Samsung is likely to dominate the foldable market in 2025, particularly in Europe, but its market share is decreasing quickly due to rising competition and exciting new options that are set to launch next year. Among these are the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold, anticipated to debut in the latter half of the year, as well as the Honor Magic V4/Magic V5, Vivo X Fold 4/X Fold 5, and the next version of Oppo's Find N3.
New Developments from Oppo/OnePlus
Despite the critics, Oppo and OnePlus are planning new foldable devices. Their timeline has shifted just a bit from the typical yearly schedule, which is actually a good thing. The Oppo Find N5, which will be released globally as the OnePlus Open 2, is expected to be among the first foldables with the Snapdragon 8 Elite in the upcoming year. This was recently stated by Zhou Yibao, Product Manager for the Oppo Find Series, when responding to a question on Weibo. The Oppo Find N5 is set to arrive in China ahead of the Oppo Find X8 Ultra, which is likely to come after the Chinese New Year.
Anticipated Launches
Indian tipster Yogesh Brar also believes that the global version or the successor to the OnePlus Open (which can be found here at Amazon) will be unveiled shortly.
Insights on what OnePlus/Oppo might offer as alternatives to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 were recently shared by Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station in a Weibo post. He mentioned that the Find N5/Open 2 will be both lighter and slimmer, and that the trend in the industry will not just include Hasselblad camera foldables. The foldable tablet is also rumored to have an IPX8 waterproof rating, a 50 MP periscope telephoto lens, and a bigger battery that can now be charged wirelessly, unlike previous models.
