A OnePlus Open It was an amazingly good device, especially considering that this was the first attempt by the company to make a folding phone. Unfortunately, c Public note is published todayOnePlus announced that the proper continuation of the opening will not arrive in 2025.
In the message, the manager of OnePlus Open Product Vale G. said that the company “carefully examined the time and our next steps in folding devices, and we decided not to release this year.” This is definitely a bummer, especially for fans of devices with flexible displays in the United States, which cannot easily buy phones from Chinese brands, such as HuaweiIN Xiaomi and OnePlus' Maternal company OppoThe field is also a little shock, given that an open blow to the shelves more than a year and a half ago at the end of 2023, so this was supposed to be received for updating.
One positive conclusion from this lies in the fact that although the OnePlus Open 2 does not happen this year, the company does not give up on Foldables forever, saying: “This is not a step back, this is a redesigning. Our commitment to innovations is stronger than when liba, and we are glad to bring you a fresh, unique experience that really never settles. ” For owners, Open OnePlus also noted that the phone will continue to receive regular software and security updates in accordance with the schedule.
Unfortunately, this means that for the American market there are only two main manufacturers who still make large folding phones: Samsung and Google, which we expect to announce the illuminated models somewhere this summer. The worst thing is that when it comes to the Galaxy Z Fold line, a recent lack of competition feels that this allowed Samsung to relax with Z Fold 6 Only by offering improvements of the middle level compared to previous generations. So, we hope that OnePlus will be able to return to the fight soon to help stimulate competition between a handful of phone manufacturers who are still trying to introduce innovations with a small but slowly growing niche.
