why all these 1 month review... 3 weeks review .... ended up being repeating materials and never really any real world use experience. You mentioned the charging speeds written on the specs, what about your REAL world test ? How did the charging perform ? u mentioned IPX4 which I can also read in its datasheet but have you tested anything at all ie (real world test) ? Oneplus already showed demo on the drag and drop feature into email. But did you test anything else ? does it work on whatsapp? does it work on other chat platforms ? which one did you test ? Why does it have a thicc black bar on the bottom during multi windows view around 12:07 ? how does the black bar compared to other folding phones when watching youtube or other media consumption ? does the larger screen real estate helps in media consumption or the 1:1 aspect ratio gives thicc black bars which eventually reduce youtube frame size compared to samsung ? We need info bro Michael. Not things that we already know. Please give us REAL 1 month review.
Totally agree! This is just like 1+ requesting them to churn out "another" review to maintain the hype. Please make a true "real" review for us. Looking forward and thanks!
i have had the Open for about 2 weeks ago. Been a Galaxy Z fold user since the 2nd gen, and have tried the pixel fold twice. By far (except samsung does have a slight edge on software implementation, especially when it comes to using multiple apps; the Open is 1A, tho) this is the best presentation of a foldable fold in the US. The only complaint is Samsung's hinge, particularly when it comes to holding different angle, has this thing beat. If you tilt the Open much more back than 90 degrees it will pop flat, while the current Fold Z 5 will hold any angle; a big plus if you like taking pictures. Beyond those 2 caveats, especially when it comes to the camera, Open wins. BTW, fantastic review. I just subscribed.
Got my OnePlus Open for $749 after they gave me $830 on a trade in for my OnePlus 11. The Open far and away blows the folds I've owned out of the water. As a matter of fact the Open is the best phone I've ever used! And I've had a ton! Thanks for the great review!
I'm on the same boat, imo the current wireless charging method reminds me of the super early days of "wireless earbuds" where a cable still connects left and right buds, "wireless" in a sense but not terribly exciting. The true wireless charging might never be a reality but I'm fine with cables.
Same, I havw wireless charging but I never use it, you still have to leave the phone where the "wireless" charger is connected by cable to the power outlet and then you can't pick it up while it's charging and it also charges way slower. Why is everyone making such a big deal about wireless charging???
Yeah. They cover 95% of the phone's usability. Not having wireless charging is not a deal breaker when you have fast charging (with it in the box none the less).
Samsung needs to adopt the same ratio . I just really hate the ZFold's narrow outer screen. If they can make this the same as the OnePlus Open or the S23 Ultra outerscreen, then I'm all up to changing to a foldable phone.
Hello Michael, this is a great video and I do love this phone. I am glad I skipped the Pixel fold, this is the One to get. And loved your photos section too 😊
Loved this review. I've been with Apple for quite a few years now. Hubby has had the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and now 5. I'm using the Apple 13 Pro Max. I was going to upgrade to the new 15 Pro Max, but started messing with the Flip, and found it "fun". I looked at several videos of the Galaxy Fold 5, but really wasn't impressed, then came upon your video. I'm with AT&T, and have already researched and found I can trade in my iPhone 13 Pro Max for the OnePlus! Hopefully, I can acclimate myself back into the android world. Thanks again for a great review!
I have a Fold 3 I bought on Swappa in mint condition for $525. I've had it nearly a year and really like it. When the Open makes it to Swappa, I'll probably upgrade primarily for the cover screen. I bought a stylus but rarely use it as it's a pain to carry and only works with the main screen.
There's many cases available for the z fold phones that carry the s pen it's not a pain at all just get a case for the phone that carry the s pen with it
@jumont23 don't buy from swappa they don't back up there phones so if you have a problem it's a huge hassle because they tell you that you have to go to pay pal to get your money back and you probably won't get it back so if someone on there sells you something that is broken you are screwed
Hi Michael. Great video as usual. Thanks for the details on the review. 1+ certainly impressed me. The hardware and software of the Open are great. Nice to see the addition of the taskbar/dock when you open the phone. I don't think their software is at Samsung's level yet but it would get better. I think Samsung took too long, I couldn't believe my eyes when they released the Fold 5 with no improvement. Well done 1+. Even though I am a Samsung fan, I am definitely going to get this phone.
