Open Canvas is by far the best implementation of multitasking yet. It's far more intuitive and is much suited for foldables and touch screen than even iPad OS. I hope this can be implemented in their tablets too cause it just make sense.
as interesting as it looks to me, as a fold user, I don't love that there isn't 'also' an option to have 3 apps all on screen at once without shifting. I would love this option, but I do personally need 3 concurrently available at least once a week for some tasks. Would be willing to give it a try tho
I'd like to see this "OPEN CANVAS" come to tablets as well. It's such a smart approach, that may not be 100% there right now, but I just can't see how this isn't the thing everyone else apes for their next foldable updates and devices.
It reminds me of the way you can swipe between desktops in OSX and Gnome-linux. If they added that ability to foldables, that would be incredibly powerful
Me too. I remember seeing concept videos in 2009 from UI design firms about having multiple programs of various widths, side by side in a long ribbon you could move between. It's taken a while but we're hopefully finally approaching it becoming a mature UX paradigm. As Milk says some multiple-desktop implementations have had a similar feel for a while, but that kinda forces you to do everything in full-screen apps or manually tile your windows. I do think floating windows is not the best approach on a touch screen, but the fact this supports multiple widths is huge imo. Not every app needs to be full screen. But a single width for a column mode doesn't always work either. Having as many side by side as can work depending on the app is an obvious step. And getting it working without a bunch of setup before-hand is key.
I hope this starts a price war among the manufacturers and we can start seeing foldable reach the 1,200 dollar price range within the next couple of years. Or even hopefully sub 1,000 dollar versions. I mean we're already seeing it with Motorola razor 2023.
As much as I love viewing the opinions of other tech tubers, I consider MrMobile is THE authoritative figure when it comes to foldables. His evangelism of the platform gave me the confidence of getting my own foldable, the Fold 5. I have never been happier with a phone, and I will find it hard to move back to the old candy bar design.
Man, this might be the first android phone to pull me away from Samsung. I've been a fold user since the fold 2 but am about 85% sure I'm going to trade it in for a preorder of the Open. The regular sized front screen is enough for me, but the lightweight, brighter screen, faster charging (I don't use wireless charging much) and larger inner screen. Some of the foldable software looks really cool, too. Great vid.
I agree. I've had the Fold 2, Fold 3 and Fold 4. Have skipped the 5 and traded in for an S22 Ultra because all my Fold screens broke. I have been waiting for someone else to come along (with EU/UK availability) with a foldable phone with a proper front screen, decent multitasking and at least passable software. My OnePlus Open is ordered and I'm finally leaving Samsung.
@@BakrAli10 unfortunately not user error, I treat my phones extremely well. The first two developed small cracks down the fold. First it was just the screen protector, but after I removed it, on the screen itself. My wife had the same with her Flip 3. The third one failed completely down the fold - black fluid down the middle, also physical damage internally that could be felt under the display. 100% not my fault, spontaneous catastrophic failure. All replaced under warranty. And every time Samsung would send it away for a week or more, and wipe everything. Incredibly frustrating. I love foldables but moved back to a slab for this reason. Highly unreliable. I don't know if the OP will be better, but I'm prepared to try it because the outer screen is so much better than the Fold. But this time I'll keep my S22 Ultra as a backup in case it breaks. OPs repair process won't be any quicker from what I've read.
@@adskee69 sorry for your experience. Have ZF3 since its release and no issue at all. The only thing I had to do is replace the internal screen protector once as it was peeling off which is $20. Even none of my folks rocking F3 o F4 have any issues.
I just got my z fold 5 last month. I'm really bummed I missed the one plus fold by so little time, but my last phone was totally broken and i didn't have a choice but to replace it right away. I will be looking to switch off Samsung for the wider outer screen maybe by next year though!

