I think I like 90% of the shown photos more from the Open as opposed to the iPhone
Yeah I agree too
Lols me too. Especially the last photo. The iphone was too dark it needs editing. The oneplus is already okay for posting 😁
Nowadays, camera comparison is basically pointless. All cameras,is perfectly fine. Software and added features is king.
Ai can enhance photo too
Actually not the iPhone camera can't capture colors like the OnePlus. 8:00 the skyscraper in the middle is supposed to have a red key at the top. The OnePlus captures the key color, the iPhone can't pull red off. Even the flag on the right is black on IOS
Exactly. Most people take an occasion selphie or photo and most cameras today are sufficient.
@@JBDNFThow are you going to view that photo? You going to print it out? Regardless of the camera, social media apps are perfectly developed for iOS. So pictures always look better on the sites that people want to view them on. Facebook isn’t going to put of effort into making sure this phones shots are as accurate.
Agree. The pictures where very similar and from both phones it would be possible to edit to the exact same result
Here in Europe, it's the same price as a 512gb 15promax. Its outrageous how a normal slab phone can cost that much
EU kinda has the most rediculous electronic prices😂 Switzerland is even worse lol
Omg 💀
I have been an iPhone user since the iPhone 3G. This year, i switched to the z fold 5 because Apple just wouldn't do a foldable. I now only carry one device around, compared to when i always carried a phone and ipad. It seems Apple's first foldable will be an ipad, which doesn't solve the 2 device problem. Disappointing.
If Samsung makes the Z fold outer display wider (as rumoured) and makes the S-Pen built in ,I'll 100% switch.One Plus Open seems to be the best fordable at the moment.
Out of stock already in the UK but I would happily switch. Been looking at foldable phones for years now but this is the first one that's definitely got me thinking of buying one (if in stock!)
Price 😅
I just looked today for one of these or even the oppo and as you already said no UK stock.
I am glad that OnePlus is properly bringing oppo products to more markets. This is a really good product. Gone are the stupid OnePlus products with weird extra cameras for infrared or monochrome, and their old fans who probably jumped ship to nothing were kinda annoying. I like oppo oneplus, and this is probably a well priced top performing foldable, except no wireless charging. With foldable this good and stage manager mostly sorted out, apple should try making one. Maybe.
Got my oneplus
I might actually return my Pixel 8 Pro to get this instead.
this is an idea for me too
You should for sure
Worth it
Just did this exact same thing
I'm about to do this lol
Comparing this to an iPad Mini could be interesting.
The OnePlus Open is currently the best foldable.
Should you ditch the iPhone 15? Should've never got it. 😂
based
Same, I switched to the iPhone 15 Pro Max when it was released after being a life-long Android user (the last iPhone I had was the iPhone 4...), switching was the biggest mistake I've ever made. At first I didn't mind iOS, but as I got used to the features, the novelty slowly wore off. Also, being a closed ecosystem, it's far too restrictive for my tastes.
Android IMO is just superior in almost every way, I'm going to be selling my iPhone, I've already ordered a OnePlus Open :)
I have had 4 Oneplus phones now. Trading in my OP10T for $200 + $500 credit on the Oneplus Open. Huge deal
Same here 😊
I felt that the UA-cam videos had big black bars which meant the videos were the same size as a normal phone.
But at 5:59 i noticed that the videos did look bigger. Did you zoom in a bit?
Dan one question I still have to use a phone for phone calls video calls Skype FaceTime or Google. I was wondering if you had a chance to make any calls what you thought and especially I often use the speakers for speaker calling how you feel about the quality there, in terms of making a call, not so much in playback of a video nice review. Thanks.
Need a comparison between Oppo Find N3 (colorOS) & OnePlus Open (oxygenOS). Hope Nothing comes up with a foldable phone too to compete at the same level as Oppo & OnePlus.
I don't know why I haven't thought about this before, but this makes me want a foldable iPhone with support for the pencil!
In another 5 years, maybe😂
Where did you get this wallpaper? :)
Actually the first company that made a gapless design was OPPO before Samsung and google and in terms of technology OPPO is much more ahead of the others
Yeah I am mostly speaking to the ones that we can buy in stores here in the states. also don’t forget that Oppo and OnePlus are essentially the same
This is very helpful review, thank you. I wonder if you could do a review to compare Samsung foldable phone versus this one.