Regarding the aspect ratio: I don't want to be offensive, but as long as you don't use a Foldable as your daily-driver and you don't stop looking at it from a slab-phone user's perspective, you will fail to see the reason for Z Fold's aspect ratio. The only manufacturer who nailed the aspect ratio is so far only Samsung. The book-style Foldables are for people who want a tablet which can become pocketable. The Z Fold is indeed the most pocketable book-style Foldable. Having an aspect ratio and size of a standard slab phone contradicts the pocketability. Whoever ends in using the cover screen most of the time, won’t need a book-style Foldable. Such a person is better off with a Flip: a slab phone which becomes pocketable. The main screen (inner-screen) is the most important one. That squarish main screen of 1+ Open neither looks nor feels like a tablet. If there is no difference between the landscape and portrait mode, the entire multi-tasking experience is not that optimal. Whenever I use my Z Fold5 one-handed, I use it in portrait mode because it is easier to hold. In case of 1+ Open and Z Fold in landscape mode, you’ll get quickly tired because the balance is different. I like the Open Canvas concept of 1+ Open, but there is much more to multi-tasking than this. I would have to write pages … Regarding the Pen: 1+ Open did not even mention the Pen support. Can you imagine why not to mention it while their main competitor has Pen support? Not every Pen works well. And just because a pen can be used it does not mean it is useful. And the S Pen works perfect and the tons of specially tailored features are also relevant. Another aspect that is extremely relevant is the Flex mode. 1+ Open supports more or less just the Camera App and UA-cam in this mode. But the Flex Mode supported in Z Fold is on another level, also with 3rd party software support it. And you can use it with literally with every app. There are so many other relevant aspects where You can see why the Z Fold is so mature. I think the reviewers should either compare the devices thoroughly and not selective (e.g., in case of camera just a few pictures in certain light condition, and leaving out the video part completely), or they should just tell what is good in the device in Focus without mentioning the competition only in aspects where the device in focus might have some advantages.
Correction, manufacturers have not struggled to make foldable with the proper aspect ratio and decent weight. Many manufacturers have done this for over a year now, but they were not released them outside of China. I am typing this on the Huawei mate X3, which I have had for 6 or 7 months, and is better than the oppo find open in pretty much all respects except for price and the fact that it does not have 5g (since the huawei has re released a 5g version called the Mate x5)
Vivo x fold2, honor magic v2, xiaomi mix fold3, phantom...etc off the top of my head other than the Huawei and the 3 mentioned in the vid. (oppo find n3) On your point of proper aspect ratio and decent weight, the honor magic v2 somehow jams a 5000mAh in there as the lightest and thinest of any foldables. Insane. I highy recommend checking these out before you buy as there are choices out there. Tho I've ordered the oppo find n3 1tb myself as a Samsung ultra/iPhone guy for years now. Im gonna miss the bluetooth pen productivity functions.
I hate youtubers (who mostly receive those devices for free) telling me something isn't recommended because it's expensive. LIke, they build the hype, than say you shouldn't spend you money on something. My financial decisions are none of your business.
The OnePlus open is not only the best foldable phone in America but I think it's one of the best phones in america. I would put it right up there with the s23 ultra and the iPhone 15.
I've had foldables since the ZFold 1. I'm typing this on my Lenovo X1 Fold. My concern is simple: foldable displays are simply more prone to failure as are the complex hinges. On OnePlus reddit subs, people actually complain about two - three month turn times for repairs. Until they have a better service network in the states, that's the single largest thing holding me back.
@@la10sooonyI have the OnePlus and the fold4, was planning to give the fold4 away. I can't do it just yet, the OnePlus has some software gliches, sometimes the keyboard just floats, some apps do the same thing, can't always share photos from the camera. Don't get me wrong, it's a good phone, it's software is just not as polished. Also not having a separate closed and open set ups makes a difference and not being able to stack widgets. The hardware of the 1+ is so much better, just not the software.
Just picked one up.....I've been using a Samsung Z Fold since the 2nd iteration and after using the One Plus Open I have to say I'm impressed ....if I was going to switch foldables this is the phone I would get. The front screen width is almost perfect....slightly bigger than the Z Fold which is just enough to type comfortably......MOST pictures looked better from the One Plus which was really an eye opener for me because I have been pleased with my Z Fold 5 and 6 pics BUT this One Plus Open produces noticeably brighter and better quality. Samsung will have to stop playing with their next Z Fold and put the BEST cameras inside. BIGGUP to One Plus for making an awesome phone.
