High Expectations After the Success of OnePlus Open
The previous OnePlus Open received widespread acclaim for its sleek design and powerful performance. As a result, expectations are high for the forthcoming model. Industry insiders expect the OnePlus Open 2 to offer improved performance and user experience, while maintaining its signature foldable design.
Camera System: Sticking with Triple-Lens Setup
One of the major talking points from recent leaks revolves around the camera system of the OnePlus Open 2. Initial rumours hinted at a quad-camera setup, but it seems the manufacturer has decided to retain a triple-camera configuration. Concerns over the increased size and weight of the device appear to have influenced this decision, as a larger quad-camera system might have compromised the phone’s sleekness.
The original OnePlus Open featured an impressive 64-megapixel 3x periscope camera, and it's expected that the new model will deliver similarly high-quality photography.
Potential Competition with OnePlus 13 Flagship
Adding to the buzz is the rumoured launch of another OnePlus flagship, the OnePlus 13, which is also slated for early 2025. The timing of these releases may cause some confusion, with speculation regarding which device will take priority for the brand. The OnePlus 13 is expected to debut in China later this month, which may offer further insights into the global release schedule.
Awaiting Official Confirmation
While OnePlus has yet to officially confirm any launch dates for the Open 2, more details are anticipated in the coming weeks. If the rumours prove accurate, fans of the foldable series could see an official announcement before the end of 2024, with the device becoming available in early 2025.
