I switched from the Fold 5 to the Oneplus last year and it has been a mixed bag. For one the supposedly so much brighter screen on the Oneplus on paper really wasn't that much brighter at all. The haptic feedback feels cheap on the OP. And then there are software bugs. Adaptive screen brightness never holds my setting it always goes way to dim. UA-cam has bugs with screen zoom. My cover picture dissappears regularly to name a few. Software is King. That is why I am switching back to the Fold 6.
I feel the same way. I switched to the Open and it's just buggy. I can't even watch UA-cam in minimized view. It just disappears into the background. Hardware is cool but software is king for me.
Durability and repairability is a massive factor. On Twitter I'm seeing several people who have been getting broken OnePlus Opens and OnePlus had a wait time of months for repairs. Samsung actually has repair options in the states. And this new phone should be even more durable.
To be fair, you can find anecdotes about broken Z Folds and horrible Samsung repair service as well. We don't have proper statistics but based on polls, the Open appears to be more reliable than at least the ZFold 5.
@@Ronnethad some dust behind the screen on my zf5, took less than a week to fix for Samsung (I sent the phone). They replaced almost all the exterior elements, my phone was brand new
Wrong it depends on what warranty you purchased. Mine has where you can just exchange the device. Also i never had to. With every Samsung fold i had to send it to get it repaired 2x even.
@Ronnet in my experience, owning the last 3 fold phones that came out, the inner screen is indestructible, you dont even have to worry about it breaking, it wont happen. However, the screen protector lasts about a year or less before bubbling up in the center, and you can replace it for free because samsung has a one year warranty on it, (trust me, it won't last the full year)
@@Megatholisincorrect lol. Me and my family members have got the zf4 since pre order and never no bubbles lol. I've literally dropped my phone a million times and nothings happened to it.
I chose the OnePlus Open due to its multitasking features! I think they are unbeatable. I use editing apps, and they take too much time to export, so I love playing Genshin Impact while they are exporting! I also love the camera; it captures my skin beautifully!But, I love the colors the zf 6 comes in and its latest boxy design! I had a Samsung Note 10 before, and I love the customization options Samsung offers!
There is a video on UA-cam that shows one plus open vs fold 5. In the video the opo was definitely outshine by fold 5. The open plus open 3 full size apps is just like apps running in the background of the fold. You could only have one pop-up window open on top of the 3 apps while the fold you can literally open every app in you folder in pop-up on top of the 3 acti e apps on the screen. Please tell me how the multi-tasking is so much better. Isn't hitting recent apps button and going back to previous open app the same as the one open toggle?? I am looking at the one plus open hard but besides front screen ratio I can't see the benefit. And I actually prefer to be able to use front screen one handed
@@TheCheiftallest420 Yes, the OnePlus Open can only open one app as a pop-up while the Samsung Fold can open many. However, I use it to play games while large files are being exported. On the Fold, I can't even open games in split view, and if they do open in split view, they are tiny and not full screen. The OnePlus Open has a sidebar. If you open an app from that sidebar, it automatically opens in a pop-up view. This means I don't have to go to the recent apps; I can just switch between apps using the sidebar. For example, while playing a game, I can open the calculator in pop-up view. If I then open WhatsApp, it will replace the calculator in the pop-up. But again, from the sidebar, I can open the calculator and it will be exactly as I left it. So, even though it may not be as convenient as Samsung's setup, I can still open pop-ups without going to the recent apps, and on top of three full-screen apps! That's why I consider it the best for multitasking. But, to each their own.

The 512gb Open starts at $1700 full price and with the $200 trade in offer it’s $1500. The 512gb Fold 6 starts at $2020 full price and I was able to trade my iPhone 11 Pro Max for $750. With no other promotion or sale, the cost of the 512gb Fold 6 is $1270 after trading in a 5 year old phone (granted I paid much less with other discounts and promotions but you understand my point). Wouldn’t that be considered a better steal? Especially when you’re talking about a device being nearly a year old compared to a brand new one.
@steved8563 That's actually very close to what I paid even tho the Fold 6 starts at a much higher price and with trading in a 5 year old phone, not quite the same as trading something barely a year old.
@@jollyrancherchick Not at all because the OnePlus Open is a bigger and better folding phone all around.... And you can actually use the front screen as a normal phone so it's a much better deal and investment overall.... I looked at the Z Fold 6 in person for the first time yesterday and compared it with my OnePlus Open and it's was still like comparing it to my other folds including the (2) Z Fold 5's that I had .....
@@Stillway2006I think One Plus is waiting another year. For work, I really like the One Plus Open. Game changer if you work a ton with PDFs and Microsoft Office.
I would be pissed if they got rid of the narrow cover screen for the 6. The One handability of the fold is second to NONE. If its that important to you, I agree that they should make a variant that DOES have a larger cover screen, but don't deprive me of the real reason I perfer my fold 3 over any regular phone
@@TheRealYeller second to none? It's unnecessarily thin while still being too tall. The Pixel Fold is a true one hand phone. Taking the dimensions of classics like the Galaxy S2, which were designed with one hand use in mind.
@@JoostN86 It does make me laugh that because the phone is narrow closed, people try to justify how it's the perfect form factor lmao. And yet you know if they made it wider, all those people WOULD love it.
Been rocking Oneplus Open since 8 months and trust me its far better than the samsung fold..I had fold 3 and 4 from samsung and i didnt use either of em for more than 3 months because of the narrow display,weight and thickness..Also the IR blaster on the OnePlus is something which i use alot
Got my hands on the new Z Fold 6 2days ago. It looks and feels fantastic! YOU HAVE TO FEEL & HOLD IT. The refinement is absolutely on point on every angle. The built feels so robust! Photos and videos won't do justice. You have to check it out! I upgraded from my current Z Flip 5. Excited to receive my preorder. 🔥
They are two different lanes that makers chose. Samsung (and it bugs me when people complain that they aren't innovating or taking risks) has made it clear that this is the form factor they chose. They're improving and making it better. But they want you to open it up and use it more than using the outer screen. They even call the open screen the main screen. They don't want you to open it only at times. OP made it where it's more reminiscent of a typical slab and to some that's what they prefer as it's more usable when closed. Then again, if you have a foldable, why use it mostly closed? Two camps here honestly and each side is "right." It's a matter of what you prefer.
TBH, I had 3 years of z fold 3, and I used the outer small screen like 90% of the time, I can't understand the complains, now I have the z fold 6, it feels better, both the outer screen and the inner crease, also looks more durable. I only use inner screen to play games, and watch media while I eat outside of my house
I've got the fold 4, but will be looking forward to the one plus 2. Hopefully it would improve even than the fold 6 for samsung to catch up on their fold 7.