I've seen some insane discounted purchases for the Open over in the US. You US guys should jump at this if you're in the market for a foldable.
I'm in Europe and sadly the deals ain't so great with no trade in offers at all.
I won't be buying the Open, but as a long standing OnePlus handset user I doubt you'll be disappointed with the Open & it's offerings.
If the Open is anything like the OnePlus handsets I've used, it'll be well put together & a pleasure to use .
Are software updates controlled by the carrier for this phone or is it more like Pixel where you get updates as Google provides them?
It’s not tied to any carrier so it would be as soon as OnePlus can implement the updates
Honestly it looks like OnePlus Open has better lighted photos, though ive seen some images from low light and they seem a bit rough sometimes. Low light video in particular. But im still considering the open.
Pics are bit and miss coming from an s23ultra
Because I’ve the iPad Pro m1 and a 13 pro max I think I’d be silly changing to a foldable right now.
The phone also has face unlock, at least to get into the phone. I don't think it's secure enough for payments or banking apps though.
It’s not. I use them both but I wish I could just authenticate payments with face unlock
I returned the Oppo Find N2 in early January this year after using it for a week. For someone who commutes around on public transport and single hand user of the phone, it was too heavy and bulky. Lots of times I almost dropped the phone. Good thing that OnePlus Open and Oppo Find N3 are thinner than N2, but the weight is heavier by few grams. Not entirely convinced yet.
An oppo find n2 is on the way to me. I think I messed up and shoulda waited for the oneplus. Might have to return it back to china.
The oneplus open is now apparently just 10 grams heavier than the iPhone 15 pro max now... Can give another try ig...
I really like the idea of the folding phone however, the price is something to be desired. For one, it is expensive as hell at launch and two, it is android so the price will drop quickly. So I’m contemplating whether to get this phone next year when the price drop significantly or buy an iphone which holds its value far longer.
I think I like the OnePlus camera results over the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
I do like this phone a lot, but I don’t like the idea of custom UIs and ROMs. I use both Android and iOS and I’m looking forward to getting a new Mac (first and last Mac was a 2019 5K iMac) to connect my gaming PC on and stream as well as content creation and more. My main device is currently an iPhone 11 and I’m thinking about getting the iPhone 15 Pro Max and then later on getting the OnePlus Open instead of the Google Pixel Fold since I last had the Google Pixel 4a.
seeing someone whos entire brand is apple and me being someone who switched off apple a while ago and has learned to hate them, I think this is confirmation I needed that I should indeed get this phone
You left the Apple sect. Strong! 😁
😂😂
I been listening to you on the podcast at 1.25 speed for a year now. I didn’t think you look like you do. Mind blown 🤯
😂 you probably shouldn’t have looked. Sorry to disappoint haha
Does anyone actually feel a need for a square form factor? I have no desire for a square screen, as cool as it is that they were able to design this technology as well as they have here.
Outdated information, the open is $200 off flat, no need to "trade in" anything. It's just a promo preorder discount
For real I’m considering changing my iPhone to an Oppo N3 that’s the same one plus open. Update: I already bought it and I'm 💯 happy with it!
Is the screen size better for videos?
I got a 14 pro max
Been using an Open as a test for my main phone simply to see how it would do in my ecosystem and I love it. I’m a huge supporter of Foldables and want Apple to make one. 15 Pro Max will be my final iPhone until they do a foldable, but I’ll keep my ecosystem in place. I put the Open into the phone slot, with BlueBubbles set up, and rocking my Apple Watch Ultra hooked up to WiFi Hotspot from the Open.
@mpeters97 could you explain how you are using your Apple Watch Ultra with the open in a little more detail? I'm considering going for the open and ditching my iPhone 14 Pro, wondering if worth keeping my Watch Ultra.
@@danielsmith4522 My specific use case does still rely on an iPhone (sort of)
Basically I have an iPhone that is up to date (13 Pro) that lives plugged in. I then have my Apple Watch Ultra that still technically talks with it, receives forwarded texts and notifications, and then when out and about connects to the Open’s wifi hotspot. I also have blue bubbles running for iMessage.
