Unfortunately, if you’ve been eagerly awaiting the arrival of theOnePlus Open 2, you’ll have to wait a lot longer.
In a recentblog post, Vale Gu, the Product Manager for theOnePlus Open, expressed gratitude to fans for their enthusiasm and ongoing speculation around its successor. However, he stated that OnePlus has decided not to release afoldable devicein 2025. This news may come as a surprise to many who were anticipating a new foldable phone from OnePlus soon, especially since the highly-anticipatedOppo Find N5is about to launch overseas.
“At OnePlus, our core strength and passion lie in setting new benchmarks and challenging the status quo across all product categories,” Vale said. “With that in mind, we’ve carefully considered the timing and our next steps in foldable devices, and we have made the decision not to release a foldable this year.”

The dreaded folding phone screen crease could soon be a thing of the past

There is still hope on the horizon
To be clear, this update doesn’t mean that the OnePlus Open 2 will never happen. There is still optimism about a foldable launch in 2026. Vale indicates that OnePlus remains committed to the category and aims to enhance its next foldable device with the technological advancements Oppo made with the Find N5.
This means there will be over a two-year release gap between theOnePlus Open, launched in October 2023, and the next foldable device from the company. The Oppo Find N5 was long rumored to be rebranded and launched globally as the OnePlus Open 2, but it appears that is no longer happening this year at least. The Find N5 is set to be fully revealed at an event by Oppo on February 20. Based on teasers Oppo hasposted on X, the Find N5 will have a nearlyinvisible crease linealong with being as slim as a pencil, which is a significant leap forward in foldable technology.
One reason OnePlus made this announcement now was to tame expectations before the Oppo Find N5 release. While it’s a shame OnePlus has decided not to release a foldable device this year, hopefully, whatever the company is working on for 2026 and beyond will be just as exciting and innovative. There are still other foldable phones to look forward to in 2025, including the rumoredGalaxy Z Fold 7and Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold. In 2026, Apple might even release the firstfoldable iPhone.
