Does the OnePlus Open change your perspective on Foldables in general? To see why I think the Google Pixel 8 / 8 Pro have problems: ua-cam.com/video/3ZDcr1icSo4/v-deo.html To check out the Opera Browser: opr.as/Opera-browser-Arun_Maini
Also, I feel like they could have made a lower version with 12GB + 256GB and could've easily priced it at $1499, and that would've been such a crazy VFM at that price
would never buy One+ phoen ever again after One Plus 1.. camera is rubbish, software is rubbish, updates are also rubbish. Buy OPPO equivalent... it is much better. Yes they are the same sompany but R&D is OPPO and the left overs goes to One+
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.
As someone who used to lug around a phone, tablet and laptop for work... Switching to a Z fold was a great change and I don't see myself going back. Of course my needs aren't the same as everyone else's
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
@@Josue-cp5ysthat's probably because google makes android lol 😅 But yeah you're right, I fell in love with the pixel 7 pro And am not sure if I should get this oneplus fold, since it seems so good, or the pixel fold or the galaxy fold 5 True say, that galaxy fold 5 looks really good, so I need to make a choice 😅
To be honest these features were easily possible for samsung but they chose to ignore it coz there’s no competition in the market. Now OP Open is the standard to beat in foldable, lets see how other companies respond
that thud when opening and closing is immaculate and sends down chills to the spine for it will flood your brain with nostalgia from the flip phones back in the Nokia/Symbian days.
This. Split screen on other android phones was laughably dumb trying to squeeze 4 tiny windows on a 6" screen. This implementation makes so much sense and I'd be on board Apple using this style vs other android phones
it's already there on the base android system, 13 got a great rework on the tablet experience with a better dock and the 3 windows at once, companies just reskin the ui in the end
Really appreciate the changes which you made in editing. Less text, sound effects and now I can focus more on you and what you’re trying to make us understand about the product. Great job team!!! 🎉🎉
Wow! First time I'm actually impressed by the foldable, especially the multitasking stuff. The dock at the bottom is almost a carbon copy of what Samsung has with their tabs but they've done better with the "virtual screen" as Arun said. Samsung better take notes and I might just take the dive to the Fold 6
@@phoenix5054it's technically a gen 2 since oneplus oppo (and vivo) are all intertwined because they have the same parent company, that's why oxygenos look so much like color os
the dock and 3 windows at once feature are also part of the base android system since 13 that for tablets got a great rework but as all things the applications companies need to support this in order to work correctly
This is the first time I've seen a foldable and thought 'This is actually functionality to match its form!' Hopefully other brands will follow in that software style, it's a game changer!
I haven't owned a OnePlus since the 3, but the software/UI optimizations in this product make it a really compelling entry into the segment! Intriguing...
oneplus improved quite a lot over the years. those who say it should be cheaper or the brand is no longer good as it was. they just don't understand tech
The thing I like is that OnePlus has always been there company to follow on immediately to some revolutionary business idea. But they really took their sweet time on the folding phone business and when they did enter this market, they entered with a bang.
@@Black-Circle Oppo is the parent company, and yes they share the same rnd team, but OnePlus is a premium segment, which tho similar to oppo has several tweaks to make their phones significantly better compared to the others, so ye, they r not one, they are 2 distinct companies with different intrests
@@metaversewr8827Dude what are you on about. Oppo makes premium phones too. Just how samsung has a phone in every price segment so does oppo. Also every “one plus” phone is also an oppo phone. This foldable is notting special. Theres a bit of software difference otherwise- yes they both are the same. (I dont remm the exact name but oppo has the same foldable phone too)
@@aviral1600 clearly u don't know how or who these companies Target....for instance, OnePlus targets a more premium experience, while costing slightly more, this can clearly be seen in various aspects such as add free and bloat free software, OnePlus also has an edge in haptics, hence overall focusing on a more premium high end experience, thus they call themselves 'flagship killers', not saying they are completely different from oppo, rather, they are a much more refined company, targetting people from a higher price point providing top notch specs, as mentioned OnePlus is nothing but a subsidiary or oppo, just like how Iqoo is to Vivo, so Please Understand what I wrote before replying.
This is it. THIS is a worthy successor to my Surface Duo 2. The multitasking aspect of running even more than two apps at the same time is so amazing! I need this!
