OnePlus Open 8 Months Later! In this video, we break down the OnePlus Open in detail to help you understand the full picture of the OnePlus Open now that it has been on the market for 8 months! Enjoy the video :)
honestly one of the best foldables out there id rather take this over the fold 5. one plus especially with the 12 and open have really been going to town. quick note you put sd 888 in the descrip[tion
im thinking about getting the open. but im not sure if its worth it? why do you prefer the open over the normal oneplus 12? I thought it would be nicer to watch ytb and stuff but as he said in the video its not really bigger. i would really appreciate if you could help me decide haha
I kinda struggle with people on the outside screen thing. I guess there is a market for it, but the compact nature of the Z Fold is just nice. I can easily one hand everything on the cover screen of the Zfold and when I need more, it almost invites me to open the phone. If I'm finding myself constantly wanting to use the cover screen, just kinda seems like a convience thing rather than a planned out experience. Why would I not want to use the inner screen more? Also, the more boxy Inner display is more comfortable to use, in my opinion. When you widen the cover screen, you inherently widen the inner screen, and it just doesn't feel right. That's just my perspective that I'd like to share because I feel a lot of people band wagon on this approach of a normal wide screen on the cover screen without thinking about the experience that was probably planned out. Also, Samsungs software and ecosystem just can't be replicated with One Plus and Pixel. Too much time and effort has been put into the galaxy ecosystem to be simply cast out by other brands so easily. Personally, Xiaomi and Vivo aren't even on my radar. Very compelling products but one, they are not sold in the US and two, there are some concerns with their data and privacy. Even if they were squeaky clean, i have no way of knowing that and coming from a country that dont have the best terms with the US, if I can, I will put my money somewhere else.
@@morenickackerman what does that even mean "daily driver foldable"? When I say daily driver, I mean for most people, your primary every day phone, your only phone. Definitely a shortcoming of a tech reviewer because you're also testing and reviewing many other phones as evidenced by your videos. I personally just think tech reviewers can't give a true example of what a person buying the phone would experience over the long haul.
Had mine since release. Got the free bud pros 2 as well with it because I pre ordered. Both have held up fantastic and love it as much if not more than day one haha!
I have seen complaints about dead pixels on the first usage and problems of connectivity with the wifi signal. I'd like to have that phone but in Europe there's no "trade-in" offer and the price never goes below 1600€ when there's a deal. And even then it's only if you can prove you're a student, Europe is really not getting any gifts. If I take the Oneplus 2 next year, which warranty pack would you advice me to take? I'm only scared of the screen problems related to dead pixels or crease.
I want to love this phone but mine got the green screen of doom just 5 months in on the inside and 1+ has been sitting on it for over a month only recently claiming they are out of repair parts. That does not bode well for the longevity. I also love inking and it is just impossible to get the stylus without paying a small fortune for it. So, pretty bummed out on this one.
This phone looks like a real winner, but until they can create a seamless repair strategy it’s a no-go for me. Wireless charging and an improved Ingress Protection rating would also go along ways towards installing confidence in the foldables space.
This is just my own opinion, Samsung has the best software, Honor has the best hardware, OnePlus/Oppo has the most balanced between both software and hardware.
I just ordered one to replace my Z Fold 5, because that new price is just too good. I'm looking forward to the bigger cover screen, and finally having some better cameras.
I feel like the bars would be more on the video's end than it is on the phone. You also see it with shorts on PC as well, they just give you an enlarged upright phone window to look it at instead of the whole screen because changing the aspect ratio without support for it is just going to make things look very weird.
Once vivo and xiaomi come to the global market and start partnering with US carriers like huawei used to samsung is going to be in a world of trouble. The fold from samsung is pretty much the exact same from the first one. They can't keep putting out the same phone, raising the price and expect people to keep buying it
@morenickackerman I know that's the only thing I hate about the fold 5 and that's the reason why I didn't get it its irritating but you would be surprised how many people love that ting front screen for one handed use
@marcanthony2483 also emulation with ecosystem Samsung TV. I play MARIO 3D WORLD on my samsung TV wirelessly and use my s23 ultra as a controller and my tab s8n
It comes with one pre installed mine did and I don't plan on removing It I believe the manual or when you start up the phone says the warranty will be voided if you do
My OnePlus open internal screen failed after only 3 months of use 💔. OnePlus replaced it, and I'm waiting to try it after the screen replacement. But I'm disappointed that the screen failed after such a short time, even though I'm very careful with it. #OnePlus #ScreenFail #Disappointed
I got one at launch, saw screen failures on Reddit and sold it. Got 15 Pro Max. Currently considering selling my Pixel 8 Pro and OnePlus 12 to get another Open. I really miss it.
Have you heard or seen the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro? You should compare with the Oneplus Open. Both are neck and neck and great devices. I think either one is a win win!
Let's not lie lol. The open is a great phone but it isn't ahead in spec (newest fold has the newest processor) and the design is subjective (the square design of the fold 6 looks better imo).
Most manufacturers that aren't already big in USA or USA based aren't. You can look up the bands supported at opengsm I think and compare to the phone and carrier. USA gets fucked on phones. Samsung and Apple have a nearly impenetrable duopoly.
Yesterday I downloaded the software update on my oneplus open and now it keeps freezing over any app I open to open 1 app it takes about 3-4 minutes and even the back and home button makes the phone freeze . I can only access the notification drawer and then settings fromm there any recommendation would be appreciated. I have tried restarting the phone but it does not work
I second the galaxy 6. Just switched from a fold 4 to the Open with the watch 6 and works great. Even sideloaded the blood pressure app and it works great.
So tell me you had the phone for 8 months. 1 how many times have you dropped the phone? 2. Did you think getting the 2-year over $329+ warranty worth getting ? I have a Hauwei Mate 20x with a 7.2 in screen with a good case no warranty ever. I have dropped it numerous times screen has no cracks. (Knock on wood)
Same here, I have a case with a protection on the hinge mounted on spring. Dropped on concrete several times in the last 10month, it looks like day one...
Can I suggest you use this channel for cheap phones most people can afford like the tecno, infinix and all those pocket friendly smartphones. And leave the tech giants to your main account.

