"The year started on a downer, with the company canceling its foldable plans for 2025 back in February. The OnePlus Open from 2023 was a phenomenal product, not just because it was an excellent foldable, but also because it was an excellent smartphone. It was expected to be followed by the OnePlus Open 2, a rebranded Oppo Find N5, which would continue the legacy of its predecessor."
"The OnePlus 13s solved the age-old problem of having to pick any two between compact design, flagship performance, and good battery life. Here was a phone that, for the first time, could manage all three. The phone wasn't without its flaws. Despite the claims of being a flagship, the only area it felt like a flagship was in performance, with everything else, most notably the cameras, being distinctly mid-range."
OnePlus launched nearly a dozen products worldwide in 2025 while undergoing a controversial strategic shift. The company canceled its planned OnePlus Open 2 and put its foldable roadmap on hold after the OnePlus Open (2023) had been an excellent foldable and smartphone. The OnePlus 13s delivered compact design, flagship-level performance, and strong battery life, though cameras and several other areas felt distinctly mid-range. The 13s also faced limited availability, being sold only in India with the 13T limited to China. The Nord line experienced setbacks after the Nord 4's praised design, with the Nord 5 judged a loser.
