    This is the first foldable that has actually convinced me that there is a place for foldables beyond the brag factor and a few niche cases. Not sure it will ever be needed in my life, but if I was juggling a tablet and a phone, I’d definitely consider it.

      I think it's worth it I used to use a tablet a lot back than I switched from a iPhone 14 pro max to the Google fold, I originally got the pro max for the bigger screen but the best decision i made was getting the Google fold, love that I have a smaller screen in the front and bigger tablet screen when I open it fits better in my pocket too vs the pro max switching from Apple to Android wasn't that hard for me because I used to use a android tablet and out of all the android systems I like Google's better vs Samsung

    This the first non-samsung foldable to get my proper attention. And while I'm still far off from buying a foldable(like many other people), the fact that oneplus managed to cramp these specs into this phone and make it(albeit slightly) cheaper than the competition is a step in the right direction in making foldables more affordable for the average person.
    Also, I appreciate the new editing style. Probably one of the most pleasant reviews I've watched in a while☺️

    I just bought a new phone this year, but I think my next phone might be a foldable, since I constantly need to translate between languages using Google Translate. It would be much easier to have both apps open at the same time than tabbing back and forth between them. By the looks of the Open, foldables are finally mature enough to be worthwhile. I will seriously consider getting one for my next phone.

      Fair point, but when it's closed it's basically impossible to scratch the screen, and when it's open it's probably either being held by both of your hands or propped up on a table, so it seems unlikely that you could really cause much damage to it.

      I downgraded my OP 7 Pro as my second phone after i “upgraded” to iPhone 13 Pro for the compact size and good camera quality. Not going to lie, for many aspects 7 Pro it feels like a better phone compared to 13 Pro, in special for video consumption, 7 Pro screen it’s a beast. No notch, less black bars on the side, wide screen, and somehow 90 hz feels faster than 120 hz on my iPhone. I might try a Pixel inspired ROM since i’m not a big lover of OxygenOS but i’m too lazy ATM to install all the apps again. 😅

I know they're sister companies, but the fact it's the exact same phone and software just with a different logo is still weird.

I was blown away at how beautiful and well made this phone is. The video and audio quality is out of this world and the Hasselblad cameras are everything I expect from their glass. Although they didn’t let me keep the phone I had to ship it back to them. However I would pay the money for this phone out of my own pocket because it’s that good!

If they fixed their form factor and came down a bit in price, a lot of people might just want to buy them. The S Pen and Samsung Dex are some things that I really think complete the foldable experience, so I don't think I'm quite sold on this OnePlus. But its form factor, hinge and crease look quite a bit ahead of Samsung. Good job OnePlus!

    I do quite like the green color OnePlus have chosen as their kind of default the last few iterations. I think it's kind of funny how companies of course feel obligated to keep putting huge camera hardware to the back, because people who probably still aren't going to use a folding phone regardless have complained about it. I would rather them focus more on the battery autonomy. Typically with the Z Fold devices, they always seem to want to drain more while in your pocket than your standard slab style phone