Thank you for taking your time, not just to be accurate in your review, but for such a great production of your reviews. You've become my go to authority on foldables and continue to put out fun and accurate information
I'm due for an upgrade on my Flip4, which is now damaged unfortunately. (Manufacturers issue I'm trying to get fixed.) I still have no idea what to choose. But your videos helped me decide on the Flip4 a year ago, because of how concise and informative they are. I'm planning on getting some hands-on time with my considerations, but I am 50/50 on a flips or folds at the moment. Both have pros and cons. After my Flip4 though there's no way I can go back to a regular phone. Foldables are the future and I love them.
Great review as usual. One additional observation about the lack of wireless charging. When I sold my Oppo Find N2, I was pissed that Swappa knocked my phone out of the pristine category simply because the usb c port showed normal use micro scratches. A small detail, but one that could cost you a few hundred bucks if you resale after a year or so like I do.
I can see it being common to only wirelessly charge for the resale value in the future. Which is an ironic price incentive, since the extra heat from wireless charging definitely stresses the battery and circuitry more than a few tiny scuffs around a charge port. But as you say, it's all about the cosmetics.
On the photo at 10:19 inside the restaurant, there is a MASSIVE image quality improvement of the OnePlus over the other two phones when you look at the ceiling's suspended lamps and the way the highlights were perfectly recovered, and are not blown out unlike the other two phones. Also, the natural bokeh is much better and the overall image much more film like without over contrast or sharpening.
As a person who had the first generation find n until a few weeks ago, I'm incredibly excited for this device. It was difficult to get a hold of the find n, but I absolutely loved it and only ended up getting rid of it because my routine changed in a way that made the China specific software quirks annoying to deal with. To see that the design of the device is gorgeous, the cameras work just as well as I loved on my find n, and all of my favorite parts about the software are carried over, but with the more annoying parts removed, I am absolutely going to save up for it. It's literally the perfect device for me, even in hardware since I don't really care about wireless charging (I don't know why but even on devices I have that supported. I prefer to use wired charging). An additional note, I used it that entire time as a heavy user, and a rhythm gamer who is hard on my devices' screens, with no case on the device, and the only damage to it was some scratches on the back that were fairly deep because I used the phone in a ceramics class and ended up scratching the back glass with fired ceramic by accident. The hinge is no joke, holds its own really well and prevents the inner screen cracking since it's a tear drop, not a crease.
This was the video I’d been waiting for. The king of the foldable phone world. Did not disappoint, looking forward to seeing what it’s like to live with compared to the Fold
Man Michael, you hit the spot every time. My Tony Stark under the phone reviewers. Your style, opinion, so honest. Love the quality! Keep it up and keep taking your time for your reviews.
Good job as always Michael. I pulled the trigger on the One plus Open and got $270 off as well as an additional $60 off in deals. i got their tablet for $347 along with the free buds and 100 watt charger all for $2030. Not a bad deal. I have to wait until the 27th, but that works. I look forward to it. Keep up the great work.
@@GrupoSentenciadeWKGN, It should work with, at least, T Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon. I don't know about the others, but I would be surprised if it didn't work with Mint and some of the other smaller MVNOs as well. T Mobile for sure though as that is what I have.
Still the best phone reviewer on youtube. Covers ALL the aspects while the others only talk about the design and the cameras. Thank you, for being awesome, Mr. Fisher !
This is definitely my all-around favorite foldable as of right now. I got the OnePlus tablet and I'm enjoying the crap out of this thing. I'd much prefer to use it over my Galaxy tab S8 Pro and really enjoy how you do the split screen I just sliding your two fingers down the middle
I used to not think much about wireless charging, but now that a lot of cars support it, I think it is a should or must have. Jumping in your car and plopping your phone down when you are in a hurry is just too convenient
I really dont care about wireless charging. I got my dad a 14 pro max and showed him wireless charging. He seemed impressed for a few minutes, then just plugged in the wire. Its not a deal breaker for most people.
Bro This is how a review from tech should be. Fun, light hearted but to the point. Im from Hampton Roads. Proud of you bro!! Ever in the area. Let me know im a film maker. Thanks!
I really like Samsung multitasking already but this implementation looks amazing. It does look like it requires some getting used to but makes me like it even more.