It seems like a joke that Oneplus releases a mobile phone that is better in functionality and Samsung is already up to 6. The exterior screen is better than Oneplus without a doubt. I wanted to buy the Samsung, but I don't see that useful improvement. Despite being almost the same size, I think Oneplus knows how to do things and has proven it. Oneplus and Honor, both I think they are better foldable
opo is better in what way? better because it has no proper digitizer pen support, no water resistant, no wireless charging, no dex, no support, no udc. LOL
The OnePlus fold is just a rebranded oppo find n3 so it's not really their first gen fold but the third but the one plus open is nice but software id prefer the Samsung or pixel fold .
I strongly like the s pen, and wireless charging. I also like Samsung's multitasking interface, and prefer the underscreen camera vs the hole punch, even with the poor image quality. Those things beat out the other hardware advantages of the Open, for me.
The fact that you said your opinion rather than leave it to our guesses gets mad respect from me. I have been trying to figure out which of these two to get and this video gave me the final push to go for the oneplus open. Also, I read somewhere that oppo stylus pens work on both the front and inner displays of the 1+. Thanks a lot
I am sorry but unless the one plus open improved software it just can’t hold up to the fold. I could not take the fact that my widgets would keep shrinking. Also the hinge was not as great. That spring would snap open and it would also snap close when I tried to use it in flex mode which will eventually damage the phone. But overall it was a good phone until I sold it, the fast speed charging on the one plus was great though. The camera however was straight just okay on the oneplus open.
Question: It is said that maybe Samsung keeps the slimmer front screen because it's easier for one hand operation, I actually use one-hand operation (to be able to operate the whole phone one handed and just your thumb). What do you the think, as most tech reviewers are iPhone users and one-hand operation doesn't exist, nor did it ever exist.
I know what you mean, it's rare that I ever use any device one handed though. I think there's an easy solution, which is what my old phone (Honor Note 8) has. You just sweep across the three android buttons, and the whole screen shrinks by about 30%. Something which should be on all phones really, neat solution.
Glad to see a reviewer is honest about the camera. The 1+ has better hardware, but the image results don't show an advantage over the Z. The folds image processing tends to be better. The Z falls short on zoom and catching a clean images of moving objects.
I rocked with my Z Fold2 from when it released all the way until earlier this year, when I had saved up the money to upgrade to a new foldable, and that was around January and I had a choice to make, and I looked at the Fold5 and it didn't look all that different from my experience on the Fold2, and the one thing I REALLY wanted to change was the front display being far too narrow to the point where I typically just always unfolded the phone in order to use it. I actually wanted to try the HONOR Magic V2, but there wasn't an international version at the time, so I decided to go with the OnePlus Open because I had seen nothing but praise for it in reviews and most importantly: it had a 20:9 aspect ratio for the front display and people were reporting that it felt like using a standard smaller-form smartphone, and it absolutely does. Unlike the Z Fold, I actually use the hell out of my front display ALL the time now, especially when I only have one hand free. Finally seeing these videos where you see the Z Fold6 in-hand next to the Open, it doesn't look *that* much wider than the Fold5, which has the same dimensions as the 4, 3, and 2, so I feel pretty validated in my decision to just buy the Open and not see if it was worth waiting for the Fold6. I LOVE my OnePlus Open personally. I don't think I can ever go back to a non-foldable phone again lol
Bro $1100 trade in for my broke Note 3 definitely makes the fold 6 the best fold phone in this planet. Can't worry about specs and stats and on-paper stuff with this kind of deal lol
@@O.GfromHtown ATT trade in special pre-order offer for the Flip 6 and Fold 6. Any year, Any condition. Hope they don't screw me over though but on their trade in selection, where you input the condition of the phone, i selected every NO and still got $1100.
My whole beef is the MutiTasking feats the onePlus lacks.. The Samsung MT feature is AMAZING. I've used almost all the options in the MT feature with Fold..Especially the Starred Group feature. When I am doing Uber eats/DoorDash at the same timed adding you tube as the third app in the group..The floating app feature is no slouch either.. The open's Camera bump is too much for me...
Would argue Open has a more intuitive multitasking experience and it's not even close - 3 full size apps open at once and not having a tiny cramped space for each.
@yuria3411 people talk about Open Canvas but it's more task switching between 2-3 apps rather than truly having 3 apps visible. the animation looks nice but...no its not as good as One UI and that's ok
Hey Kevin awesome review on the two foldables, for me it's the OnePlus Open all day. I traded in my Samsung S23 Ultra for the OnePlus Open because I always had a foldable by Samsung but tried the S23 and I just couldn't stand it not having a foldable and I was so tired of the skinny Samsung Fold. So with my trade-in I was able to get the Oneplus Open for around $600 and I'm so glade I did. OnePlus to me is beautiful and I love the design. I'm so tired of the boring look of Samsung and Samsung really upset me by not doing a major upgrade and just added a bunch of AI crap. But honestly I cant wait for the Google Pixel Fold 2 I think even that foldable is going to be better that Samsung Galaxy Fold 6 and that's a damn shame because Samsung is on it's six Gen. And to just let you know you can not charge the new Ultra watch on reverse charging with the new Samsung Galaxy Fold 6. Thanks again Samsung.
Thanks for the comment. Yeah I found out after the video you can’t charge it using the phone. But you can other watches. The new watch charger is a bit diff too. Old one works but just does not work as good. Takes some wiggling to make it work.
@Wick3y I traded it on the Oneplus Website. At the time the Open was just $1399. They gave me $800 trade in value for it. I'm loving this Oneplus Open.
The Samsung claims that the cover screen is 6.3 inches wide while the OPO is 6.31 inches wide, is the z fold 6 just as wide as the OPO? Can you type comfortably on it?
Different aspect ratios. Focusing on just the width of the outer displays excluding bezel, the Open's is 65.7mm, the Fold 6 is 60mm, and an iphone 15 is 65mm. So if you have ever typed on a regular iphone, the one plus will feel like that.
I want the OPO but there service center is the worst. I see so many displays failing and so many people waiting for months on repairs it scares me away.
Fold cost in the Netherlands at my provider as pre order 1300 euro, while oneplus cost still 1600 euro. I think for the price fold6 is the better option
the fold 6 display on Kevin's review seems kinda odd. Other review channels doesnt have the same fold 6 that kevin has. Fold 6 have incredible display and I dont know why Kevin's review, his fold 6 has washed display
@@jkcabs4569he is probably using it straight out the box which gives the screen a natural tone, were you can go into the settings and make the screen more vibrant and saturated on the z6
I felt the same way about the Fold 6 being less intriguing in added features, repeating those found on the Fold 5. Coming from the Fold 4 myself, I found repeatedly saying that these follow-ups would (very much) be the same. So, I saved my dough there. The OnePlus, on the other hand, would wow me in more ways than one; of course, as Oneplus’s first foldable device, we could easily expect much more on their next one. My verdict: Oneplus. Awesome video Kevin, and really dig the watch band too. 😎👍😎
I'm considering OnePlus open instead of Z Fold 6 as its been years since the first Z Fold and Samsung still hasn't made the outer screen as wide as a normal phone screen
Samsung is focusing more in durability, z fold 4 was more durable than 3, 5 more than 4, and six should be more durable than 5, they are not going to add huge hardware upgrades, because, inmho, they are not really needed
There are many other features to consider: a lighter build, larger screen, dust resistance, 2600 nits for both front and main screens compared to 1500/1300 nits for the Fold 4's cover/main screens, LTPO technology with a 1 to 120 Hz range for both front and main screens rather than just the main as in the Fold 4, and a better CPU. Additionally, there is a $1200 trade-in offer plus a substantial rebate for pre-orders.
