Recently, rumors swirled about the second generation of the book-style foldable from OnePlus, hinting that this year, the Chinese company might pass on its release. Instead, the sequel to OnePlus Open is more likely to hit the shelves at some point in 2025, reportedly sporting the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset under the hood. And now, a fresh rumor adds weight to this speculation.

The foldable could feature a lighter hinge, a slim design, and a periscope camera

This fresh rumor seems plausible, especially considering the timing. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor hasn’t been officially revealed yet, and if past patterns are anything to go by, we can expect its announcement to happen around October or November 2024.

Just like last year both the OnePlus Open and the Find N3 series were unveiled globally on October 19, the OnePlus Open 2 is anticipated to debut around the same time as the Oppo Find N5 series this time, too.

Do you wonder why OnePlus and Oppo phones are so similar? Well, Oppo and OnePlus are essentially sister companies under the same parent company, BBK Electronics. BBK Electronics also owns other smartphone brands like Vivo, Realme, and iQOO.