Anything new that you've never tried before requires getting used to. That's how you learn and build muscle memory. Therefore, that's a weak argument for anyone hesitating to buy the OnePlus Open just because of it having additional OPTIONAL multitasking features.
Рік тому+2
As a Fold 5 user, I want that multitasking canvas. And not just for my phone. I want it for my iPad and PC. How come no one has done this before? It looks so good and intuitive.
The problem with the trade in is it takes away your backup plan for if and when the foldable breaks. It feels like trading in your water bottle for a single use pop can. Sure the pop is more exciting, but water is safe
Yes, I am like you. I keep my old phone as a backup that I stick a data card in and use for satnav and music. If I have a breakage, like when I broke my Pixel 7 Pro display, then I have a secondary device to jump to.
I'm in the tech minority but I have a really old phone that doesn't work that I'm trading in for the $200, then I'm selling my current phone (P7) on eBay, and I still have my P2 in case anything goes wrong. So if you have 3 old phones this works well in your favor ;)
Michael, I bought the OPPO find N 2 based on your review and just pre ordered the Oneplus open for my wife's birthday. Thank you for the awesome videos!
I do not see why people like wireless charging, the benefits of wireless are usually due to not being tethered. Don't wanna plug in a laptop to Ethernet and stay close to a wall? Well wifi let's you go anywhere in the house and still have a connection. Couch a little farther away from your GameCube? Get a wavebird controller and sit back in comfort. Wireless charging however makes your phone have to sit in one place for the whole night and I'm pretty sure all of you reading this likes to use their phone in the middle of the night. When my phone is plugged in, I can open it up, use it, and just toss it to the side of my bed. Wired charging actually means you're less tethered to one spot
Time 3:41. What is this colourful line ? Does it show battery % on AoD ? Can we get this App ? Please Name or Share Link Time 8:12. Whats the name of this AirPlane Wallpaper please share
Not a good sign that review units' screens are already breaking. The early adoption risks have always been there. Ver 2.0 of this device will have my interest if Fold 6 doesn't have a built in S Pen silo. Thank you One+ for the added competition.
Have been busy building this review for several days straight, so haven't seen other coverage. Shame to hear about that. Just MKBHD though so far, right?
You realize this is every folding phone? The Fold V had the same issues and every Samsung fold has had blackening down the middle. Half of the people I sold them too at my last job always came to do an early upgrade or to do a warranty claim. Heck had a customer whose screen that blackened after 1 week after getting it and Samsung told them to get lost. Felt bad for the guy for an $1,800 dead weight.
This has happened on a much larger scale for the Galaxy Folds and is a major issue. I saw that one reviewer had two Galaxy Folds and both had to be returned. There will be issues as foldable are still risky.
@@TheMrMobilefingers crossed that MKBHD'S screen issue was an outlier defect unit! I'm really hopeful on the open as it's the first phone that has excited me from one plus in over 4 years since the 7 pro.
I pulled the trigger on one but very skeptical it can replace my 1tb fold 5. Other than the outer screen im not overly hopeful lol. Was waiting for your video to drop since you are the formost expert of all things foldable!
I've got to ask....how's "Wireless Charging" actually "wireless"?? Your phone needs to be on the platform for it to charge..at this point, it sounds like the only benefit that it serves is that you don't have to through the horrid experience of having plug in your phones. Fast charging is in fact more important than "wireless " charging....
Great review! I like the outside look of the open. That crease on foldables still drives me crazy. I know that is just a given for foldables, but if I'm paying almost $2K for a phone I don't want a ravine running through the screen. This is even weirder because I loved the surface Duo series. The two separate screens didn't bother me, but a single screen with a crease does. I know it doesn't make sense.
I have a OnePlus 7pro since 1'st week was launched in shops. I have absolutely ZERO reasons to upgrade...... Is still a rocket! And value for money is unbeatable..... 😂😂😂💪
I love this channel. Found it yesterday while doom scrolling flip 6 videos, since i got one a few weeks ago and really like it. Keep doing what you're amazing at, i enjoy it very much!