I just switched from the ZF5 to the OPO. I am blown away by what I was missing here. The cameras are on a different level, and I've enjoyed setting it up to my liking. The other thing: yeah...there are a few bugs with OxygenOS. I switched to Niagara Pro, which made this things far better than my ZF5. Finally, whoa...having an IR Blaster built in has been incredibly handy.
Hey man thanks for this video. It's got a lot of good considerations without beating topics to death, and it feels like a legit review from a human rather than an overhyped clickbait video like is the norm on UA-cam. I am subscribed!
I really love the look of the new Fold, and the IP ratings are really nice to have. It's tempting but I really cant see myself switching until the display is something close to the Open, the multitasking is on par (those tiny boxes would drive me crazy), and of course fast charging is near 67w. The crease on the Fold still seems to be a lot more noticeable, i can't even see it on my Open. I absolutely love my Open, the only things keeping it from being truly "perfect" is the IP rating and the massive camera bump. It's charming but it does make it hard to lay flat
Here's the problem. The OnePlus phone is not going to end up on any of the major carriers for contract. Especially in the United States, so with that being said, Samsung will Have the market again. Just because most people don't drop $1700 on a phone at 1 time. Not to mention, Samsung is the king of software when it comes to compatibility with foldable apps.
OnePlus is on all the main carriers in the US. It's just that Sasmung has the BEST trade in values on earth. I got the Z Fold 6 Crafted Black for 760.00 before taxes because they gave 1000.00 for my old Fold 4. Can't beat that. OnePlus customer support is also trash compared to Samsung. Software is better on Samsung as well. I do like the OnePlus Opens form factor though
@@Chuchin619I've seen a couple users post this. How is that? Besides form factor on the front screen only at that, because that large camera on the back what better performance does it offer? A better front facing camera and zoom? Some have said a better multi-tasking system. I just don't see how. You can't run 3 full screen apps on the same screen. You still have to toggle through them on the one plus. Most apps on the fold run in the background and to get back to them I simply tap the recent app and right back into it. On the fold I'm not just limited to just the 3 apps, I have all the apps still running in background at my disposal. Also on the One plus open you can only open one Pop-up window on top of the 3 active apps. On the fold the video on UA-cam I watched they stopped at 7 apps in pop-up on top of the 3 in split-screen and still could have added more. Samsung software is far superior in my opinion. Best front screen ratio and maybe a slightly better video quality what is better about the open plus vs the z fold?
I have a Z Flip 3 currently and I haven't experienced any of these yet. However, I absolutey LOVE that Z Fold 6's design. I always liked the flatter edges with the square form factor. But that OnePlus is so clean and fast, for a cheaper price! But, I live in a dusty, dirty area, in the mountains to be specific. And, I think that IP48 rating is worth considering for me. Idk, these two are my top choices bc I don't find myself going back to a candybar after spending almost 4 years with the Z Flip 3.
Foldables need to be standard screen ratios. 4:3, 16:9 would make them attractive small tablet options for media consumption, which is the only reason the form factor would make sense.
One thing no reviewer realizes, is there's a vibrancy slider now. So just putting it on vivid won't make it pop. You have to go in the advanced settings, and raise the vibrancy and it'll remove that washed out look. Because I compared into the Fold 5 and wondered why it looked less vibrant on vivid, but then found the new slider.
Only thing I'll miss from the OP Open is the IR blaster and the super fast charging. I hate the software with all the bugs and problems it has and I absolutely hate One Plus's customer support. I went from the Fold 2 to the Fold 3, Fold 4, Pixel Fold to the OP Open and now preordered the Fold 6. My main reason for leaving Samsung was because of how much I got tired of using the front screen on their fold's and how narrow it is and all the small upgrades every year. The Fold 6 is exactly what I've been waiting for in terms of physical appearance. Just wide enough to where it's not super narrow and still able to use with one hand comfortably. The Open was a little too big to use the front screen sometimes and my hand would get tired just going through social media when I'm laying down. I also forgot how much I enjoyed Dex which is unbeatable to any other fold imo. Everyone has their own opinions and what they're looking for in a fold but it's nice we have all these different options with all these brands and their folds!
sorry to be off topic, but at 3:00 in where its showing video on both phones, the oneplus has a black background and the Fold6 is coloured, the colour drives me nuts on my S24, anyone know how to change that to just be black? on topic, I'm happy with the incremental updates Samsung is doing, with the fold line I wish they didn't fee likel they had to put out a new one every year, every 2 years would be great to have a significant update and in inbetween that just a colour refresh and perhaps a new snapdragon, also give us a foldable with no camera bump
I've been using the OnePlus Open for 8 months now and have not had any issues with it at all. The larger outside display and the barely noticeable crease is a big win for me. I don't know why Samsung now after 6 generations still have such a prominent crease.
I traded my z fold 4 in because I wasn't using it. Been using the s23 ultra. But the display on the fold phones is so good I had to get the fold 6. Gonna let my s23 ultra rest. Btw if you haven't used one... The One Plus 12r is an amazing phone!!!
Great compare review, i like fold6 design, but yay, i agree ,i also carry the oppo find N3 still, same as oneplus open, But what i m still curious about the fold6 battery life? is it nearly The same as oneplus open?, due to its different in battery size.
I come from z fold 3, and while the battery size of my new z fold 6, is the same mah, it last longer, I would say that like 2-4h more each day, maybe due to more efficient chip
Can you mention all the games you mentioned in the video, you talked about them so quickly that I am not able to catch the names of few even after replaying again and again
I gave up on Samsung foldables after the ZFold 4. Had a Pixel fold and a OnePlus open since ( loved both). Now using a Vivo XFold 3 (global version), expensive, but definitely the best foldable I've used so far
Don't take this to wrong way but the Z fold flip is the best phone even though I don't like furnitable phone at all I don't see the point of having one
Lol not to pick but i laughed at this part @4:29 only bcuz you said it didnt have wireless charging an its Tru bcuz i have a open then u said they both have reverse wireless charging ...i was like wait what almost made me believe it though i knew everything wbout my phone 😂
I have the fold 5, and with all the trade-in deals, it was worth trading in for the upgrade. I do like the updated design. I'm a big Spen and Dex user.
@@Encyledus that feature actually saved me once, from not been able to see my HR while doing gym, I just placed the watch on top of the phone, and after 5 minutes, I could use the watch
@@AlguienEnSuCasa Sure, I mean its a very niche use kind of thing so honestly who cares if it has it or not bcuz if u don't have it u can plan for not having it, like just bring ur watch charger with you if u don't charge it at night. Not a deal breaker but nice to have.