Best foldable HARDWARE, absolutely agree. However, the Samsung Fold series still has better software, try using 3 applications at once, and you'll see how lacking the customization is on where you can place windows. If you want to resize applications, forget it, resizing doesnt work in many cases. The OnePlus also so much wasted screen real estate when using splitscreen mode. Apps render weirdly in some cases, and in other case when you pinch out to view 3 apps at once, the windows only take up 75% of the screen making everthing smaller and hard to read and navigate. Also try putting apps in horizontal layout spit screen mode, one plus doesn't allow you to do this and will default to a portrait view first, before allowing you to flip to horizonal through the split screen options menu. This requires addition steps, when you can do this from the getgo on the Fold. When viewing 3 apps in portrait mode (pinched out) , navigation of the middle app just breaks and refuses to work. Beautiful hardware...however, software is at least 2 years behind the Fold, and it shows.
I think not including wireless charging is just cheaping out and saying you went for fast charging instead of wireless is making excuses as you can have both. It's not one or the other, you can have both. It's an extremely expensive phone and it omitting such basic features is incredibly stupid.
The only thing is that whenever I'm in a situation where I forgot to charge my headphones, I can put on reverse wireless charging and charge it however other than that I never use it lol.
Love my samsung galaxy z fold but i gotta say, one plus definitely hit the ball out of the park with this one. I'm definitely considering this phone when i upgrade in the near future. It has a bigger outer display, 65w fast charging , a beautiful design, great cameras and samsung like multitasking 👏🏼... Great video josh 👍🏼😅
I have a wireless car mount and wanted to know will i have any issues placing the oneplus in the charger? I have not received the phone yet so was looking for information just in case i need to purchase a car mount thats not wireless.
All of that specs in just 1699$? Darn that a super great deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How i wish it will be released also here in the Philippines!
I have a OP10 Pro which has wireless charging. Used it once in my car. Dont see a benefit much when wireless is still wired and often in the same location as a charging brick with a cable. 🤷🏿♂️
Nice video! Can it open two instances of the same app on one screen for multi-tasking? As in, can I open two Google Sheets side by side to compare the figures in the Sheets? I can split two Google Sheets top and bottom on my android bar phone for vertical multi-tasking. Androids open multiple instances of Google Sheets. Can I use it on the Open?
Ive been rocking the open for about a week and its been working real nice but id be lying if i said i wasnt looking forward to the next gen pixel folds
Josh for all along bin asking to do mi reviews on Huawei flagships bt no way to my request since the USA BAN, don't know Yyy?, u live in US, plz do us Huawei phones too, thnx for the video, OnePlus done smth unique to competition this production around grt review en am ur fan bt u delay to make vids, love foldables since Huawei mate X produced, till now to Huawei mate X5 still priced en their brother Flips too
Foldable phones give me nightmares. Former fold4 user. Hinge gave up after 1.5yrs even though it was maintained in a spotless condition. Got it repaired somehow and luckily exchanged it for s23 ultra. Phew.
Nice one bro..I do love to pick my one plus open but I don't have the money now. I love the one plus open and with your review so really want to have one. Can you help?
Had one of these, screen died within 24 hours of little to zero use. Thankfully the support was great and they were very accommodating. I couldn't mess around with replacements on a design fault this big with a phone this expensive, so went for a refund. This is the nature of early adopters I suppose.
@@joshuabergeman354 sure, perhaps I was unlucky but I've already opted for the Z Fold 5 now and it's much more grown up and actually works which is nice. I'll give 2nd gen of this phone another glance though.
In the EU, The Oneplus open is about 200-300 dollar more expensive than the 512GB Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. So the flagship killer is more expensive than the flagship... won't be selling well here, because Samsung is considered a more premium brand, while Oneplus still is regarded a ore budget brand.
until when will iPhone step up to this evaluation? I love the flip design. I don't want to be that guy. However, it is my thing to acquire with my Mac transmitter.
traded my s23 Ultra on the One Plus Open. I loved it until I didn't. I was watching a video in the kitchen. I closed the phone and walked to my living room. I opened the phone and it had lines all over it. I called One Plus and shipped it in for repairs. They received it 1-19-2024 as of today 2-9-2024 I haven't heard from them. I emailed and chatted and they keep saying someone will get in touch with me. Like I said the phone is great until it isn't. They're warranty and repair is horrible. They're communication for repairs is beyond horrible.
