For previous ones as well! Thanks Ken!
Thanks dude
I thought those wallpaper are one of the phone default theme. Thanks
The got my atention the wallpaper looks good on the phone
Thank you!
the IR blaster is a major go for me. I cant tell you how irritating it is to lose the TV remote and not be able to control it with your phone. Idk why more people dont use the IR blaster but for me its an essential feature on a phone
I love foldables because they are so versatile and convenient. I used to have a tablet for reading comics and manga, but it was too bulky and I hardly ever used it. It just sat in my bag, acting as a huge powerbank. But with a foldable, I can enjoy the big screen when I want to read, and then fold it up when I'm done. It's always there, ready to use, and it fits in my pocket. Foldables are the best thing ever for comic and manga fans like me.
It must be amazing for Manga. Kindest regards, Richard U.K
I still found them bit bulky (wide), I'd prefer the Oppo find N2 size
but that specs are hella good
Excellent point.
Man the IR BLASTER! Need this device and I love the smoothness of OnePlus Os. Also I agree this should be compared to the 512gb models of pixel and Galaxy.
Oneplus Open has 512gb of storage. I think the price should be compared with the 512gb variants of the Samsung Z fold 5 or the Pixel Fold. Those are priced above $1900.
I did not know it started at 512, thank you
In my country zfold5 1tb is cheaper than oppo find n3
Nah. If it’s the only spec they offer it should be compared to the base models
In india you can get z fold cheaper than one plus open
You should be reviewing tech. I have yet to see anyone make this huge point. Great job!
5:23 yesss I made it in a denki video
I'm loving the tech updates ken I'm trying to get into tech but having problems being in my situation with the heart disease and everything but I will get there it's happening slowly
I got the z flip 5 this year to dip my toes in to foldables and so far I'm loving it. I'm going to keep my eye on one plus when i upgrade next time for sure this things looks amazing.
You channel got suggested to me at random. I like your content. Good stuff.

thanks. i don't know why all video youtubers don't timestamp all their videos!
@@raskarl that's why I'm here
Pretty detailed. Keep it up !!
Playing any game on a folding phone is like playing games on a square monitor
Which we did for decades. Also, you can change the aspect ratio if you want.
Hope they update multitasking to even more combinations like 3 panels across and one big wide one at the bottom. Open canvas is a nice addition to ways of multitasking in addition to how one ui does it. If we could have all on one phone with some way to toggle between methods it would be great
It’s limited to 3 apps at a time to effectively use the ram
Right now it's 2 on top and 1 below
Kudos to being the only video I've seen to show that condensation issue, other big channels mentioned it in passing but wouldn't go into details out of fear
Does it suffer from the same thing that the Galaxy fold for suffered from with the inside screen? I had to fold for and I guess a piece of dirt got under the inside screen somehow piece of dust and it completely cracked the inside screen and broke it Is it a similar screen setup to where that could happen and I wasn't the only one that had that happen in their phones
My First fancy phone was the oneplus 3. I really like the look of this.
Bro where you get your wallpaper ????? Plzzzzz
A big miss was showing the vertical split screen mode on one plus vs just the horizontal.
@denki where you get those wallpapers from?
Not Ken calling ubreakifix "I break, you fix" at 10:34 🤣😆🤣😆🤣
actually that's my new company 😂
Love seeing that Slam dunk manga on the foldable.
does it have the hidden partition like the previous OnePlus
Moisture inside the lenses. That's a huge no go.
Aye a little moisture won't hurt😏
It was a pre production problem....some review unit has the issue OnePlus replaced them as far I have heard and we will not get the issue most probably
All I want to know where does he get his backgrounds from on the phone
i was hoping that the inner screen still remains the landscape ratio like the oppo find n2
I love the camera look on the back of the phone.
It makes it look awesome and unique.
It's not boring like every other phone like the Samsung Galaxy Fold.
That's one reason why I purchased the phone. The awesome look and thinness also the IR blaster. That sealed the deal for me.
Great review, Great Channel, NEW FOLLWER!!