2:45 For those who are unfamiliar with what the IP ratings mean, IPX4 means that a device is certified to withstand splashes and sprays of water but not submersion, i.e., feel free to use it in the rain. IPX8 means that a device can withstand being submerged in at least up to 3 meters of water for at least 30 minutes, i.e., should be okay if you drop it in the pool. Everyone has their own risk tolerance for a $2,000 device I suppose.
This channel is the most professional and most well done ive seen and ive watched everyone. Youre my go to for mobile phones especially my beloved motorola.
The review I have been waiting for as you are a foldable user. This is the OnePlus device I've been waiting for. The camera is impressive in your review and you covered all the key points. Aftercare support and service like you said is the only issue for me especially with a foldable. Samsung has got this part right with experience centres which do repairs in-house and sometimes on the same day. If OnePlus has a good system fir this then I'll consider it for my next upgrade. I just hope they bring the black colour to the UK soon.
The bath clip at 2:45 really was the best at what Mr. Mobile does.. I’m sure he looked at every angle, every element of that wash.. and the background music throughout the video got me dancing a bit.. totally made me forget what phone he was reviewing 😅
I can never get over how apparent the effort is in these videos. If television was cool, this would be high enough quality to have its own consumer reports segment
An underrated thing about MrMobile's videos is his audio quality and sound production. Other big Tech reviewers don't seem to edit their audio or care about headphone/earphone users lol, the S sounds and plosives are often really bad. But MrMobile has clean and balanced audio 🙏🏿.
I do love the phone but I have S23U right now so I'm going to wait for gen2 for this fold for me to change. Shoutout to their trade in value at launch, it's one of the best I've seen.
The trade in value is what is enticing me to switch my s23 ultra to get this phone. The durability is my major concern though as I've never owned a foldable before.
This is the one tablet style foldable I would consider (besides the OPPO equivalent). I generally prefer the flip style phones but that multitasking interface is just so well thought out
when it comes to phones i always wait for your opinion. it always feels well formulated, unique, and not influenced by company payments. you do a great job!
correction: the oneplus open actually works wiith the oppo pen, for both outside and inner screen which is actually a step above the s-pen. unfortunately they dont market it or sell the pen through oneplus
The OnePlus Open is $1700 for 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. The Pixel Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 5 start at $1800 for 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. So not only is it $100 cheaper, it comes with more RAM and double the storage.
I gotta say that this MrMobile review of OnePlus' first foldable was a great one! Oh, and it's really nice to know that some of the other tech bloggers are featured in this awesome video review!
i still like samsungs size when closed but hoping they can intregrate the pen inside the fold, I don't mind a little bit of thickness if it houses the pen...also wished the pen works with the outside screen
I love watching your videos. Soothing, cinematic, story telling, looks like a movie intro… your reviews are incredible different and I love your style.. keep giving up your good content🎈❤️❤️❤️
I just switched from my trusty old Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (which had wireless charging) to a new $200 phone, which doesn't have it. It's annoying, but at this price point and the fact, that my new phone is tiny (3" screen), it's understandable. With a $1,500+ phone, I do pretty much expect wireless charging by now. Would that alone be a killer factor for me? I don't think so, but it is something to very much consider, when buying a new and expensive phone.
Good to get your review on it. Foldables are still too expensive for me to step into but it might happen someday and I'm glad you'll probably be reviewing every model that comes out :) Thanks!
I love the convenience of wireless charging but I have only started using it since the usb port on my note9 has become a little worn out. I do like the look of this Oneplus open but I do wonder about the parts availability, I'm still a wired headphone person so that usb will get worn out even quicker.
Really glad to see foldables getting better and better. Now, if only the price could keep dropping as well :P Awesome vid as always! My favourite reviewer
First off you have best video quality on YT! Secondly you are the most thorough reviewers I follow. Always a great job. I have iOS and was curious on your take to use android being I’m in the Apple ecosystem. I’m thinking about purchasing the OnePlus open but am reserved because I have so many Apple devices and hate to loose continuity especially with my new Apple ultra watch. It’s ashame Apple hasn’t released a foldable! I looking forward to your advice.