The phone flopped because of its terrible software at launch. Not because of its design. The concept of dual screens was, and always has been, an under appreciated concept for a long time in the mobile space.
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 LOVE this phone!!! I love the attention to detail, and attention to issues with foldable. My favorite part would have to be the lining or whatever it is, so when it's closed it doesn't get dirt and crumbs and whatnot on the inside screen. Pretty amazing
I've seen a lot of reviews on this phone today and by far yours is the most in depth, informative, and has focused content for things users will actually leverage on a daily basis. Great job!
The split screen mode and the incredible cameras are so cool! These features make this foldable phone actually seem like it could be worth the extremely expensive price!
As a foldable phone, OMG! Out of all the ones I've seen from Mark, Unbox Therapy, and other UA-camrs who have shown different phones, this one beats them all so far. It also helps that the OS is actually good when it comes to having more than one app active at a time when using other apps, and it just shortens a bit, but not to the point where you can't see. I love that you can have three apps open and switch between them like tiles
All those reviewers have dropped reviews of this exact phone today and also your making it seem like they reviewed specific phones and each reviewer is tied to a certain foldable phone or something. They all reviewed all the same foldables before and so has Whosboss aswell. So it's not like he's the special one who picked this foldable to solely review as his own. Also your very first sentence makes it seem like you identify as a foldable phone 😂. Your whole comment is just all messed up lol Get it together brodi.
I’ve been an iPhone user since the iPhone 3. I’ve had all of them. I’m tempted to try this one out for a while. 😮. Awesome new editing style too, Arun!!
I've been waiting for a foldable where I don't have to compromise on the specs for about 6 years. I'm 100% buying this. And I hope onePlus is successful for this
God I cannot stress how GOOD it is to have the outer display be a normal aspect ratio. Its for quick tasks, yes, but at the same time it isn't an eyesore to look at. Im excited to see what they have in store for the Open 2
The alert slider is basically for when you are at an office meeting or in crowds where you dont want to take out your phone but want to put it to silent, So technically it is the perfect position as you dont have to keep finding it deep in your pockets
I've been. A OnePlus user since the 1+1 now. Never had one without the slider. I never really gave that slider much attention but when I got a non-1+1 job phone recently, I immediately noticed just that. I enter a professional setting, I flick that switch and I know my phone won't bother me. Such a handy thing. Not having it on the job phone really bothers me.
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.
I personally don't split screen i always open my windows in floating window similar to how windows does it, which in my opinion is better than having two apps in split screen
or maybe, if you are having to constantly translate, just memorize the concerned language(s)? I don't see how it is so difficult that you'd rather spend 1800 usd for such a task unless there is some other appeal to it
@@whyisitsodifficultomakeahandlewell unfortunately we're talking a myriad number of languages, including English, Arabic, Hebrew, Spanish, French, Italian, Turkish, Russian, Romanian, Chinese, Korean and Japanese.
Excellent review I was on the fence about the phone but the realistic colors, drang and drop, and the pros and cons of the cameras. Now I feel more comfortable upgrading from my fold 4.
Thanks for your honest review. I was on the lookout to upgrade my galaxy fold 3, but it seems my current phone is doing remarkably well against even newer galaxy folds and any other foldables, although bit slow, but not worth spending that extra amt for that small improvement.
That multi-screen system is pretty nifty, definitely a step in the right direction. I wonder if they've been working on fleshing it out for Android 14? 14 is supposed to have better support for large screens, which bodes well for foldables in particular.
It would be cool if they came out with a smart watch that had a fold out screen. You get the additional screen real estate along your arm, or just fold away to the usual square screen. And if they could get it a bit thinner.
@@parwiesshahsavari5604 Ironically, it would fold out to the size of an old iPhone. And if the base where it connects to the strap could swivel/rotate, you could either fold it out to landscape or portrait mode ;)
@@chefskiss6179can't even imagine how thick that would be, I'd say we better wait a little for technology to evolve and for chips and batteries to become smaller, this is a genuinely great idea that I'd love to see functioninh someday!
Ok. I have to say something. From this point onwards, you can really tell than Arun's content is stepping up on a another level. And it is amazing as always and it is basically 0 percent clickbait. So happy to be a subscriber to this channel.
Let me write something here. This is the very best implementation of multitasking I've ever seen on any smartphone period. Great job to the software engineers!