The 6 is definitely not "the same" as the 5. He forgot to talk about how much thinner the hinge is , how brighter the screen is, and well he actually mentioned all the other different things the 6 has from the 5😊
Vivo is still better than the Honor. The latter is slightly lighter and thinner but the software is unbelievably dogshit and no manufacturer will come close to Vivo's hardware on a fold.
Until they open up and turn into a tablet with an actual tablet (wide screen) aspect ratio, these phones are no go. GF6 if it was around 6.7 or 6.8 taller instead of 6.3 then it would have been closer to it. But they made it even shorter than before. And the wait, for me to see an actual foldable (phone to tablet) phone continues.
Had the fold 4. Did not like the crease or the black bars when open. The 5 was not much of an improvement, so I traded it for s24 ultra. Seeing the fold 6 "not much of an upgrade to the 5" is a big disappointment. Glad I am good the next couple of years to wait for a real improvement. Good video.
im already sold for the z fold6 when you can draw and customize your photo right on the spot when posting pictures no more random photo bomber in the background 😊
The Z Fold 6 looks more mature and advanced. But that’s obvious because they’ve been developing the Z fold line for years. Camera is mid in the Samsung though
The fold needs to be 1 to 3 mm bigger. Built in s pen, better battery, way way way better. . And then the cameras need to be better. With that said. Display, build quality, and versatility is awesome. They have almost nailed it because samsung software is becoming better. Imagine the watch 6 classic, with z fold 6, buds 3 pro and the spen case.
If you are complaining about having to open a foldable phone more than you may want to in order to do certain things, then you shouldn't even be using a foldable phone. It is this large internal screen that helps you become more productive than you could be with your typical phone as well as enables you to enjoy content in a more engaging way. So if opening a foldable is a problem, just stick with the candy bar style.
Folding phones are dead to me, until the day arrives when they eliminate the crease 100%. And there's proper gorilla glass like protection on the screen, not that flimsy BS they have right now.
Im debating on both of these. They both have pros and cons. The Fold 6 will run me $1,180.97 total and the OnePlus Open will run me $929.10 total. Already have a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and OnePlus Watch 2 and headsets from both companies. Any guidance is appreciated. Edit: Ordered the Open yesterday 💪🏼
You shouldn’t have a problem using the watch on a non Samsung device. Samsung offers SHealth and many other apps to be downloadable and compatible with all Android devices.
Why can't Samsung simply put two Samsung S24 Ultra Displays together to give us a fold??? And then use a third S24 Ultra display for the cover screen and the same camera system from the S24 Ultra and the built in S Pen in a Fold factor????? Samsung literally has all the hardware and software to make it happen and they don't need to reinvent anything new.
Ive har the one plus open since its released and i love my phone. No issues at all. Used to have a fold 3 and within 1 month. The screen started cracking in the middle. Never bought another Samsung flip phone again.
I decided to give one plus open a chance and it is very good phone but when the screen issues started it is a nightmare. The inside screen started to turn black so i sent it to one plus & it took about 3 months to get a replacement & on top of that it came back with scratches. I played with the fold 6 and i can say that the samsung built quality feels better more refine product and i do not mine the narrower front display since i can use with one hand.
I switched from the Fold 5 to the Oneplus last year and it has been a mixed bag. For one the supposedly so much brighter screen on the Oneplus on paper really wasn't that much brighter at all. The haptic feedback feels cheap on the OP. And then there are software bugs. Adaptive screen brightness never holds my setting it always goes way to dim. UA-cam has bugs with screen zoom. My cover picture dissappears regularly to name a few. Software is King. That is why I am switching back to the Fold 6.
I have never heard someone complaining about haptics of oneplus device. Its literally the best. Even better than iphones 😮
I feel the same way. I switched to the Open and it's just buggy. I can't even watch UA-cam in minimized view. It just disappears into the background. Hardware is cool but software is king for me.
Facts and their haptics is so in tune with their ui. I'm calling 🧢 @@Kakarot7314
Have op open never had any of these problems
The Samsung One UI and its ecosystem is the best one out there, excluding Apple ofc
Durability and repairability is a massive factor. On Twitter I'm seeing several people who have been getting broken OnePlus Opens and OnePlus had a wait time of months for repairs. Samsung actually has repair options in the states. And this new phone should be even more durable.
To be fair, you can find anecdotes about broken Z Folds and horrible Samsung repair service as well. We don't have proper statistics but based on polls, the Open appears to be more reliable than at least the ZFold 5.
@@Ronnethad some dust behind the screen on my zf5, took less than a week to fix for Samsung (I sent the phone).
They replaced almost all the exterior elements, my phone was brand new
Wrong it depends on what warranty you purchased. Mine has where you can just exchange the device. Also i never had to. With every Samsung fold i had to send it to get it repaired 2x even.
@Ronnet in my experience, owning the last 3 fold phones that came out, the inner screen is indestructible, you dont even have to worry about it breaking, it wont happen. However, the screen protector lasts about a year or less before bubbling up in the center, and you can replace it for free because samsung has a one year warranty on it, (trust me, it won't last the full year)
@@Megatholisincorrect lol. Me and my family members have got the zf4 since pre order and never no bubbles lol. I've literally dropped my phone a million times and nothings happened to it.
I chose the OnePlus Open due to its multitasking features! I think they are unbeatable. I use editing apps, and they take too much time to export, so I love playing Genshin Impact while they are exporting! I also love the camera; it captures my skin beautifully!But, I love the colors the zf 6 comes in and its latest boxy design! I had a Samsung Note 10 before, and I love the customization options Samsung offers!
There is a video on UA-cam that shows one plus open vs fold 5. In the video the opo was definitely outshine by fold 5. The open plus open 3 full size apps is just like apps running in the background of the fold. You could only have one pop-up window open on top of the 3 apps while the fold you can literally open every app in you folder in pop-up on top of the 3 acti e apps on the screen. Please tell me how the multi-tasking is so much better. Isn't hitting recent apps button and going back to previous open app the same as the one open toggle?? I am looking at the one plus open hard but besides front screen ratio I can't see the benefit. And I actually prefer to be able to use front screen one handed
@@TheCheiftallest420 Yes, the OnePlus Open can only open one app as a pop-up while the Samsung Fold can open many. However, I use it to play games while large files are being exported. On the Fold, I can't even open games in split view, and if they do open in split view, they are tiny and not full screen.
The OnePlus Open has a sidebar. If you open an app from that sidebar, it automatically opens in a pop-up view. This means I don't have to go to the recent apps; I can just switch between apps using the sidebar. For example, while playing a game, I can open the calculator in pop-up view. If I then open WhatsApp, it will replace the calculator in the pop-up. But again, from the sidebar, I can open the calculator and it will be exactly as I left it.
So, even though it may not be as convenient as Samsung's setup, I can still open pop-ups without going to the recent apps, and on top of three full-screen apps! That's why I consider it the best for multitasking. But, to each their own.