This phone looks amazing. I might even be tempted to upgrade to it and get my first fold. I also got a smile out of the “Jean-Luc Picard” call Easter egg. Cheers, Ian.
Love your reviews as always! One major question about the open I have is I am hesitant to buy one purely because it does not support MMwave 5g. You are the foldable expert, you've used the fold 5 and fold 4, which I currently have, is the lack of mmwave 5g a deal breaker for you? I absolutely love this phone but I feel like I would be missing reliable cell reception without the mmwave 5g bands. Thanks so much and have a wonderful day man!
Real talk: I hate mmWave. Every time I use a VZ phone, it wastes so much more of my time because it's constantly switching networks between VZ's high and low-band 5G. If I went to sporting arenas more often, or needed mmWave for some other reason, I'd add it to my list of priorities ... but honestly it's a non-factor for me. Thanks for watching!
@TheMrMobile I'm on T-Mobile so are you able to get 5G UC on the Open even though it doesn't have the bands supported? Sorry I wish I could pick your brain about so many things lol!
This phone is really compelling to me, i currently have a fold 3 and I'm getting to the point where I'm thinking about upgrading. However the fold 5 feels like too much of a sideways step and the pixel and oneplus options don't have a desktop mode. Which is essential to me as my phone is my only computing device.

This was the video I’d been waiting for. The king of the foldable phone world. Did not disappoint, looking forward to seeing what it’s like to live with compared to the Fold
I'm glad to say you're one of the top 3 phone reviewers I always look forward to watch.
Amazing content as always. 🔥
Many thanks!
Man Michael, you hit the spot every time. My Tony Stark under the phone reviewers. Your style, opinion, so honest.
Love the quality! Keep it up and keep taking your time for your reviews.

Good job as always Michael. I pulled the trigger on the One plus Open and got $270 off as well as an additional $60 off in deals. i got their tablet for $347 along with the free buds and 100 watt charger all for $2030. Not a bad deal. I have to wait until the 27th, but that works. I look forward to it. Keep up the great work.
What carriers will it work with? I live near Illinois/ Wisconsin wondering what carrier it will work with?
@@GrupoSentenciadeWKGN, It should work with, at least, T Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon. I don't know about the others, but I would be surprised if it didn't work with Mint and some of the other smaller MVNOs as well. T Mobile for sure though as that is what I have.
Still the best phone reviewer on youtube. Covers ALL the aspects while the others only talk about the design and the cameras. Thank you, for being awesome, Mr. Fisher !
This is definitely my all-around favorite foldable as of right now. I got the OnePlus tablet and I'm enjoying the crap out of this thing. I'd much prefer to use it over my Galaxy tab S8 Pro and really enjoy how you do the split screen I just sliding your two fingers down the middle
Love the hardware! The circular camera lens, the vibration slider, IR blaster, and the size. Perfect
Purchased. Managed the get it for $750 after trading in the Razr Plus.
Fantastic as always, Mr. Fisher!
I used to not think much about wireless charging, but now that a lot of cars support it, I think it is a should or must have. Jumping in your car and plopping your phone down when you are in a hurry is just too convenient
Or you can take the extra 5 seconds to plug in a cord 🤷♂️
Exactly.. I got 2 year old model this year and it has wireless charging pad and my current phone uses it nicely
I really dont care about wireless charging. I got my dad a 14 pro max and showed him wireless charging. He seemed impressed for a few minutes, then just plugged in the wire. Its not a deal breaker for most people.
I have the feeling they've tested it and found out the due to the camera bump most charging pads will have a problem charging it...

Bro
This is how a review from tech should be. Fun, light hearted but to the point.
Im from Hampton Roads. Proud of you bro!!
Ever in the area. Let me know im a film maker. Thanks!
I really like Samsung multitasking already but this implementation looks amazing. It does look like it requires some getting used to but makes me like it even more.
Anything new that you've never tried before requires getting used to. That's how you learn and build muscle memory.
Therefore, that's a weak argument for anyone hesitating to buy the OnePlus Open just because of it having additional OPTIONAL multitasking features.