All in all a very interesting review but one thing i simply cant agree with is 9:18. Sure its nice to be able to switch between apps in one tap BUT nothing beats just straight up sizing the app to your liking. I can play hearthstone and have a small floating youtube or whatsapp on my fold, i dont want to switch between them all the time, i want hearthsone to be fullscreen and the secondary app to be a resizable window. The one+ open is an amazing device but as someone whos been daily driving a samsung folable for 3y now, the software may still be a dealbreaker. (Just feels unfisnished to me whereas oneUI feels like a proper desktop experience at times)
Bro kept the Titan Army display😂
This is the one folding phone I can consider a successor to my Duo 2! Can the canvas mode run even more than three apps at the same time? (While the apps are active as well)
Also it'll be a little challenge to get this in Germany because of the patent thingy with Nokia... D:
Inwiefern meinst du? Hatte um ehrlich zu sein schon vor mir das Ding zu holen :D mein fold 2 hat seinen Dienst erfüllt
Denki where did u get that wallpaper??
Making copy will be perfect
The 200$ offer is not universal. It's only in north America. In the EU it's 1850€ and no offers or discounts.
Man, I was really waiting for this phone but then heard about it being pushed back because of screen issues and a changeover and thought it would be pushed back into next year. So, I went for a Pixel Fold. Now, I'm starting to regret that choice.
Don't regret it, a lot of these UA-camrs are putting out everything about the device on what features you will be missing on your device, I was originally going to buy the device until I found out the device doesn't have tint mode or reverse table top mode like the pixel fold does, no wireless charging, no waterproofing, what astounds me is OnePlus made one of the fastest wireless chargers in the game and don't put it on their flagship devices...
Just trade in the fold if you bought I cash, that phone is a horrible fold imo and Samsung or oneplus are much better
@@RJ_Uploads first of all you should know that no top end smartphone makers make a "waterproof phone", and second it's rated at IPX4. PLEASE do some research!
@@RJ_Uploads
I can guarantee you they will put the wireless charging in the next fold.
What is the beautiful and huge watch you have on, I need it so bad
What’s the music video at 9:43?
9:14 Thats how I have always felt about multitasking on a smartphone haha. You are just splitting an already small screen into two even smaller screens and then when you add a keyboard in the mix it's just pointless.
The condensation in the camera lens seems like a massive F up
Otherwise the phone is really awesome and if I could afford to have an iPhone and a foldable, this would be top runner
Yeah, they had most major tech influencers/journalists out there and we were all kinda scratching our heads at that one. Perhaps the high-elevation and moisture were a bad combo, but it's not a good look for what is otherwise a killer phone.
@DNKI No mmWave support and wireless charging on a 1700 dollar phone is unacceptable.
@@green9227 you right. I meant to say A top runner. Not THE top runner. Does make you curious about their next endeavor though for sure
@@DNKI I've heard it could be an issue with test devices only. OnePlus swapped out other review Opens that had the same issue and the replacements were fine
@@green9227in the UK Samsung offer the 256 GB fold 5 for 1850 pounds without a charger at all . They must have spent too much money sponsoring Ball sports.
2:05 A modern telephone from 2023 with an IR blaster?! What?!
@DNKI , you do realise that there is a foldable called Oppo Find N3 Foldable
If only it wwsnt for the chinese rom i would go for the N3. Better color choices and 1tb storage. I know its global but all i can find is chinese rom versions which is a no go for me
I break you fix sounds like a very fun business idea
Are you wearing an individual throttle body gasket as a necklace pendant ? Kinda digging it !
It's actually an exhaust gasket. When I went to the F1 GP in Japan, there was an titanium exhaust company selling Ti mugs, pendants and rings haha
Dope@@DNKI
multitasking on phone got real
New release. Time will tell on durability.
Hmm that moisture in the camera bump isn't good. Another one had dead pixels at the bottom of the screen.
Nice video. But I don't get why every single reviewer out there screams about the peak brightness of 2800 nits but nobody speaks of how much percent of the screen could be lit up at 2800 nits for how long ... What's more important is typical maximum brightness under manual mode and HBM under auto mode which is sustained and is a 100% window size.
