FULL STORY ======================================================================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, were 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 wont
get it this year or whether OnePlus has bowed out of the foldable phone
market altogether isnt entirely clear.

But thats not the only OnePlus phone that might have been canceled, because
in a reply, Brar claimed that theres a 90% chance the rumored OnePlus 15s has been canceled too. Another product getting cancelled is the OnePlus Open 2... January 10, 2026 Not yet mainstream

So why would this be? Well, in the case of the OnePlus Open 2, the company previously claimed we wouldnt see this in 2025 because the market wasnt mainstream enough yet, and thats 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 thats 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 OnePluss 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 theres 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, wed 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.