The 512gb Open starts at $1700 full price and with the $200 trade in offer it’s $1500. The 512gb Fold 6 starts at $2020 full price and I was able to trade my iPhone 11 Pro Max for $750. With no other promotion or sale, the cost of the 512gb Fold 6 is $1270 after trading in a 5 year old phone (granted I paid much less with other discounts and promotions but you understand my point). Wouldn’t that be considered a better steal? Especially when you’re talking about a device being nearly a year old compared to a brand new one.
I traded in my Z Fold 5 towards the OnePlus Open 512GB and got a $900 trade-in . It cost me $599 after the trade in. Great trade in allowance ......
got 1000$ for my fold 3 + 150 pre-order rebate + 1 year of samsung care for free .
@steved8563 That's actually very close to what I paid even tho the Fold 6 starts at a much higher price and with trading in a 5 year old phone, not quite the same as trading something barely a year old.
@@jollyrancherchick Not at all because the OnePlus Open is a bigger and better folding phone all around.... And you can actually use the front screen as a normal phone so it's a much better deal and investment overall....
I looked at the Z Fold 6 in person for the first time yesterday and compared it with my OnePlus Open and it's was still like comparing it to my other folds including the (2) Z Fold 5's that I had .....
I just got $620 trade in for my OnePlus 9 pro and the Open was on sale for $1600 and I got a $300 coupon so I snagged it for $680.
Great review mate! I'm excited to see what OnePlus will do with the Open 2!
Agrees 😊
I wish OnePlus would have released the 2 around the same time as the Fold 6
@@Stillway2006I think One Plus is waiting another year. For work, I really like the One Plus Open. Game changer if you work a ton with PDFs and Microsoft Office.

@@arpanmalhi8342 I have a feeling it's going to be something special. Hopefully good enough to be my first daily driver foldable haha
Yo, the Z Fold 6 should've been like the OnePlus Open form factor, man. But Samsung's warranty is way better here, so I guess I'm stuck with them.
I would be pissed if they got rid of the narrow cover screen for the 6. The One handability of the fold is second to NONE. If its that important to you, I agree that they should make a variant that DOES have a larger cover screen, but don't deprive me of the real reason I perfer my fold 3 over any regular phone
@yellerthc6010 you're the 10%...that likes narrow....fold should be s24 ultra that folds...
Samsung is even far durrable
@@TheRealYeller second to none? It's unnecessarily thin while still being too tall. The Pixel Fold is a true one hand phone. Taking the dimensions of classics like the Galaxy S2, which were designed with one hand use in mind.
no it's perfect like that just buy a one plus bro
Fold form factor is perfect. Dex alone makes it better.
No
I like the both but I really like this year's not too narrow front screen on the fold 6 for one hand use
Yeah agree z fold 6 is a1...ppl want it to be everything
Definitely not. Outer screen is way too narrow.
@@JoostN86 It does make me laugh that because the phone is narrow closed, people try to justify how it's the perfect form factor lmao. And yet you know if they made it wider, all those people WOULD love it.
I personally like the Z-fold 6 front screen size I like that it’s easy to one hand hold instead of a wide fat screen
agree, 3 years using z fold, and I feel very confortable with front screen
People people....he said in HIS opinion. Please, we all have our desires. It's his opinion. Let him live! Great video. I love the details!
Been rocking Oneplus Open since 8 months and trust me its far better than the samsung fold..I had fold 3 and 4 from samsung and i didnt use either of em for more than 3 months because of the narrow display,weight and thickness..Also the IR blaster on the OnePlus is something which i use alot
Man that blaster is so clutch
Yeah I bought it when it first came out. But I disagree the software is not on par with Samsung and hardware and camera is not either.
@MD-wz8uz you talking about vs the fold 5?
Got my hands on the new Z Fold 6 2days ago. It looks and feels fantastic! YOU HAVE TO FEEL & HOLD IT. The refinement is absolutely on point on every angle. The built feels so robust! Photos and videos won't do justice. You have to check it out! I upgraded from my current Z Flip 5. Excited to receive my preorder. 🔥
It’s crap😂😂😂😂
@@travisbloomfield303 you're crap 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@travisbloomfield303 ur a hater and probably can't afford it 🤣
Try holding the OnePlus and it feels like a Z Fold 7
They are two different lanes that makers chose. Samsung (and it bugs me when people complain that they aren't innovating or taking risks) has made it clear that this is the form factor they chose. They're improving and making it better. But they want you to open it up and use it more than using the outer screen. They even call the open screen the main screen. They don't want you to open it only at times. OP made it where it's more reminiscent of a typical slab and to some that's what they prefer as it's more usable when closed. Then again, if you have a foldable, why use it mostly closed? Two camps here honestly and each side is "right." It's a matter of what you prefer.
TBH, I had 3 years of z fold 3, and I used the outer small screen like 90% of the time, I can't understand the complains, now I have the z fold 6, it feels better, both the outer screen and the inner crease, also looks more durable.
I only use inner screen to play games, and watch media while I eat outside of my house
I've got the fold 4, but will be looking forward to the one plus 2. Hopefully it would improve even than the fold 6 for samsung to catch up on their fold 7.
The One Plus Open is rhe better phone. I work at T-Mobile and i can tell you One Plus phones are great quality in build and materials.
Where do you work at ?
I think you put on the Apple tee shirt on just for this review lol
It seems like a joke that Oneplus releases a mobile phone that is better in functionality and Samsung is already up to 6. The exterior screen is better than Oneplus without a doubt. I wanted to buy the Samsung, but I don't see that useful improvement. Despite being almost the same size, I think Oneplus knows how to do things and has proven it. Oneplus and Honor, both I think they are better foldable
Not for software. Honor and OnePlus are crap
opo is better in what way? better because it has no proper digitizer pen support, no water resistant, no wireless charging, no dex, no support, no udc. LOL
The OnePlus fold is just a rebranded oppo find n3 so it's not really their first gen fold but the third but the one plus open is nice but software id prefer the Samsung or pixel fold .
Samsung fold is best
wow it’s almost like they’ve been following samsung since the original fold 😂 dumbass bro
I strongly like the s pen, and wireless charging. I also like Samsung's multitasking interface, and prefer the underscreen camera vs the hole punch, even with the poor image quality. Those things beat out the other hardware advantages of the Open, for me.
It's meant for video calls not for photos
Just say you are a npc
The fact that you said your opinion rather than leave it to our guesses gets mad respect from me. I have been trying to figure out which of these two to get and this video gave me the final push to go for the oneplus open. Also, I read somewhere that oppo stylus pens work on both the front and inner displays of the 1+. Thanks a lot
I am sorry but unless the one plus open improved software it just can’t hold up to the fold. I could not take the fact that my widgets would keep shrinking. Also the hinge was not as great. That spring would snap open and it would also snap close when I tried to use it in flex mode which will eventually damage the phone. But overall it was a good phone until I sold it, the fast speed charging on the one plus was great though. The camera however was straight just okay on the oneplus open.
