the OnePlus Open struggled to maximize the performance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 it was equipped with

We still don't know much about OnePlus' next foldable phone, but what we do know points in the right direction If accurate, we will have the thinnest foldable ever, which would be a huge advantage for some consumers Add to this a significantly improved chip and an additional IP rating, and there is no doubt that the OnePlus Open 2 will remain one of the best foldable phones

However, the suggestion that it will have the same camera as the OnePlus Open is worrisome One of the selling points of any phone is that it has a better camera than the previous model Hopefully, we will hear about some improvements, along with possible AI features, in the months before launch