OnePlus sent us one to film a video for our instagram page but couldn’t talk about it publicly until the release due to our contract . I honestly must say this phone is VERY impressive. 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!
They sent you one? Really? No offense but me and everyone else be doubting you with you 900 subs. And yes that's a lot but still they'd be better of sending one to Arun or Parker Burton aka real techsperts
Being their gen 1 I'd expect it to be complete rubbish but it seems decent! I love seeing more competition enter the space. Edit: forgot they're owned by bbk and already made the oppo find n.
First foldable I've seen with an actualy aesthetically pleasing design. I really like it. Still, I'm most bothered by the plastic folding screens and I think they're just not for me until they're more durable.
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.
You haven't mentioned this, but the OnePlus Open has an anti-reflective coating on the inner display. Samsung doesn't have this on their foldables, so the screen is very reflective in my experience, just like the lower end iPads :P
@@senpaisan7818 Samsung’s foldables are way more reflective than Oppo’s displays, Oppo’s Find N2 devices have anti-reflective coating just like this :)
A small note , OnePlus is bringing back some old OnePlus specs into this year's flags. Like the new OnePlus open has a 48 mpx ultrawide camera. Which we used to see in 2019-2021 in OnePlus phones. They were known as the best ultrawide camera in the smartphone industry for a long time. ❤ So welcome back OnePlus 🎉
Absolutely dude I'm on my 7 pro now, best phone I've ever had, 8gb ram, etc , bloody love the speakers,, its so loud, but good loud, not tinny, u actually get bass
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. 😅
@@liviurosca yeah I know well i suppose your age and the generation you grew up in will have alot to do with what you look for in a phone, i mean im actually 36 tomorrow :-):-)can't wait for my jordan 5s,,but when you mentioned one of the reasons being you changed because of the camera (an to be fair thr compact size makes sense to me) but i couldn't care less about the cameras on phones, 5 years ago they were good enough for me,,no notch is gr8, and as o said on my previous comment, the bloody speakers are SO GOOD, and having Dolby atmos with my high res audio headphones is also bloody good, the only complaint I have is the curved screen, it can get a bit annoying with accidental touches, but the new iPhone has got some pretty good reviews, don't worry ive stopped rambling,:-) ill always be android, when i decide to get another phone, it will probably be the zte axon 40 ultra pro, have a look at some reviews of that if you've not seen it, it's a beast, you take care :-)🎹(yes I'm a musician)
Really you are one of the most honest tech product reviewer but you intentionally keep the screen out of any glare and reflection to hide the hinge mark and I didn't expect that
Hey Arun, just wanted to say thanks for your insightful review of the OnePlus Open. Your points about the phone's design, performance, and camera were spot on, and I really appreciate the time you took to go in-depth on the phone's software features. I was never really into foldable phones but this one was definitely a mind changer! My favourite part of this phone was the hardware, specially the hinge development, not only for the sus reference but also cuz hinges are the biggest weakness of foldable phones.
Love how more and more foldable/flippable products are being developed. Someday the prices will drop enough and quality, good enough for us plebians to afford it lol. Love your content and your commitment to produce such high quality vids at such high frequency, cheerio!
Love your video! The unbias analysis made me a fan! What urks my soul about some bloggers and media about this phone compared to the Z fold...umm...WE DO REMEMBER THAT THE PURPOSE OF THE OUTSIDE SCREEN ISN'T TO GIVE YOU A BIG SCREEN. IT DOES WHAT IT'S SUPPOSE TO AND WHEN YOU REALLY NEED TO MULTI-TASK AND ALL THAT JAZZ, YOU OPEN TO THE BIGGER SCREEN 🤦🤦♀️Who will buy a folding phone that they don't need to open? 🤔🤔🤔
Been using Oneplus on a daily basis since the Oneplus 1. Never been more happy with a phone! Still rocking the 7 pro. Might buy the next model as this foldable is stupid expensive
Always been a Galaxy Note guy. Just love the big screens. When the fold came out, I knew I had to have it. I have the Fold 3 and the Fold 5. These folding tablet phones are definitely the hottest thing on the market. I like this one, but hate that pizza camera on it. Just looks like a dinner plate on a dining table.
Also, I feel like they could have made a lower version with 12GB + 256GB and could've easily priced very cheaper, and that would've been such a crazy VFM at that price
@@Reinturtle That's true. Also OnePlus wanted to look better on paper as compared to their competitors. The person who is spending 1699 wants the best phone and wouldn't compromise for 100 dollars, thus they maxed it out.