As a Fold 5 user, I want that multitasking canvas. And not just for my phone. I want it for my iPad and PC. How come no one has done this before? It looks so good and intuitive.
Which wallpaper app is running in background?
I won't to know 2 :)
Best channel in the world for fold/flip phone reviews. PERIOD. Michael we love you!
The problem with the trade in is it takes away your backup plan for if and when the foldable breaks. It feels like trading in your water bottle for a single use pop can. Sure the pop is more exciting, but water is safe
Yes, I am like you. I keep my old phone as a backup that I stick a data card in and use for satnav and music. If I have a breakage, like when I broke my Pixel 7 Pro display, then I have a secondary device to jump to.
I'm in the tech minority but I have a really old phone that doesn't work that I'm trading in for the $200, then I'm selling my current phone (P7) on eBay, and I still have my P2 in case anything goes wrong.
So if you have 3 old phones this works well in your favor ;)
More and more people have a backup phone nowadays.
It's even smarter to have a backup phone if you're buying a foldable phone.
Michael, I bought the OPPO find N 2 based on your review and just pre ordered the Oneplus open for my wife's birthday. Thank you for the awesome videos!
This gadget will be Killer when 2nd gen comes out😮😮
2:29 Why does the screen look purple on 1+(inside screen)? But folding phone products from China are also like that
I do not see why people like wireless charging, the benefits of wireless are usually due to not being tethered. Don't wanna plug in a laptop to Ethernet and stay close to a wall? Well wifi let's you go anywhere in the house and still have a connection. Couch a little farther away from your GameCube? Get a wavebird controller and sit back in comfort. Wireless charging however makes your phone have to sit in one place for the whole night and I'm pretty sure all of you reading this likes to use their phone in the middle of the night. When my phone is plugged in, I can open it up, use it, and just toss it to the side of my bed. Wired charging actually means you're less tethered to one spot
Time 3:41. What is this colourful line ? Does it show battery % on AoD ?
Can we get this App ? Please Name or Share Link
Time 8:12. Whats the name of this AirPlane Wallpaper please share
Not a good sign that review units' screens are already breaking. The early adoption risks have always been there. Ver 2.0 of this device will have my interest if Fold 6 doesn't have a built in S Pen silo. Thank you One+ for the added competition.
Have been busy building this review for several days straight, so haven't seen other coverage. Shame to hear about that. Just MKBHD though so far, right?
You realize this is every folding phone? The Fold V had the same issues and every Samsung fold has had blackening down the middle. Half of the people I sold them too at my last job always came to do an early upgrade or to do a warranty claim. Heck had a customer whose screen that blackened after 1 week after getting it and Samsung told them to get lost. Felt bad for the guy for an $1,800 dead weight.
This has happened on a much larger scale for the Galaxy Folds and is a major issue. I saw that one reviewer had two Galaxy Folds and both had to be returned. There will be issues as foldable are still risky.
@@TheMrMobilefingers crossed that MKBHD'S screen issue was an outlier defect unit! I'm really hopeful on the open as it's the first phone that has excited me from one plus in over 4 years since the 7 pro.
I pulled the trigger on one but very skeptical it can replace my 1tb fold 5. Other than the outer screen im not overly hopeful lol. Was waiting for your video to drop since you are the formost expert of all things foldable!
I've got to ask....how's "Wireless Charging" actually "wireless"?? Your phone needs to be on the platform for it to charge..at this point, it sounds like the only benefit that it serves is that you don't have to through the horrid experience of having plug in your phones. Fast charging is in fact more important than "wireless " charging....
Your foldable reviews are the best!
Im watching on my OnePlus open😊
How to get that live wallpaper? I m using also open.😊
6:42 THEY STILL HAVENT FIXED THE BATTERY CONSUMTION ALTERT?!
Great review! I like the outside look of the open. That crease on foldables still drives me crazy. I know that is just a given for foldables, but if I'm paying almost $2K for a phone I don't want a ravine running through the screen. This is even weirder because I loved the surface Duo series. The two separate screens didn't bother me, but a single screen with a crease does. I know it doesn't make sense.