I really liked one+ open/oppo N3... still considering...what holds me back: 1. No water resistance 2. No wireless charging - def. a plus esp if you are at work and you do not want to unplug/replug ur phone. 3. DEX or desktop mode... WHAT if they will partner with Windows? Hahahaha
TBF although it's not water resistant the other competition isn't completely waterproof either...they can only be under 1m of water for about 30min and non of the big three companies cover water damage on warranty. The open can still be dropped in water and taken back out in a timely manner. 2. I've used phones with wireless charging and phones without...and find using the wire more efficient as it's still the fastest way to charge the device and from what the open states these things charge extremely fast and have very efficient battery life. The only thing I could kinda agree on with you is the Dex...but future implementations could be adopted and if not it's not much of a deal breaker.... according to multiple readings/reviews this Open is the best foldable on the market bar non and is pretty much the best foldable money can buy.
I love my OnePlus Open but really wish it had wireless charging. Wired charging (even fast charging) requires me to think about it and create 20-40 minutes i won't need ky phone when it's low. With wireless, i just drop it on the stand on my desk or the cradle in my car which keeps it topped off. And at night, it's so much easier to find and use a wireless charger in dim lighting than plugging in USB-C.
why all these 1 month review... 3 weeks review .... ended up being repeating materials and never really any real world use experience. You mentioned the charging speeds written on the specs, what about your REAL world test ? How did the charging perform ? u mentioned IPX4 which I can also read in its datasheet but have you tested anything at all ie (real world test) ?

"Wireless"..you mean the way that you still have a wire?
There's no making mistakes here, the OnePlus Open is the best foldable in the market now
Yes sir!! Samsung Fanboys are in denial though.
@@raychow5419 it's very clear that the OnePlus Open beats the Samsung Z Fold
Samsung software is still better
@@raychow5419Have you used any of them? I mean as daily-driver? I have been using the Z Fold series since day one of Fold3 and now the Fold5.
@emekaaustin Samsung is better software wise, Oneplus better Hardware wise. Samsung camera is better as well.
9:20 Not to mention, no-one supports damage from chlorine or salt. Water immersion is usually tested in pure water, from what I've heard.

I just saw a lot of great improvements in foldable phone by Oneplus... Still wait to see its durability. I still don't trust the screen inside...
The OnePlus open is not only the best foldable phone in America but I think it's one of the best phones in america. I would put it right up there with the s23 ultra and the iPhone 15.
it is so good, that it is not for everyone. a high percentage of people aren't ready to handle Oneplus open on a daily. it's a power-user phone.

Until they have a better service network in the states, that's the single largest thing holding me back.
I couldn't agree more. plus it's a power user phone, which comes/inclined with handle efficacy. it is not for everyone, I suppose
Did I miss the battery part of this review? How's the battery? Especially after 1 month
Wow I didn't think the camera would be this impressive. OnePlus did very well
For the first time ever this is the one foldable that is growing on me good job one plus
Watching this on my OnePlus Open 😊
How's the phone after 3 months
how is the phone now after 4 months
No repsonse maybe it's broken and he exchanged it for another phone already.
Ive been using mine for a week (watching on it now) and I like it but its not without issues. Im not giving up my fold 5 for it at any rate
What issues did you face? 😅 I have fold 5 and I'm thinking about switching but I feel I'm going to regret it.

5:07 - last 100,000 folds!?!? I have always wondered about these folding phones and longevity. Great review!
Lightly*
From those gentle machine folds
None of those thumb in the crease or one hand flick, and slamming shut kinda folds.
@@grasz-- so true! So we're down to 50,000 😂. No way I can spend that much knowing I'm on a countdown.
The hinge will be fine but the screen will start peeling up in the middle like how my Samsung Fold 4 does now
Its 1000000 folds not 100k...it was a mistake on his part
i agree with the wireless charging that it's not efficient but having it as an option is a plus especially reverse wireless charging

Ahh this is the "real world" test im looking for. thanks for sharing.
Great video and finally some that put the comparison of the 512gb.... Planning on getting one!
I think not including wireless charging is just cheaping out and saying you went for fast charging instead of wireless is making excuses as you can have both. It's not one or the other, you can have both. It's an extremely expensive phone and it omitting such basic features is incredibly stupid.
I use wireless charging on my main phone while I sleep as you can grab your phone without dragging a cable with it
The only thing is that whenever I'm in a situation where I forgot to charge my headphones, I can put on reverse wireless charging and charge it however other than that I never use it lol.
Thank you GadgetMatch, your review.... As always is EXCELLENT 👍.
