- A leaker claims the OnePlus Open 2 and OnePlus 15s might both have been canceled
- In both cases a very similar phone might be sold instead
- There’s still a chance we could see a new OnePlus foldable next year
The OnePlus Open was one of the best foldable phones around when it launched back in 2023. And yet, despite receiving high praise from us and elsewhere, we’re yet to see a successor – and it now seems we might not see one for a long time, if ever.
According to Yogesh Brar – a leaker with a generally solid track record – the OnePlus Open 2 has been canceled, though whether that means we simply won’t get it this year or whether OnePlus has bowed out of the foldable phone market altogether isn’t entirely clear.
But that’s not the only OnePlus phone that might have been canceled, because in a reply, Brar claimed that there’s a 90% chance the rumored OnePlus 15s has been canceled too.
Not yet mainstream
So why would this be? Well, in the case of the OnePlus Open 2, the company previously claimed we wouldn’t see this in 2025 because the market wasn’t mainstream enough yet, and that’s arguably still the case now.
That might change soon, as the iPhone Fold is reportedly landing this year, and could push foldables into the spotlight – so perhaps OnePlus will choose to launch another foldable phone after that, in 2026, but that’s just speculation for now.
The other major reason that we might not see the OnePlus Open 2 this year is that as NotebookCheck points out, Oppo – which owns OnePlus – is reportedly planning a global release for the Find N6 – and if there was a OnePlus Open 2, this would likely be little more than a rebadged Find N6 anyway.
So in that case there would be little need for a OnePlus Open 2, and it might just risk eating into sales of a foldable from OnePlus’s parent company.
As for the OnePlus 15s, this would likely only have been sold in India anyway, and would probably be similar to the still-upcoming OnePlus 15T, so perhaps the company has simply judged that there’s no need for two different models that are so similar. However, whether the 15T will be widely available outside China remains to be seen.
Of course, we’d take these cancelation claims with a pinch of salt for now anyway, but be sure to keep an eye on our list of the best OnePlus phones for any new models.