The fact the Open not only competes with the iPhone 15 Pro Max's camera, but is also comparable is incredible. As someone who's used a Fold 4, as great as that camera system was, it wasn't as good as my old S21 Ultra by a long shot. I'm very excited to get mine 😍
I have an iPhone 14 Pro and thinking of switching to the one plus open. Do you thing the upgrade would be worth? I’ve been an iPhone user since the past 8 years.
My kids have iPads, I have the Apple TV, watch ultra, MacBooks etc. I’m just worried that i might not feel at home when using or moving to android..😢
Did you do it? I got a 14 pro max and a 14 pro since I want a foldable but legit can’t get one from Apple
@@huskysharky9025 Nah, not yet. After a lot of research looks like the OPO is not worth the switch. May be Samsung fold 6 in the future but will wait. Getting updates that people who have switched and coming back to iOS in 3 months time. Ecosystem is the main reason and then the fluid workforce.
@@skazitube I'm not heavy into eco systems since I only currently have air pods. They don't sound as good on any other devices I own a 14 pro along side my 14 pro max in terms of having the best of both worlds if I could Id like to keep the max alongside the open
I am same situation than Ie youse from 9 years iPhone so ie think Ie will carry the 2
Wait did I hear right that unfolded the screen is only about an inch larger? If That’s true what’s the point?
Main screen is 6.3 inches and unfolded it becomes 7.8 inches.
That's a 1.5 inch difference.
Area wise the difference is 1.5*1.5=2.25 inch squared. The difference is definitely noticable and after using this larger display, it'll be hard going back to only carrying around 6 inch phones.
You can't go solely based on the size in inches because it's a completely different aspect ratio. If you just went based off the inches, the Z Fold 5's inner display that I'm typing this on is only slightly larger, but in reality it is a massive difference. The OnePlus Open has an even larger inner screen at a more square aspect ratio, so it should feel even more expensive. You should go look at a Z Fold 5 at Best Buy to get an idea.
I like my iPhone 15 PM and the OP Open so I carry both. They each have there pros and cons. I use the iPhone more on a day to day basis, but I use the Open more when I'm traveling.
Why one plus open then??? Get an iPad instead 😂
@@jakethunder6752because that is the best of both worlds, android eh iPhone
This is actually not oneplus's first foldable phone. This company was bought by OPPO and this oneplus open is the same phone as the oppo find n3 which only sells in China. They've made tons of foldable phones before.
finally someone who compared it to a flagship smartphone like the iPhone
Looks good. If it had a styles I would be 100% into it. Kind of a shame to have all that real-estate with no pen.
Apparently the Oppo pen does work with it but it isn't available in the US at least not yet anyways
I just got one yesterday, Still it’s getting set up
Does Android phone after some usage becomes slower? Hangs ?
Nah they’re fine now maybe after like four years
Why hasn't anyone said if it's compatible with micro SD cards
Just returned my 15 pro max and oneplus open is my king now
Even if Apple made their own foldable I still wouldn't buy it as you can't customize crap besides wallpapers
then the one million dollar question, can you use a case and magnetic attachment?
I really hope we dont get any green line issue in the ONE PLUS open
Don't forget, it have bigger ram and rom, bigger battery and screen is excellent.
Dan you watch the David Pakman show? Hell yeah brother!!!!!!!
I was surprised no one is bashing Samsung, why Samsung is not making/adding features like one plus fold. Then at the same time some people are bashing Apple
The fingerprint sensor is just a setup error. They're crazy accurate these days and fast, so try re registering your finger
Personally if i would get a foldable i would want the homescreen be the same on the smaller and larger screens. I would be confused if i would need to memorize 2 different setups.
Also i never got interested in foldables until oneplus open. The way it handled split screen is goat. Tbh i feel like tech reviewers are underrating it. It needs to be highlighted more. If apple does something like this, it will be over the internet, like apple invented something life-changing again.
I got the oneplus open, its the same. When i open it instead of showing only my first homepage, it also shows the second on the other half ot he screen.
@@HeyItsAvi90 yes that's what i prefer.
@@mrskye08 yeah its really usefull, i use 2nd page as my calendar so when i open the screen it shows my main page then on the side the calendar.
@@HeyItsAvi90 hahaha same! 😂
I prefer colours from the one plus it’s less processed than the iPhone
Watching this video on my one plus open ❤❤
At this time we are on the peak of smartphone desing the last design that we will see is the only flexible screen with out frame only screen.