Please could you Gimme one phone pls am using my mom's phone

Fast Charge is literally the best part of the OnePlus open for me.
It's the best size of OnePlus in general imo

@@Babolatplayer If you work with documents or are in school, get the Fold. It's a productively beast. If you're not, go with a slab phone.
I've had mine since launch also with no problems whatsoever. I just Love it.😊

Really not a fan of these "8 months later" videos when you don't daily drive the phone. Doesn't flesh out durability issues.
This is my daily driver foldable phone. I don't have durability issues because I baby this phone.
@@morenickackerman what does that even mean "daily driver foldable"?

Youre right but you still watched 😮@@Shanecorbin68x
@@dhruvkhetrapal4279 I didn't actually though. Was going to but then I looked at older videos titles and knew this wasn't going to be a useful review.
I've been daily driving mine since the beginning. Funny have it in a case. I do have a skin on it. Not a single issue.
Had mine since release. Got the free bud pros 2 as well with it because I pre ordered. Both have held up fantastic and love it as much if not more than day one haha!
How has it held up?? Really thinking about getting mine very soon
@@374jr It's held up flawlessly other than the original case that comes with it! Go get it and enjoy 😀 👍

£300 off this week in the uk, maybe check again?
watching this on my OnePlus Open and still ny favorite phone in every way!
W. Waiting for s23 fe, pixel 8, Huawei pura 70 ultra, honor magic 6 pro, Xiaomi 14/ultra and z flip / z fold 5 and nothing phone 1vs2a speedtests. ❤
I want to love this phone but mine got the green screen of doom just 5 months in on the inside and 1+ has been sitting on it for over a month only recently claiming they are out of repair parts. That does not bode well for the longevity. I also love inking and it is just impossible to get the stylus without paying a small fortune for it.
So, pretty bummed out on this one.
What carrier do you use? I have Verizon in the US. Want to make sure it will work.
Same. Yes. It works wonderfully.
This phone looks like a real winner, but until they can create a seamless repair strategy it’s a no-go for me.
Wireless charging and an improved Ingress Protection rating would also go along ways towards installing confidence in the foldables space.
This is just my own opinion, Samsung has the best software, Honor has the best hardware, OnePlus/Oppo has the most balanced between both software and hardware.
Currently vivo has the best fold phone hardwares & yeah i agree with your statement about oneplus/oppo
Vivo is too expensive tho @@modestman6753
@@modestman6753who cares vivo has to be imported and has no warranty because of this oneplus has the best hardware
Oneplus software high smooth 🤗
Hey Nick!!! Would love a Onplus 12 long term review. 😇❤️🙏🏼
Yeah
I just ordered one to replace my Z Fold 5, because that new price is just too good. I'm looking forward to the bigger cover screen, and finally having some better cameras.
One month with mine and so far so good rocking the case that comes with it i been looking at hinge protection cases
Test the last vivo x fold3 pro. The neglobal version is a must. Thank you 👍
This phone has been tempting for the longest time. I am probably going to wait until the OnePlus Open 2 comes out.
I went for this few days ago after 8 months of being on the fence. Best device I've ever held in my hands. 5/7
Open 2 will be released in Q1 2025😊
Yeah let's hope they put an in built pen as well

W. Waiting for s24 vs 15 comparison and speedtest mid 2024!
Just bought this compared to v2 this is just better
W. Waiting for s24 vs 14 pro or s24 plus vs 15 pro or 15 vs s24 mid 2024 speedtests and comparisons.