Question: It is said that maybe Samsung keeps the slimmer front screen because it's easier for one hand operation, I actually use one-hand operation (to be able to operate the whole phone one handed and just your thumb). What do you the think, as most tech reviewers are iPhone users and one-hand operation doesn't exist, nor did it ever exist.
I know what you mean, it's rare that I ever use any device one handed though. I think there's an easy solution, which is what my old phone (Honor Note 8) has. You just sweep across the three android buttons, and the whole screen shrinks by about 30%. Something which should be on all phones really, neat solution.
I love the z fold dimensions of outer screen
I think the Samsung fold rear camera is better but OnePlus front camera is better. Personal opinion
I choose the One Plus anyday. I work at T-Mobile and weve always said One Plus is an underrated company.
We understood that you work at T mobile
I think right now you gotta mention DEX at least a little bit for a PC mode. With the OnePlus, good luck.
Btw the reason Why that video looks like that is due to ambient mode. Turn it off and the black bars will come back for thaf oled effect
Glad to see a reviewer is honest about the camera. The 1+ has better hardware, but the image results don't show an advantage over the Z. The folds image processing tends to be better. The Z falls short on zoom and catching a clean images of moving objects.
I rocked with my Z Fold2 from when it released all the way until earlier this year, when I had saved up the money to upgrade to a new foldable, and that was around January and I had a choice to make, and I looked at the Fold5 and it didn't look all that different from my experience on the Fold2, and the one thing I REALLY wanted to change was the front display being far too narrow to the point where I typically just always unfolded the phone in order to use it. I actually wanted to try the HONOR Magic V2, but there wasn't an international version at the time, so I decided to go with the OnePlus Open because I had seen nothing but praise for it in reviews and most importantly: it had a 20:9 aspect ratio for the front display and people were reporting that it felt like using a standard smaller-form smartphone, and it absolutely does. Unlike the Z Fold, I actually use the hell out of my front display ALL the time now, especially when I only have one hand free. Finally seeing these videos where you see the Z Fold6 in-hand next to the Open, it doesn't look *that* much wider than the Fold5, which has the same dimensions as the 4, 3, and 2, so I feel pretty validated in my decision to just buy the Open and not see if it was worth waiting for the Fold6. I LOVE my OnePlus Open personally. I don't think I can ever go back to a non-foldable phone again lol
Bro $1100 trade in for my broke Note 3 definitely makes the fold 6 the best fold phone in this planet. Can't worry about specs and stats and on-paper stuff with this kind of deal lol
No way you got 1100 on a note 3 💀
Where you getting 1100 for a note3? Let alone a "broke" one??
@@O.GfromHtown ATT trade in special pre-order offer for the Flip 6 and Fold 6. Any year, Any condition. Hope they don't screw me over though but on their trade in selection, where you input the condition of the phone, i selected every NO and still got $1100.
My whole beef is the MutiTasking feats the onePlus lacks.. The Samsung MT feature is AMAZING. I've used almost all the options in the MT feature with Fold..Especially the Starred Group feature. When I am doing Uber eats/DoorDash at the same timed adding you tube as the third app in the group..The floating app feature is no slouch either.. The open's Camera bump is too much for me...
Would argue Open has a more intuitive multitasking experience and it's not even close - 3 full size apps open at once and not having a tiny cramped space for each.
@yuria3411 people talk about Open Canvas but it's more task switching between 2-3 apps rather than truly having 3 apps visible. the animation looks nice but...no its not as good as One UI and that's ok
Hey Kevin awesome review on the two foldables, for me it's the OnePlus Open all day. I traded in my Samsung S23 Ultra for the OnePlus Open because I always had a foldable by Samsung but tried the S23 and I just couldn't stand it not having a foldable and I was so tired of the skinny Samsung Fold.
So with my trade-in I was able to get the Oneplus Open for around $600 and I'm so glade I did.
OnePlus to me is beautiful and I love the design. I'm so tired of the boring look of Samsung and Samsung really upset me by not doing a major upgrade and just added a bunch of AI crap.
But honestly I cant wait for the Google Pixel Fold 2 I think even that foldable is going to be better that Samsung Galaxy Fold 6 and that's a damn shame because Samsung is on it's six Gen.
And to just let you know you can not charge the new Ultra watch on reverse charging with the new Samsung Galaxy Fold 6. Thanks again Samsung.
Thanks for the comment. Yeah I found out after the video you can’t charge it using the phone. But you can other watches.
The new watch charger is a bit diff too. Old one works but just does not work as good. Takes some wiggling to make it work.
hey brother where do you traded your s23 , i have samsung i too looking for OP Open
@Wick3y I traded it on the Oneplus Website. At the time the Open was just $1399. They gave me $800 trade in value for it.
I'm loving this Oneplus Open.
I just got my OnePlus phone last month, and I can't wait to switch to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. I prefer Samsung's One UI to OnePlus's OxygenOS.
The Samsung claims that the cover screen is 6.3 inches wide while the OPO is 6.31 inches wide, is the z fold 6 just as wide as the OPO? Can you type comfortably on it?
I talked about it at the end of the video. I can and I’m sure with more practice it’ll be easier. But I’m just more comfortable on the open.
Different aspect ratios. Focusing on just the width of the outer displays excluding bezel, the Open's is 65.7mm, the Fold 6 is 60mm, and an iphone 15 is 65mm. So if you have ever typed on a regular iphone, the one plus will feel like that.
I want the OPO but there service center is the worst. I see so many displays failing and so many people waiting for months on repairs it scares me away.
Fold cost in the Netherlands at my provider as pre order 1300 euro, while oneplus cost still 1600 euro. I think for the price fold6 is the better option
1300 euros??, seriously?... I would have travelled to your country XD, my is 1750€, but after a trade I got it for 1100€ by giving my old z fold 3
The Oppo Pen works with the One Plus Ope n!!!!
Man, the cartoon generated images 8:17 make you look a bit like Zangief from Street Fighter 😅. Anyway, great review
It does!
OnePlus Open is better looking display.
I'll get one eventually once I get a good price on it.
Lmao, highly doubt that 😅
the fold 6 display on Kevin's review seems kinda odd. Other review channels doesnt have the same fold 6 that kevin has. Fold 6 have incredible display and I dont know why Kevin's review, his fold 6 has washed display
That’s a lie
@@jkcabs4569he is probably using it straight out the box which gives the screen a natural tone, were you can go into the settings and make the screen more vibrant and saturated on the z6
I felt the same way about the Fold 6 being less intriguing in added features, repeating those found on the Fold 5. Coming from the Fold 4 myself, I found repeatedly saying that these follow-ups would (very much) be the same. So, I saved my dough there. The OnePlus, on the other hand, would wow me in more ways than one; of course, as Oneplus’s first foldable device, we could easily expect much more on their next one. My verdict: Oneplus. Awesome video Kevin, and really dig the watch band too.