It makes perfect sense. I saw the crease in every shot angle. No thank you.
Gotta say I kind love how skinny the Samsung fold makes it a lot easier to use and type one handed
I have a OnePlus 7pro since 1'st week was launched in shops. I have absolutely ZERO reasons to upgrade......
Is still a rocket! And value for money is unbeatable..... 😂😂😂💪
Never been a more easier choice, new Mr mobile video or...nah no other choice I'm already here. These videos are just pure ART
I love this channel. Found it yesterday while doom scrolling flip 6 videos, since i got one a few weeks ago and really like it. Keep doing what you're amazing at, i enjoy it very much!
15:05 The different devices on the desk including the tablet/screen. Is there a list of links where we can buy them?
2:45 For those who are unfamiliar with what the IP ratings mean, IPX4 means that a device is certified to withstand splashes and sprays of water but not submersion, i.e., feel free to use it in the rain. IPX8 means that a device can withstand being submerged in at least up to 3 meters of water for at least 30 minutes, i.e., should be okay if you drop it in the pool. Everyone has their own risk tolerance for a $2,000 device I suppose.
Michael, you're my favorite tech UA-camr. Your videos are so informative and helpful while also being creative and funny. Thanks for all you do!
I've used the floating canvas for a few months now. its sound cool but in practice, its not that different to your basic app switching.
This channel is the most professional and most well done ive seen and ive watched everyone. Youre my go to for mobile phones especially my beloved motorola.
Thanks for mentioning call reception. Barely any reviewers ever mention that in their reviews for pretty much an essential feature of any phone.
The review I have been waiting for as you are a foldable user. This is the OnePlus device I've been waiting for. The camera is impressive in your review and you covered all the key points. Aftercare support and service like you said is the only issue for me especially with a foldable. Samsung has got this part right with experience centres which do repairs in-house and sometimes on the same day. If OnePlus has a good system fir this then I'll consider it for my next upgrade. I just hope they bring the black colour to the UK soon.
Is the screen for the phone being tested at 15:30 half dead? Sure looks like it
The bath clip at 2:45 really was the best at what Mr. Mobile does.. I’m sure he looked at every angle, every element of that wash.. and the background music throughout the video got me dancing a bit.. totally made me forget what phone he was reviewing 😅
Your productions are simply out of the world. Pleasure to watch
Love the detailed impartial analysis that doesn't feel overwhelming.
The ONLY reviewer I’ve been waiting for to put up this phone for review
Legit one of the best places for UA-cam tech reviews.
Love the anchorman reference at 0:58! 😂😂 Another awesome review!
I can never get over how apparent the effort is in these videos. If television was cool, this would be high enough quality to have its own consumer reports segment
Man what a review , great as always but where is pixel 8 review waiting for that one
The phone so awesome, it is probably the only one with sponsor at the end. Well done, 1+
Nicely done! I love all the photos! Especially of all the tech guys and family..
Michael speaking to Jean-Luc Picard like that!!? LOL love the fandom cameos!
Where can i find the wallpapers from the oneplus open of this video?
An underrated thing about MrMobile's videos is his audio quality and sound production. Other big Tech reviewers don't seem to edit their audio or care about headphone/earphone users lol, the S sounds and plosives are often really bad. But MrMobile has clean and balanced audio 🙏🏿.
I do love the phone but I have S23U right now so I'm going to wait for gen2 for this fold for me to change. Shoutout to their trade in value at launch, it's one of the best I've seen.
The trade in value is what is enticing me to switch my s23 ultra to get this phone. The durability is my major concern though as I've never owned a foldable before.
@15:00 you hangin out with David from WVFRM?
This is the one tablet style foldable I would consider (besides the OPPO equivalent). I generally prefer the flip style phones but that multitasking interface is just so well thought out
when it comes to phones i always wait for your opinion. it always feels well formulated, unique, and not influenced by company payments.
you do a great job!
correction: the oneplus open actually works wiith the oppo pen, for both outside and inner screen which is actually a step above the s-pen. unfortunately they dont market it or sell the pen through oneplus
The OnePlus Open is $1700 for 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. The Pixel Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 5 start at $1800 for 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. So not only is it $100 cheaper, it comes with more RAM and double the storage.