Don't mention this to the Samsung Knights
Did you mention the IR blaster?
I did not, but that is a nice add on to this product, the list of features on this phone is just so good.
I think the honor magic v2 might be a lighter foldable.
i love it that you have a scripture on the screen
Apparently they are gonna release an "apex edition" of this phone on August 7th so will you do a review of it when it releases?
The fold 6 and fold 7 will have way better software and stylus functionality support
But will they still have those narrow front screens
@morenickackerman I know that's the only thing I hate about the fold 5 and that's the reason why I didn't get it its irritating but you would be surprised how many people love that ting front screen for one handed use
S Pen and Dex are Samsung's saving grace.
@marcanthony2483 also emulation with ecosystem Samsung TV. I play MARIO 3D WORLD on my samsung TV wirelessly and use my s23 ultra as a controller and my tab s8n
This phone also has stylus functionality
Hello thanks for the review, Quick question do you need a screen protection for the inner screens ,?!
so there is no need imo. I just touch it gently and dont scratch it with my nails or something
It comes with one pre installed mine did and I don't plan on removing It I believe the manual or when you start up the phone says the warranty will be voided if you do
Mines at 53 days. No case and my front screen has some scratches.

The camera bump is in another way to hold the phone

I have been using it since 8 months...No issues till now and the phone has become smoother after the updates.. especially the animations
@@aashiqelemarat5031 Thanks man. I am glad to hear that!
Ordered one yesterday 🤟🏼
Mine I use it with no animation, very snappy
@@aashiqelemarat5031 well damnit. You made me buy another one 😂
New to channel love the content, would love to try this for my first android phone. Any phone give away on this by chance? Never owned a android
Have you heard or seen the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro? You should compare with the Oneplus Open. Both are neck and neck and great devices. I think either one is a win win!
No. Oneplus Open 8gen 2 is 1 year and 9 months old and too expensive. While Vivo X Pro 3 and Honor magic v3 are cheaper.
Even after the Z Fold 6 reveal, the Open is still ahead in spec and design
IP48 on the Z Fold 6 vs IPX4 on the Open though, other than that, OnePlus Open is superior imo
Let's not lie lol. The open is a great phone but it isn't ahead in spec (newest fold has the newest processor) and the design is subjective (the square design of the fold 6 looks better imo).
Does it work on verizon?
Most manufacturers that aren't already big in USA or USA based aren't. You can look up the bands supported at opengsm I think and compare to the phone and carrier.
USA gets fucked on phones. Samsung and Apple have a nearly impenetrable duopoly.
I love my OnePlus open after 10 months I stillI can't find a nice case 😔
Amazon?
@@ChrolloMcgee21 which one? i bought 4 or 5 and i don't like any
I like the Samsung front screen better. More easy on one hand. For big screen stuff you open it anyway
Can't OnePlus introduce AI features as part of its updates for this phone???
Hey hey hey!
Still looking great 👍🏻
Hell Yeah im getting this great review . Thx
Honor Magic V2 still rules the foldables
it's beautiful
Foldable phones are like tablets made much more portable
Yesterday I downloaded the software update on my oneplus open and now it keeps freezing over any app I open to open 1 app it takes about 3-4 minutes and even the back and home button makes the phone freeze .
I can only access the notification drawer and then settings fromm there any recommendation would be appreciated.
I have tried restarting the phone but it does not work
.810 ? Op12 and every other device has problems with that update.
I recommend a factory reset
What would be a good smartwatch to pair with this because I do not like the OnePlus watch.
Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is what I have paired with this phone.
I second the galaxy 6. Just switched from a fold 4 to the Open with the watch 6 and works great. Even sideloaded the blood pressure app and it works great.
Do I see what I think I see in this video… 👀👌🤭
Still MUCH better than the zfold 6 😂
So tell me you had the phone for 8 months. 1 how many times have you dropped the phone? 2. Did you think getting the 2-year over $329+ warranty worth getting ?

Same here, I have a case with a protection on the hinge mounted on spring. Dropped on concrete several times in the last 10month, it looks like day one...
And the Zfold 6 is still crappier than this phone wow.
Please compare this with new zfold 6😊
Yes One plus open is my deal until... a wide screen from samsung has finally become presented
Waiting to see the pixel fold 2
💯
Good foldable but still found the battery a bit crap
How so? I find it lasts a day pretty comfortably
Oppo find n3 is same its easy for oneplus and color os still call it oxygen os 😂
Another reviewer that pretends Chinese foldables don't exist.
Nick, did you know that most of AI isnt coming to European Union this year? 😂😂
But no wireless charging so pass
I'd take (very) fast charging over wireless any day of the week. Besides the charger came in the box unlike stupid Samsung phones