It's unbelievable 3 trillions brand makes the worst optical zoom from all of the brands. I cropped both and iPhones takes blurred photos.
Good luck with the green lines/patches
add 5 icons in backgriound is possible ?
Not currently unless you use a different launcher
Just preordered one! SO excited.
Really liked your review! This is super high praise coming from a dedicated iPhone user.
Generally speaking, though, how anyone can do and experience all the things one can do and enjoy on Android, especially on a foldable like this, yet STILL supposedly "prefer" Apple's limited, restricted and non-customizable iOS - which looks and feels basically the same for each iteration, and lacks any true multi-tasking abilities - is beyond any level of comprehension. For years, Android has been just as smooth and reliable as iOS, yet still handily beats it with customization and multi-tasking. And, now, they got awesome foldables like this! Doesn't make any sense to be loyal to iOS, other than just "being used to it" and/or illogical brand loyalty. (And, this coming from someone who uses both, regularly.)
Can it compatible with oppo pen stylus?
From what I've read, and seen a couple of videos, the fine N3 stylus works on the Open
Why no wireless charging
Why one plus screen appears bit overexposed
If you prefer the under screen fingerprint reader then its going to require two sensors for both screen, maybe you just dont know how to use it, other reviewers praise it.
Well, you've got to try out the Honor Magic v2 - atleast phhysically speaking (and hardware as well to a great extent), it blows every foldable phone out there out of the water.
Missing good software though, compared to Samsung and OnePlus. For example how you can get a camera preview on the cover but cant get camera controls on there. Multitasking is worse too, can only put apps horizontally next to each other not vertically.
@@jdev6402 yes, I agree. The software doesn't seem to be up to mark or intuitive enough on the honor magic V2. However, I implore all foldable makers to set the honor magic V2 as a benchmark to beat when it comes to its physical & mechanical characteristics.
Color and white balance of the iphone photos look so bad... the ones from onePlus look much better, though too overprocessed at times.
It's actually a third generation foldable, not a first attempt. Just the first one distributed in the west.
suv vs sedan?
The Open is so dope. Such a good phone. OnePlus Gang all day😎
I am far too worried I’ll scratch the screen to bother with foldables.
These phones are far more durable than they used to be. You should still be careful with that interior screen but it’s not going to be scratched unless you are careless with it open
@@macrumorsMKBHD got dead pixels on the crease of his screen after 1 week though.
@FriedChairs I had many samsung devices refurbished after a few days
One plus open has me impressed ❤
The OnePlus Open is a third generation foldable, just not OnePlus's. The Open is just a rebranded OPPO FindN 3
And as far as foldables folding flat, the chines brands have been doing that for about 3 or 4 years now.
i'm surprised that macrumours is covering an android but then again, i don't really pay attention to this channel so this could be a normal thing. i'm happy to see some unbias reviews. ironically, from a channel aimed at apple stuff. kudos. I'm also glad that there is some form of competition in the fold section. I still can't justify the price for myself to get any of them but i like that it exists.
this is the first foldable that has piqued my interest and other reviewers are raving about it too including mkbhd
Apple makes a foldable. It's $2500-$3000 😂
Your probably not far off there. In my market an iPhone 15 pro max costs between 1500$-2000$ depending on version
I will get this or the Pixel Fold.
Yes
Am I the only one kind of worried about the completely folded design? I have the galaxy z fold 2 and I've never had issues with the screen. If I accidentally get dirt or the likes in my pocket it'll just fall through. On the other hand, I can only imagine dirt or sand getting stuck between and damaging the screens
It will not happen because it is folded flat the design of samsung is bad
@@jamesgumapac1615 well.. I actually got the oneplus open a few days after my comment because of all the rave reviews, and lo and behold, it happened. Luckily the phone itself was so riddled with errors the store took it back under warranty. It's really a shame though, as it was the nicest piece of hardware I've ever gotten my hands on.
Pictures are a mixed bag. Some of the 15 pics were better and some of the Open pics were better.
This is my favorite folding phone. However I prefer iOS so I stay put.