Your points is right-on.
your videos are just incredible to watch, i feel like home mate!
I want one, however the price is to steep and I don't understand why none of the carriers are not providing them yet?
I ordered my today on best buy an financed through progressive leasing on best buy should be here in 2days
Oneplus open or Honor Magic V2? Can't decide
Love my samsung galaxy z fold but i gotta say, one plus definitely hit the ball out of the park with this one. I'm definitely considering this phone when i upgrade in the near future. It has a bigger outer display, 65w fast charging , a beautiful design, great cameras and samsung like multitasking 👏🏼... Great video josh 👍🏼😅
I have a wireless car mount and wanted to know will i have any issues placing the oneplus in the charger? I have not received the phone yet so was looking for information just in case i need to purchase a car mount thats not wireless.
Michael Awesome video. Really enjoyed. Thanks so much for sharing. ✌️
All of that specs in just 1699$? Darn that a super great deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How i wish it will be released also here in the Philippines!
I have a OP10 Pro which has wireless charging. Used it once in my car. Dont see a benefit much when wireless is still wired and often in the same location as a charging brick with a cable. 🤷🏿♂️
I agree & also OP10 pro has pretty rapid charging when wired. I have the Oppo Find x5 with 120W charging, 0 to max in 30 minutes.
#Just TOP CLASS!! None can give the best review than this, not even better🤴
Nice video! Can it open two instances of the same app on one screen for multi-tasking? As in, can I open two Google Sheets side by side to compare the figures in the Sheets? I can split two Google Sheets top and bottom on my android bar phone for vertical multi-tasking. Androids open multiple instances of Google Sheets. Can I use it on the Open?
Hey Josh, what camera you using to record? Got dizzy due to the noticeable shifting of focus.
Watching this video on my one plus open..
I had Samsung z fold prior,but i think one plus open is better than samsung z fold
Unfortunately the oneplus (oppo) is USD 200 more expensive than the z fold 5 where i am at. and no trade in promotion
Your video creation is informative and illustrative entertaining. Thanks for the information. 😎💯💪🏾👍🏾
This phone looks interesting. But i absolutely love my pixel fold. Think will wait till next year t9 see what the fold 2 is offering
Ive been rocking the open for about a week and its been working real nice but id be lying if i said i wasnt looking forward to the next gen pixel folds
I have the z fold 5 and the open now, i'm trying to sell the z fold now. I love the one plus.
Lol don't do it
Excllent review , ordered mine replacing z fold 4
How is it
Josh for all along bin asking to do mi reviews on Huawei flagships bt no way to my request since the USA BAN, don't know Yyy?, u live in US, plz do us Huawei phones too, thnx for the video, OnePlus done smth unique to competition this production around grt review en am ur fan bt u delay to make vids, love foldables since Huawei mate X produced, till now to Huawei mate X5 still priced en their brother Flips too
Thanks for this great content I'm buying this phone tonight. 👍👍👍👍
Foldable phones give me nightmares. Former fold4 user. Hinge gave up after 1.5yrs even though it was maintained in a spotless condition. Got it repaired somehow and luckily exchanged it for s23 ultra. Phew.
Nice one bro..I do love to pick my one plus open but I don't have the money now. I love the one plus open and with your review so really want to have one. Can you help?
I bought one and love it, thank you for the video
Aside from the zoom, I think the camera is a bit overrated. Its not the Z killer some people have made it out to be.
Having both devices i agree 100%
Got used to fast charging so don't miss my wireless charging.
Bring it outside on a cold or humid day and see it moisture gets in the cameras lenses it's happening alot this is a big problem
I live in Western New York, we have nothing but wet cold humid days. I had my Open for 2 weeks now and I've had no moisture buildup.
Im in Canada and have been to numerous outdoor events and zero issues
Michael does it come with esim only or physical and esim?
It has a dual nanoSIM slot. It also supports eSIM.
@@gadgetmatch thank you so Michael, it is funny that GSMArena and even OnePlus Open site only mentions the esim
And please let me know the song you play when you say a confident snap please tell me the song name
2 physical sim cards for USA????????????
Caught that Spongebob meme insertion at the mention of number of hinge parts 🤣 #genius (Also, damn it...I, now, wanna trade in my Z Fold 4!)
add 5 icons background is possible ?
Very well made review Michael!! I really liked it.
Are you reviewing Honor magic v2?