You look like one of my favorite Malaysian icons, Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing.
Thank you for the excellent review. I have ordered the phone and should have it by mid-November. Hopefully, OnePlus will be able to handle any issues with the fold, or condensation on the camera lens. I am trading in the OnePlus 10Pro. Their screen protector was not great on the 10Pro, hopefully this will not be a problem.
Does it has stylus support... ✍️
I wish all phones had IR blasters
Pen support on this one? Sister company did it with the Find N2
find n3 pen works on it too you know :).
Z Fold 5 and Pixel Fold cost $1799 for the 256GB. OnePlus Open cost $1699 for the 512gb!
I still think it should have launched with Android 14
It's not out for all devices yet, my Fold 5 has it as a Beta, but my old Fold 3 does not
where do you get those wallpapers?
Man, please..what's the app you use to read manga?
Since your review oneplus has reiterate that the $200 off is a preorder discount, not a trade in offer. You don't need to send in any device to get $200 off :) But if you choose to trade in, you could get up to $1000 off, on top of that 👍
It’s not just preorder, it’s indefinite during sales of this phone. Watch the gadget match video where the oneplus rep says this in an interview
Can't wait till I get mine next week
how is it
The amount of creators calling this "a first generation foldable” is wild to me. I get it's the first under the One Plus name but it's a copy of the Find N 3, Oppo's 3rd generation foldable.
It's a great phone. Probably the best foldable. It is not a first generation though.
Money from oppo.
This is literally the exact same phone as the Oppo Find N3 except for the OS skin and branding.
I'm assuming all the RnD is done by Oppo and then slap on the One Plus brand for certain market (mainly western countries?). In South East Asia here we got the Oppo one instead.
@@hukesama8389 Not even skin anymore, it's 1/1 carbon copy of ColorOS. OxygenOS doesn't exist anymore.
denki da best
hmm... so that's what that taskbar at the bottom of my galaxy ultra tablet is for...
I'm wondering if this has a secure folder or second space feature like the xiaomi or the Samsung where you can have two apps accounts for all apps on the same phone?
I think it does (not entirely sure)
I am genuinely upset. Reviews for the Open started to come out 2 days after the end of my return window for the Fold 5
That camera bump is actually genius if it does what I hope it does, act as a place to thread traditional camera filters. If the sensor is of decent size adding a Black Pro-Mist filter or Glimmer Glass could be an amazing way to cut down on the digital oversharpness phone cameras tend to have
I love that idea, though it's smarter than I'd give them credit for.
Might as well give a standard filter thread, I use a Moment filter adapter on my iPhone and Variable NDs for video to get my shutter speed lower in the daytime.
Would be nice if it was like the Xoami. That's some kit!
There have been some prototypes that tried just that but we'll probably still have to wait a couple of years for that
Damn I wanted to get this phone but that condensation problem in the cameras is not good this is the 2nd video I've seen with this complaint
If you buy a phone like this you NEED to get it insured anyways, there's no other way unless you don't mind loosing your sleep. And in that case they just cover damages like those. I bet the OnePlus is also gonna be so rare that insurance companies have to start sending out open 2s as replacements at some point in the future (just like they have to do with galaxy folds)
@Terrorbrot I don't want insurance and it's not necessary there's a year warranty on Samsung folds no point in paying more money for insurance im not sure what one plus offers but that's besides the point of this very bad design issue
@@jasonelliot9633 yea bro if you say so xD and then my man cries himself to sleep after loosing 2 grand over absolutely nothing 😂😂
(Fun fact: here in Europe the warranty lasts 2 years, but it's still an absolute scam, they see one scratch on your device and will stop the whole process, wich only makes sense because they would go broke otherwise)
This is the first foldable phone that I really feel like I could use. The hinge looks to be robust and the fold isn't horribly intrusive.
