OnePlus said it will not release a follow-up to its first foldable phone, the OnePlus Open, this year. Vale G, OnePlus Open product manager, confirmed the company is "recalibrating for innovation" and pausing its foldable plans. This decision comes as OPPO prepares to launch the Find N5 in China, leading many to expect a corresponding OnePlus Open 2.

While OnePlus assures users it's not abandoning the foldable market, the company stated it wants to focus on "setting new benchmarks" and believes this pause is the "right approach." The existing OnePlus Open will continue to receive software updates and security patches. This development also raises the possibility of the Oppo Find N5 being released internationally.

OnePlus hopes to capitalize on the foldable hype with the OnePlus Open Apex Edition. While the device is largely a rehash of last year's model, the striking crimson colour and minor tweaks hope to entice those looking for a fresh foldable option. With a hefty price tag of $2,599.99, OnePlus is betting on the allure of exclusive features and a premium design to justify the cost.

The standout feature of the OnePlus Apex Edition is its crimson shadow colorway, which gives the device a more luxurious feel compared to the standard model. The vegan leather back cover provides excellent grip and adds a touch of sophistication. However, the core design remains unchanged, including the display quality and the noticeable but manageable crease.