😎👍😎
I'm considering OnePlus open instead of Z Fold 6 as its been years since the first Z Fold and Samsung still hasn't made the outer screen as wide as a normal phone screen
Samsung is focusing more in durability, z fold 4 was more durable than 3, 5 more than 4, and six should be more durable than 5, they are not going to add huge hardware upgrades, because, inmho, they are not really needed
There are many other features to consider: a lighter build, larger screen, dust resistance, 2600 nits for both front and main screens compared to 1500/1300 nits for the Fold 4's cover/main screens, LTPO technology with a 1 to 120 Hz range for both front and main screens rather than just the main as in the Fold 4, and a better CPU. Additionally, there is a $1200 trade-in offer plus a substantial rebate for pre-orders.
The perfect foldable: OPO & Z Fold 6 had a kid.
I just switched from the ZF5 to the OPO. I am blown away by what I was missing here. The cameras are on a different level, and I've enjoyed setting it up to my liking. The other thing: yeah...there are a few bugs with OxygenOS. I switched to Niagara Pro, which made this things far better than my ZF5. Finally, whoa...having an IR Blaster built in has been incredibly handy.
In those video/audio tests sound practically identical to me
Hey man thanks for this video. It's got a lot of good considerations without beating topics to death, and it feels like a legit review from a human rather than an overhyped clickbait video like is the norm on UA-cam. I am subscribed!
I really love the look of the new Fold, and the IP ratings are really nice to have. It's tempting but I really cant see myself switching until the display is something close to the Open, the multitasking is on par (those tiny boxes would drive me crazy), and of course fast charging is near 67w. The crease on the Fold still seems to be a lot more noticeable, i can't even see it on my Open.
I absolutely love my Open, the only things keeping it from being truly "perfect" is the IP rating and the massive camera bump. It's charming but it does make it hard to lay flat
OnePlus open has flex view, I use it for Netflix and UA-cam
Need a Battery drain Test 🪫
Fold 6 vs OnePlus Open vs Honor V3 vs Vivo x Fold Pro 3
Who is the 🤴 in Folds that were Launched this year
So were basically praising OP simply for the aspect ratio, but overlooking the software that actually affects the experience? Aw ok
Here's the problem. The OnePlus phone is not going to end up on any of the major carriers for contract. Especially in the United States, so with that being said, Samsung will Have the market again. Just because most people don't drop $1700 on a phone at 1 time. Not to mention, Samsung is the king of software when it comes to compatibility with foldable apps.
But not counting any of that, the OnePlus is more overall complete imo
OnePlus is on all the main carriers in the US. It's just that Sasmung has the BEST trade in values on earth. I got the Z Fold 6 Crafted Black for 760.00 before taxes because they gave 1000.00 for my old Fold 4. Can't beat that. OnePlus customer support is also trash compared to Samsung. Software is better on Samsung as well. I do like the OnePlus Opens form factor though
@@Chuchin619I've seen a couple users post this. How is that? Besides form factor on the front screen only at that, because that large camera on the back what better performance does it offer? A better front facing camera and zoom? Some have said a better multi-tasking system. I just don't see how. You can't run 3 full screen apps on the same screen. You still have to toggle through them on the one plus. Most apps on the fold run in the background and to get back to them I simply tap the recent app and right back into it. On the fold I'm not just limited to just the 3 apps, I have all the apps still running in background at my disposal. Also on the One plus open you can only open one Pop-up window on top of the 3 active apps. On the fold the video on UA-cam I watched they stopped at 7 apps in pop-up on top of the 3 in split-screen and still could have added more. Samsung software is far superior in my opinion. Best front screen ratio and maybe a slightly better video quality what is better about the open plus vs the z fold?
@4:30 both phones have reverse wireless charging?? The OnePlus doesn't even have regular wireless charging. Small mistake?
You didnt mention that the samsung still has a VERY VISIBLE crease while the oneplus looks like it doesnt even have one
Honestly I don’t even think about it when using it. It’s nothing that I thought like hmmm this crease is in the way.
@Techninjaspeaks but on the onplus I literally can't see it. Is it that much better?
I have a Z Flip 3 currently and I haven't experienced any of these yet. However, I absolutey LOVE that Z Fold 6's design. I always liked the flatter edges with the square form factor. But that OnePlus is so clean and fast, for a cheaper price! But, I live in a dusty, dirty area, in the mountains to be specific. And, I think that IP48 rating is worth considering for me. Idk, these two are my top choices bc I don't find myself going back to a candybar after spending almost 4 years with the Z Flip 3.
Foldables need to be standard screen ratios. 4:3, 16:9 would make them attractive small tablet options for media consumption, which is the only reason the form factor would make sense.
One thing no reviewer realizes, is there's a vibrancy slider now. So just putting it on vivid won't make it pop. You have to go in the advanced settings, and raise the vibrancy and it'll remove that washed out look. Because I compared into the Fold 5 and wondered why it looked less vibrant on vivid, but then found the new slider.
This is gorgeous phone. I really wanna have it
Samsung is the best. Poor reviewer still struggle to accept Samsung supremacy. And now, Google team up with Samsung + Qualcomm - the future is here.
The best deal in the smartphone world is the Oneplus 12r! Its my second phone and its crazy good!!
Only thing I'll miss from the OP Open is the IR blaster and the super fast charging. I hate the software with all the bugs and problems it has and I absolutely hate One Plus's customer support. I went from the Fold 2 to the Fold 3, Fold 4, Pixel Fold to the OP Open and now preordered the Fold 6. My main reason for leaving Samsung was because of how much I got tired of using the front screen on their fold's and how narrow it is and all the small upgrades every year. The Fold 6 is exactly what I've been waiting for in terms of physical appearance. Just wide enough to where it's not super narrow and still able to use with one hand comfortably. The Open was a little too big to use the front screen sometimes and my hand would get tired just going through social media when I'm laying down. I also forgot how much I enjoyed Dex which is unbeatable to any other fold imo. Everyone has their own opinions and what they're looking for in a fold but it's nice we have all these different options with all these brands and their folds!

sorry to be off topic, but at 3:00 in where its showing video on both phones, the oneplus has a black background and the Fold6 is coloured, the colour drives me nuts on my S24, anyone know how to change that to just be black?
on topic, I'm happy with the incremental updates Samsung is doing, with the fold line I wish they didn't fee likel they had to put out a new one every year, every 2 years would be great to have a significant update and in inbetween that just a colour refresh and perhaps a new snapdragon, also give us a foldable with no camera bump
Its the ambiant mode setting.
I've been using the OnePlus Open for 8 months now and have not had any issues with it at all. The larger outside display and the barely noticeable crease is a big win for me. I don't know why Samsung now after 6 generations still have such a prominent crease.
I have a z fold 4 should i wait to upgrade till next year or the upgrades significantly better on 6 that i should
You could always wait. It’s a big upgrade from 4 to 6.
wait until fold ultra comes out by fold 8
Z fold 4 hinge is a ticking time bomb from what I read online. Based on that alone you should upgrade imo.
