OnePlus fans who were waiting for the OnePlus Open 2 will have to wait longer. The company has confirmed that it will not launch the new foldable phone this year. Many people expected OnePlus to release the Open 2 as the next version of its first foldable phone, OnePlus Open. But now, the company has decided to take a break from making foldable phones for now.
Why is OnePlus Skipping the Open 2?
OnePlus has said that it is “recalibrating” its plan for foldable devices. This means the company wants to take more time to think about its strategy before launching a new model. While OnePlus did not give an exact reason, some reports suggest that it wants to focus on its regular smartphones, like the upcoming OnePlus 13 series.
Even though OnePlus is not launching Open 2, its sister brand, Oppo, will continue making foldable phones. Oppo is expected to launch the Find N5 series, which could have some of the latest features. Since OnePlus and Oppo share a lot of technology, some of these features may come to future OnePlus phones as well.
What Should OnePlus Fans Expect?
If you already own the OnePlus Open, there is no need to worry. OnePlus has promised to continue giving software updates and support for existing users. The company has not said when it will release a new foldable phone, but it might bring a new model in the future.
For now, if you are looking for a new foldable phone, you may have to check options from Samsung, Oppo, or Vivo. OnePlus fans, on the other hand, can look forward to the new OnePlus 13, which may launch later this year.