Had one of these, screen died within 24 hours of little to zero use. Thankfully the support was great and they were very accommodating. I couldn't mess around with replacements on a design fault this big with a phone this expensive, so went for a refund. This is the nature of early adopters I suppose.
I've had mine for almost a month now and even with a drop on hard concrete there's very little I can complain about.
@@joshuabergeman354 sure, perhaps I was unlucky but I've already opted for the Z Fold 5 now and it's much more grown up and actually works which is nice. I'll give 2nd gen of this phone another glance though.
EXCELLENTLY PRESENTED AND APPRICIATE ONE OMTH REVIEW
In the EU, The Oneplus open is about 200-300 dollar more expensive than the 512GB Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. So the flagship killer is more expensive than the flagship... won't be selling well here, because Samsung is considered a more premium brand, while Oneplus still is regarded a ore budget brand.
Does the OnePlus open have a selfie camera?
I love my OnePlus Open. I just wish I could find some premium cases for it. Case manufacturers really need to step up
Absolutely right. The included casse gathers dust at the edges
Well done Michael. Enjoyed the video. Sent from my OnePlus Open 😜

Is this camera going to be better than my find X2 pro?
nice review... but no comment regarding battery life....
support the underdog
Woah what was that fold phone at the beginning?
Edit: that Find N looks hot af🔥
Oppo find n3 flip
Yeah Find N3 Flip is great.
Generally wireless chargers are 15w and its a bit slow for today's standards and high end phones with bigger batteries.
If you live in a colder climate your camera lens might fog up. I returned.... 😞
Помогли разобраться с управлением многооконностью. Спасибо большое!
until when will iPhone step up to this evaluation? I love the flip design. I don't want to be that guy. However, it is my thing to acquire with my Mac transmitter.
That Camera bump is a turn off
A very comprehensive video 📹 ❤️
Does it support displayport over USB-C?
Yes
Waiting for a foldable that will have an ip68 rating, until then, I'm not rich enough to care. But I want one so much
Dual SIM? International? That is what I need.
Am a lover for oneplus phones but the open isn't available in my country yet in Singapore :')
It's not coming. Only Oppo Find N3 available in Singapore.
traded my s23 Ultra on the One Plus Open. I loved it until I didn't. I was watching a video in the kitchen. I closed the phone and walked to my living room. I opened the phone and it had lines all over it. I called One Plus and shipped it in for repairs. They received it 1-19-2024 as of today 2-9-2024 I haven't heard from them. I emailed and chatted and they keep saying someone will get in touch with me. Like I said the phone is great until it isn't. They're warranty and repair is horrible. They're communication for repairs is beyond horrible.
I really liked one+ open/oppo N3... still considering...what holds me back:
1. No water resistance
2. No wireless charging - def. a plus esp if you are at work and you do not want to unplug/replug ur phone.
3. DEX or desktop mode... WHAT if they will partner with Windows? Hahahaha
TBF although it's not water resistant the other competition isn't completely waterproof either...they can only be under 1m of water for about 30min and non of the big three companies cover water damage on warranty. The open can still be dropped in water and taken back out in a timely manner. 2. I've used phones with wireless charging and phones without...and find using the wire more efficient as it's still the fastest way to charge the device and from what the open states these things charge extremely fast and have very efficient battery life. The only thing I could kinda agree on with you is the Dex...but future implementations could be adopted and if not it's not much of a deal breaker.... according to multiple readings/reviews this Open is the best foldable on the market bar non and is pretty much the best foldable money can buy.
So... no dead pixels?
Has anybody who has one of these phones had the fogging issue with the camera
No fogging issue on my unit
When did you get yours?@@Coolsmooth100
@@Coolsmooth100 seems to be a few people with the problem not good on such a high price phone
@@aidansherry12all phones have a few issues. Even the newest iPhone just released.....
Had mine a week, not had any issue.
Just traded in my Fold 4 and got oneplus open for $810 today !!!
This feels like a day 1 video, don’t see where the 1 month came in
I love my OnePlus Open but really wish it had wireless charging. Wired charging (even fast charging) requires me to think about it and create 20-40 minutes i won't need ky phone when it's low. With wireless, i just drop it on the stand on my desk or the cradle in my car which keeps it topped off. And at night, it's so much easier to find and use a wireless charger in dim lighting than plugging in USB-C.
4:50 lmao
Excellent en cheap, am buying plz
I wish it will be available here in Calgary,Canada😅
I want it, getting one soon