I gotta say that this MrMobile review of OnePlus' first foldable was a great one!
Oh, and it's really nice to know that some of the other tech bloggers are featured in this awesome video review!
All in all great, but 5:05 is it flickering (PWM)?
i still like samsungs size when closed but hoping they can intregrate the pen inside the fold, I don't mind a little bit of thickness if it houses the pen...also wished the pen works with the outside screen
This.
I love watching your videos. Soothing, cinematic, story telling, looks like a movie intro… your reviews are incredible different and I love your style.. keep giving up your good content🎈❤️❤️❤️
Are the door photos from 11:23 supposed to be a comparison? Because it says OnePlus on both 🤔
(RGB) wireless charger name or product link plz? 😀
I just switched from my trusty old Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (which had wireless charging) to a new $200 phone, which doesn't have it. It's annoying, but at this price point and the fact, that my new phone is tiny (3" screen), it's understandable. With a $1,500+ phone, I do pretty much expect wireless charging by now. Would that alone be a killer factor for me? I don't think so, but it is something to very much consider, when buying a new and expensive phone.
“I just _love_ classic twenty-third century design; black finish, silver highlights…”
Good to get your review on it. Foldables are still too expensive for me to step into but it might happen someday and I'm glad you'll probably be reviewing every model that comes out :)
Thanks!
This is the most perfect form factor on a fold-type foldable. The weight is great too
I love the convenience of wireless charging but I have only started using it since the usb port on my note9 has become a little worn out. I do like the look of this Oneplus open but I do wonder about the parts availability, I'm still a wired headphone person so that usb will get worn out even quicker.
Really glad to see foldables getting better and better. Now, if only the price could keep dropping as well :P
Awesome vid as always! My favourite reviewer
11:12 what kind of interior is that 😁
First off you have best video quality on YT! Secondly you are the most thorough reviewers I follow. Always a great job. I have iOS and was curious on your take to use android being I’m in the Apple ecosystem. I’m thinking about purchasing the OnePlus open but am reserved because I have so many Apple devices and hate to loose continuity especially with my new Apple ultra watch. It’s ashame Apple hasn’t released a foldable! I looking forward to your advice.
This phone looks amazing. I might even be tempted to upgrade to it and get my first fold. I also got a smile out of the “Jean-Luc Picard” call Easter egg. Cheers, Ian.
This is just awesome, thanks for such an amazing work Michael!
Yesss, the review of this phone I've been waiting for. Mr. Mobile the authority on foldables!
In zfold, opening two apps side by side are usually more comfortable in landscape. In pixel, it's better on portrait.
How is it in the open?
Hello, the "Save apps group" function often fails. Is this discovered by testing in drawer mode?
How does it do with switching to multiple different apps after a while? Oxygen OS can be a little aggresive with resource management.
Love your reviews as always! One major question about the open I have is I am hesitant to buy one purely because it does not support MMwave 5g. You are the foldable expert, you've used the fold 5 and fold 4, which I currently have, is the lack of mmwave 5g a deal breaker for you? I absolutely love this phone but I feel like I would be missing reliable cell reception without the mmwave 5g bands. Thanks so much and have a wonderful day man!
Real talk: I hate mmWave. Every time I use a VZ phone, it wastes so much more of my time because it's constantly switching networks between VZ's high and low-band 5G. If I went to sporting arenas more often, or needed mmWave for some other reason, I'd add it to my list of priorities ... but honestly it's a non-factor for me. Thanks for watching!
@TheMrMobile I'm on T-Mobile so are you able to get 5G UC on the Open even though it doesn't have the bands supported? Sorry I wish I could pick your brain about so many things lol!
This phone is really compelling to me, i currently have a fold 3 and I'm getting to the point where I'm thinking about upgrading. However the fold 5 feels like too much of a sideways step and the pixel and oneplus options don't have a desktop mode. Which is essential to me as my phone is my only computing device.
