OnePlus Open was one of the standout foldables of 2023, not just because of its hardware, but also thanks to surprisingly polished software. With such success, it was natural to expect a successor that would build on it.
But OnePlus never shipped an Open 2 in 2024 or 2025. And now, even 2026 doesn’t look promising either.
According to a report from Smartprix, OnePlus has canceled the global launch of the OnePlus Open 2 for 2026. Otherwise, it was scheduled to launch in Q3, 2026.
The report doesn’t specify why OnePlus pulled the plug, but rising RAM and storage costs may have played a role.
What makes the move especially strange is that the phone had already entered internal testing. Scrapping a product this late in development is unusual, especially for a device that has spent the last two years building hype among foldable fans.
That said, people curious about what the Open 2 could have been may want to look at Oppo’s upcoming Find N6 instead. The OnePlus Open 2 was expected to be based on Oppo’s foldable, following the same shared-hardware strategy OnePlus used for the original Open.
OnePlus Open 2: expected specs
The Open 2 was expected to feature an 8.12-inch 2K folding display paired with a 6.6-inch AMOLED cover screen, with both panels running at a smooth 165Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, the phone would have used Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, combined with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
For cameras, OnePlus reportedly planned a triple 50-megapixel rear setup, including ultrawide and telephoto lenses. The phone also featured a 32MP selfie camera on the cover screen and a 20MP camera on the inner display.
There’s apparently a 6000mAh battery, 80W wired and 50W wireless charging support, and the prototype model had a black faux-leather finish and used a chassis design similar to Huawei’s Mate X7.