Same. Actually I just carry both 😂
I cannot stand plastic screens and creases. It’s a horrible trade-off for a foldable. Apple needs to make a foldable with 2 separate glass screens. (The inner bezels can be EXTREMELY thin as they will be protected when closed and also protected when open because it’s the center point. I’d gladly have the screens split for double glass.
there's no way u can fold the glass 😂😂
Definitely a niche product only for power users. For me, it's simply too thick and heavy. And the price tag is too high. My base iPhone 15 is *_already_* too expensive. (I previously owned a $300 OnePlus One, which I loved. Unfortunately, it died this year.)
Didn’t we stop using folding phones years ago? Why go backwards.
Not quite the same lol
In India iPhone is much costlier than open.
If Samsung had come up with this design from the start, they would of sold so many!!
I think it’s just a matter of time before Apple has a foldable.
Time is too long 😭
Keep them both.
It's night and day, the One+ is far superior in every way, Apple has not innovated for a very long time, such a shame as at one time everyone looked to them for the next big thing, they need to catch up fast...
Why? Apple doesn’t need to innovate
Hasn't innovated in a very long time....LMAO
Oneplus Open and Oppo Find N3 are the same phone and they are from the same parents company. So technically OnePlus have an idea of how to make a pretty good foldable phone. OPPO Find N3 for the East and Oneplus Open for the West.
Yep
The more moving parts you have on a device, the more fail points you have. I would be constantly worried about getting dirt inside the hinge or its durability. So foldable phones will never be my daily phone.
It's all just preference this phone has It's share of complaints as well...These small details don't matter to everyone, I have a Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the tall screen doesn't bother at all...I think this is a good phone and have no quarrel about it,there are however so many channels that always want to label a new phone the new Samsung killer or the new IPhone killer,it just won't happen and believe there are mostly biased people that do reviews...People should by what they want and enjoy the product the average consumer isn't utilizing not even half of the features and people go overboard trying with explaining what they like and don't like ,it's really not that serious besides the day that Apple decide to make a foldable phone people will overlook whatever flaws that the phone will have and yes it will be a lot of bias just because it's Apple 🍎...Either way people should by what they want it's their money and no matter how great of a device a company produces their will always be many knocking it simply because they prefer a different brand...
But is it as customizable as Z Fold 5?
Yes? It’s android. Male it whatever you want
@macrumors true. I was referring to having like a Screensaver on the front screen as well as the inner screen, things like that. I heard that it's not possible yet with the One Plus
Do not know if I would ever move to a fold smartphone. Do not see the need for me. Think it is a personal choice for each person.
Well it's kinda not oneplus first attempt beacuse oppo made this phone and their phone is the oppo fold n3 which is exactly the same phone with a different brand. Oppo has already made 2 more foldables so this is technically the third one. But this one seems to the wery good in many things. I'm also really hoping for apple to do a foldable but think it will happen in the nearest future.
if this phone would cost a bit less, id dump my iPhone despite being tied in ecosystem with apple watch, iPad and a mac
OMG why did they RUIN that beautiful screen with a punch hole? Fold 5 with below display camera is perfect!
If you NEED a better selfie cam there's one on the cover screen or better yet use the main camera which is something you cannot do on any candy bar...
Can this do UHD 60FPS in HDR? Because not having this is a dealbreaker for me (yes, Pixel 8 Pro I'm calling you out!).
No wireless charging is a bummer too but not necessarily a deal breaker.
But non hunting AF in low light (video) is a MUST these days...
iPhone 15 Pro Max is the best for me so far and I'm pretty satisfied with my Fold 5. Its audio capture for video is actually better than the iPhone 14 Pro Max (haven't had the 15 Pro Max in stormy weather yet) as its AGC isn't as crushing with impulse noise. I like to capture nocturnal thunderstorms so this is important. As is proper IP rating which I understand the Open IS but NOT dust proof. My other folds (Flip 3, Fold 3, Fold 4) are NOT dust proof either and all have survived hard days on a ranch on a UTV/Tractor where they were COVERED in dust so there's that.
I agree. Folding phones don’t really need to put a selfie cam on the cover screen. It’s totally pointless UNLESS you wanna use that large screen for video calls. My only thought behind why they do it
@@macrumors The behind screen camera is absolutely adequate for zoom calls.
Dan, the blue bird is dead. Unfortunately.
It's not clear to me how you case the OnePlus Open.
🎉game changer
Yes, ditch it, and never look back. Happiness is here to stay!
I like it 😊