I watched Ben from Ben's gadget reviews drop the OnePlus Open from his pocket while he was riding his bike across a bridge and it bounced a few times on the cement but ended up just having the rail scratched up and no damage to either screen or camera bump 😳
They need to call this device the OnePlus Fold instead of OnePlus Open. I keep calling it the OnePlus Fold. It just makes more sense.
Awesome phone. With trade in of my 14 pro max its only 579.00 including the buds pro for free. Nowadays saying the full price is what a phone cost is is redonkulous. Also I am slightly reserved due to seeing MKBHD and he has dead pixels already in the inside screen after only 3 weeks. Causes me to have hesitation.
Only $579? Sure, if your 14 Pro Max was free originally.
I'll say it again, if you buy a phone like this you NEED Insurance. For a multitude of reasons I won't all go into here but mainly for your own sleep. And in that case those dead pixels aren't really a big concern. Anyone buying a foldable just gambling on warranty and good luck is inevitably going to be disappointed. However a properly insured fold is not only cheaper than for example staying on the newest iphone, it also provides you with incredible amounts of productivity (and fun)
@@Terrorbrot By the time you pay insurance which is $200 or more and deductible of another $200 or more, you're over $2k for a worthless phone when time comes to trade in. Even OnePlus doesn't offer anything on their own phones. They're trash.
@@IllIIllllIlIlIll insurance may be 200-300€ over the years but it keeps your fold from loosing value, honestly I'm too tired to go into the very details but foldables don't work like slabs in that regard, because they can't simply be repaired or replaced by a refurbished device. Also the fold 5 is barely 1200€ here wich is the price every fold has dropped to after 3 months and wich it will probably stay at until the next gen comes out. Buying foldables at retail price is a waste of money and so is not getting them insured. Also I'd never do it with the manufacturer because they know best wich problems their devices have, the one me and my friends use simply sends whatever fold they have on stock rn, wich means you get an almost guaranteed "free" (130€) upgrade if you have something as rare as maybe a fold 2/3 (and the pixel open in a few years probably). They can't scam you out of your money as easily because these don't loose value with time like normal phones *. My fold 2 is still technically valued at 800€ because there are like 2/3 offers in the whole of Germany.
* edit: unless they have signs of wear at wich point they become basically unsellable
Aye I see that Tachiyomi
No Suica kills me…
Wait a minute..is it the same phone with different brands? OnePlus Open and Oppo Find N3 Fold??
same phone same specs, but with different OS (colorOS vs Oxygen OS) (chinese OS vs International OS)
So, does it have a native desktop mode
My biggest question is for $1,800. Can it at least do a desktop mode like Samsung and Huawei? Other than that, if it's only $18 because it folds, it is really worthless. For over $2,000 after taxes, I expected to get a computer, a tablet, a cell phone, a good camera, for that price. If we're missing out on one single feature, aka desk top mode, it is not worth anything. Considering technically foldable phones are more fragile. in real world practice.
So, does it have a native desktop mode?
As someone whos on a fold for over 3y now, I've not once actually used Samsung Dex a single time xD.
Dont get me wrong I fully agree that it's a nice thing to have, but with a phone that's a tablet anyways, you don't really need a mobile desktop anymore. What's 100000x more important is how well multitasking works. For example I don't only want to switch between apps real fast, I also want to Splitscreen them properly, something the OnePlus open can't seem to do at all right now. That's the deal-breaker for me ATM.
good phone first yes
Is the any phone trade in for $200 real or alie?
In my country, oppo service is excellent. I got the find x5 pro and they told me I can get a case and screen protector from them for life. I just have to go to their service center.
This is so far my favorite foldable this year. But the inconvenience of having to send the phone for screen protector replacement instead of just going to a store and have it replaced in a few minutes is what I hate.
Great one more device that i cant afford 😅
Looks awesome, but $1,600 for a phone is way out of my reach. I'll stick with my Microsoft Duo.
It's an Oppo N3 with oxygen os. How did OP take a long time to figure this phone out? 🤦♂️
This phone sounds pretty awesome all things considered, but I'd be worried about not having full screen for scrolling social media and watching UA-cam once the screen has been folded out.
What do you mean? There's nothing stopping you from using the full screen.