If you’re in the USA Samsung is giving some insane trade in deals so I would upgrade for sure
I traded my z fold 4 in because I wasn't using it. Been using the s23 ultra. But the display on the fold phones is so good I had to get the fold 6. Gonna let my s23 ultra rest. Btw if you haven't used one... The One Plus 12r is an amazing phone!!!
Great compare review, i like fold6 design, but yay, i agree ,i also carry the oppo find N3 still, same as oneplus open,
But what i m still curious about the fold6 battery life? is it nearly The same as oneplus open?, due to its different in battery size.
I come from z fold 3, and while the battery size of my new z fold 6, is the same mah, it last longer, I would say that like 2-4h more each day, maybe due to more efficient chip
The lack of pen support is a deadbreaker for me
Can you mention all the games you mentioned in the video, you talked about them so quickly that I am not able to catch the names of few even after replaying again and again
nice compare. dang still can see that crease on the Fold 6 to the Open where its nonexistent(to the naked eye).
The size difference is a moot point since the landscape orientation is exactly the same as the Fold 5.
I gave up on Samsung foldables after the ZFold 4. Had a Pixel fold and a OnePlus open since ( loved both). Now using a Vivo XFold 3 (global version), expensive, but definitely the best foldable I've used so far
Don't take this to wrong way but the Z fold flip is the best phone even though I don't like furnitable phone at all I don't see the point of having one
Lol not to pick but i laughed at this part @4:29 only bcuz you said it didnt have wireless charging an its Tru bcuz i have a open then u said they both have reverse wireless charging ...i was like wait what almost made me believe it though i knew everything wbout my phone 😂
I have the fold 5, and with all the trade-in deals, it was worth trading in for the upgrade. I do like the updated design. I'm a big Spen and Dex user.
Should I get one plus open now or wait for the 2?
Also - the OPO does not have reverse wireless charging.
Nobody uses that lol
@@Encyledus that feature actually saved me once, from not been able to see my HR while doing gym, I just placed the watch on top of the phone, and after 5 minutes, I could use the watch
@@AlguienEnSuCasa Sure, I mean its a very niche use kind of thing so honestly who cares if it has it or not bcuz if u don't have it u can plan for not having it, like just bring ur watch charger with you if u don't charge it at night. Not a deal breaker but nice to have.
The 6 is definitely not "the same" as the 5. He forgot to talk about how much thinner the hinge is , how brighter the screen is, and well he actually mentioned all the other different things the 6 has from the 5😊
The one plus when opened has no potrait orientation due to its dimensions.
The Samsung oled screen should mean those black bars in the video mode are dark black like on the open. It shouldnt be that bright
Fold 6 hands down
I guess you havent used the vivo z fold 3 pro...thats the best foldable ...or was now that the honor magic v3 is out...
Vivo is still better than the Honor. The latter is slightly lighter and thinner but the software is unbelievably dogshit and no manufacturer will come close to Vivo's hardware on a fold.
Until they open up and turn into a tablet with an actual tablet (wide screen) aspect ratio, these phones are no go. GF6 if it was around 6.7 or 6.8 taller instead of 6.3 then it would have been closer to it. But they made it even shorter than before. And the wait, for me to see an actual foldable (phone to tablet) phone continues.
Samsung fold 6 mic 😮😮😮👍🏻
I went from the fold 3 to the OnePlus mainly for the outer display. Overall im happy for the switch.
Really good review, agree oneplus open is still the better fold
Was ready to pull the trigger on the Fold 6 then I heard they are doing the FOld 6 ultra!! In sep!! And that is supposedly much thinner and better
You said the z doesnt wireless charge well? I have a tesla and use that often
Had the fold 4. Did not like the crease or the black bars when open. The 5 was not much of an improvement, so I traded it for s24 ultra. Seeing the fold 6 "not much of an upgrade to the 5" is a big disappointment. Glad I am good the next couple of years to wait for a real improvement. Good video.
If the OPO had comparable software features to Samsung and had wireless charging I would probably be buying it right now over the ZF6.
im already sold for the z fold6 when you can draw and customize your photo right on the spot when posting pictures no more random photo bomber in the background 😊
The Z Fold 6 looks more mature and advanced. But that’s obvious because they’ve been developing the Z fold line for years. Camera is mid in the Samsung though
The fold needs to be 1 to 3 mm bigger. Built in s pen, better battery, way way way better. . And then the cameras need to be better. With that said. Display, build quality, and versatility is awesome. They have almost nailed it because samsung software is becoming better. Imagine the watch 6 classic, with z fold 6, buds 3 pro and the spen case.
If you are complaining about having to open a foldable phone more than you may want to in order to do certain things, then you shouldn't even be using a foldable phone. It is this large internal screen that helps you become more productive than you could be with your typical phone as well as enables you to enjoy content in a more engaging way. So if opening a foldable is a problem, just stick with the candy bar style.
Samsung Fold 6 mini battery and 25watt charge speed 😂😂😂 welcome in 2016!!!
Thanks for the comparison. I'm still on the fence about getting another foldable.
Folding phones are dead to me, until the day arrives when they eliminate the crease 100%.
And there's proper gorilla glass like protection on the screen, not that flimsy BS they have right now.
I have a fold 4 I will be keeping till the fold 7. This bumgrade is not worth the extra dallors a month.
Waiting for next year foldables
Im debating on both of these. They both have pros and cons. The Fold 6 will run me $1,180.97 total and the OnePlus Open will run me $929.10 total. Already have a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and OnePlus Watch 2 and headsets from both companies. Any guidance is appreciated. Edit: Ordered the Open yesterday 💪🏼
Does the galaxy watch Ultra work with the Oneplus?
Not with same functionality fully. But it does work.
@@Techninjaspeaks so, no health tracking? Calls, messages and notifications only?
You shouldn’t have a problem using the watch on a non Samsung device. Samsung offers SHealth and many other apps to be downloadable and compatible with all Android devices.
@@TT0973all these will work
Why can't Samsung simply put two Samsung S24 Ultra Displays together to give us a fold??? And then use a third S24 Ultra display for the cover screen and the same camera system from the S24 Ultra and the built in S Pen in a Fold factor????? Samsung literally has all the hardware and software to make it happen and they don't need to reinvent anything new.
Ive har the one plus open since its released and i love my phone. No issues at all. Used to have a fold 3 and within 1 month. The screen started cracking in the middle. Never bought another Samsung flip phone again.
Why OnePlus wouldn’t allow their phone to be financed through a carrier is a fumble.
I decided to give one plus open a chance and it is very good phone but when the screen issues started it is a nightmare. The inside screen started to turn black so i sent it to one plus & it took about 3 months to get a replacement & on top of that it came back with scratches. I played with the fold 6 and i can say that the samsung built quality feels better more refine product and i do not mine the narrower front display since i can use with one hand.
The fold 6 plus s pen im sold! Its unfortunate its not integrated into the phone. Cant wait to get my fold 6
