OnePlus not launching the Open 2 is a massive win for Samsung


Samsung has no reason to innovate with the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

The OnePlus Open was a revelation; the sleek design, terrific camera package, and standout battery life meant that the device was a viable alternative to Samsung's foldable efforts. OPPO has good presence in Asia and is once again starting to sell its products in select western markets, but it doesn't have a foothold in North America — the region was seen as OnePlus's territory within the BBK conglomerate. If anything, the Open 2 was set to be the biggest challenger to Samsung's dominance in North America, and as the device isn't launching now, there's even less incentive for the brand to introduce any meaningful changes with the Z Fold 7.