Seems sus, 2 day battery for 4800 is cap.
Can't really class it as a first attempt. It's rebranded oppo n3
Sorry, but if the camera bump is going to be as big as half of the phone, then just make the damn phone thicker.
I thought the same thing at first, but making a foldable thicker is a proposition that requires more consideration than doing it on a normal smartphone. I'd rather them scale back the cameras than have it be dummy thick closed
Imagine people complaining about the phone becoming thinner 😂😂
Tech just isn't at a point where cameras are 1mm thin, so until then why not just let them fucking experiment? I find the approach of putting all the camera hardware in the hump really smart and probably the direction we'll be heading for the next year's.
Just look at the Huawei mate X2, how are they supposed to put a camera into like half a centimetre of phone. This is the only sensible approach.
Really a fan of foldable phones. Finally got a fold after i once had a flip 3 and the battery was meh. Fold 5 is really good and i dont have to much complaints with it
OnePlus has been doing shockingly good in the lower end and the midrange segment for the price, many of those devices being offered for free. They have just been getting lots of flak at the flagship level due to the lack of software support and integrations. I hope this incentivizes them to do better with software support, continue developing as they are in the midrange and getting consumers back on board with their philosophy.
They embraced Google instead of working against the grain for this phone, and I hope that continues in future versions of OxygenOS
op 7pro and the op5 where great
Man i have been wanting a foldable just to use and geek out with it. Personally i prefer iphones for day to day but i still keep my old oneplus 7 pro around for backup,read manga, etc. Wouldve gone with this one if i didnt manage to upgrade to a 15 pro max. But oh well maybe ill wait till next year
i still have a op7 pro as well as iphone promax 13
@@Puppyjans honestly love this combo, both phones are great sadly my op7 pro suffers from screen burn in and bad battery
Get over it, iPhones are obsolete
OnePlus Open is 10/10 !!
But no wireless charging, then it's 6/10
No wireless charging killed it for me. I'd have happily swapped from Samsung otherwise. Such a disappointing near-miss.
Apple will be soo angry this time😠🤣
No they'll be mad in about 5y when people are already using their phone for everything from gaming to work but iPhones are still seen as social media and text messaging machines. The open is the first (almost) no-compromise foldable so I'd not surprised if it helps the tech as a whole take over the market. Meanwhile apple is busy limiting how their customers are allowed to use their devices, because opening up 2 apps side by side could overwhelm their poor little brains.
This is what i asked 👌
I think people are exaggerating this phone by a mile. The oppo find n2 came out last year and had pen support. That phone started at $1500. What did they change so much to justify the extra $200? All in all I'm happy it's going to make Samsung step their game up. Samsung has been lazy since the z fold 3.
😂WOW... YOUR VOICE DEFINITELY DOES NOT MATCH YOUR FACE 😂😂😂
0:02 …can we _really_ honestly call it a first attempt when the hardware is a rebadged Oppo Find N3?
better then samsung fold 5 ? would you use this or the samsung
Letterbox is unsightly? Nonsense.
Not even! The camera sucks 😂
Great video! I wanna know what Austin thinks about it.😊
bro that wallpaper is 🌌🌌🌠goated as the phone itself
Hopefully we get a link
Don't forget that if you want it in black, it's in some weird fake leather. It looks dated IMO.
The black looks way better in person, especially with the gunmetal rails. Makes the phone easier to grip too
Amazing phone but too much money 😕
The hinge is rated for all those folds, sadly the display is not, there are already reports of dead pixels in the middle area where it folds, less than a month after use 😬 the fact that you can find a Fold 5 for cheaper than this is kinda cringe coming from the "flagship killer" that I once knew, this coming from a OnePlus 8 Pro owner that is writing this using that 3 year old phone and still loving it, but for the value, knowing it rivals an S22 or 23 Ultra for about half their price was the reason I mafe my purchase, was hoping for a promising foldable from them but it's already showing it's too risky for too much, maybe next year 🥺
I'm only aware of the MKHD video where he has some dead pixels. Where are the other reports coming from?