@Reinturtle Exactly this, u can look up the spot prices of lpddr and the storage difference on premium nvme ssd's with a manufacturer's markup is literally about $10 from 256gb-512gb. So like $5-8 for these companies
idk, I doubt it would increase or decrease by ~70 usd and if you are already willing to splash out 1740 usd, why not just choke up a few more bucks? I think there was a psychology study based on a similar mindset but I can't remember but either way, it is logical.
One of the few tech channels that feels like the videos are actually improving over time. Appriciate the bits of critical thinking, deeper than any other video ive seen on this phone.

At some point in the future, I'd like to get a foldable like this. I don't know what to expect from next year's Samsung. 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've been following this channel for many years, and one noticeable issue is the inconsistency in the reviews. They tend to either accentuate the positives and downplay the negatives of certain phones while doing the opposite for others. It would be great if all phones were evaluated on an equal footing.
A +1 to this. Originally, I thought it was Arun's preferences, but the coloured judgement permeates right through tech reviews and reviewers here. I like that Arun is British, but he tries very hard to impress our American friends.
Have u been awake for the past 4 years or are u just intentionally ignoring the miss after miss after miss after miss they had until this phone since the 7 pro? 😂
Pre ordered my One+ Open last night (19/23) and paid deposit, hopefully all goes well and it'll be delivered on 25/10/23 as my Fold 4 was delayed multiple times 🤦 This is the YT review I've been waiting for and it did not disappoint!!! My current daily driver is the Fold 4 while I waited for the Oneplus Open and will be interesting how they compare to each other. Nice phone, less than groovy name imo - One+ Fold sounds more catchy (unless Samsung has the "fold" trademarked) Always loved One+ brand for their original design & the fact they still pack EVERYTHING you actually need ie case & fast/quality lead & charger. Pre-order comes with the Pro Buds 2 which is a nice bonus but a trade in value would of been appreciated as its more convenient than selling online etc but we'll see how it goes for a week or two before fully committing, although I can't see a reason atm to switch back. Love the videos as always.
The fact that this is OnePlus' first attempt at a foldable phone really makes me excited for the next generations of this phone. They managed to get quite a lot right and solved annoyances with the competition's offerings. With more development and optimization, this could easily be THE phone to beat in the foldables market.
Also, I feel like they could have made a lower version with 12GB + 256GB and could've easily priced very cheaper, and that would've been such a crazy VFM at that price☺
The thing that sells me is the bigger screen capability I like it it’s why I like tablet screens instead of phone screens but having that mixed with a phone brings more portability, phone capability, and tablet capability so having all that is the selling point not the multiple apps open
I used to be a big OnePlus fan. Had a 3T, 6T and then an 8. With the 8 I was never that impressed with it the way I was the previous models. They used to be the budget kings and just lost their way into being a middling smartphone brand. Ended up switching over to Pixels and I've been quite happy. But this is the innovation OnePlus needs. They can do great things if they choose to. It seems like they've been sitting dormant for awhile now and this is a great step in the right direction. Their audience was always the tech savvy and this is a great way to grab back their attention.
I had Samsung galaxy note 8 and it had an amazing Multi tasking experience featuring up to 5 apps in pop ups. The ‘edge’ apps feature existed since Note 4 edge and has been so useful all along. Samsung was always ahead in the software game. Finally power users have the foldable phone options.
Its fine lad. You atleast have a foldable. Which is very few people can have right now. Besides, it's still a foldable. Most of what he had said is more of QOL features or efficiency so it's no biggy. Use it as much and take care of it until you need to replace it.
I've been looking forward to seeing what One+ would bring with this foldable. It looks stunning, particularly in that green color. I think the only thing that disappoints is the lack of wireless charging. I've kind of gotten used to that with my current phone, so paying $1600 for a phone that doesn't do it seems counterintuitive. I'm certainly not a "power user," but I find the foldable screen tech really compelling, and being to view and interact with things on that larger screen is pretty attractive. I've heard a number of things aren't really optimized for the inside screen's aspect ratio, but that game you kept showing in the demo seemed to fill the screen well enough, even if there was a bug in the render. So, now I'm at that point where I'm asking myself, "If I'm willing to drop $1300 on an S23 Ultra (or maybe the S24 Ultra if I wait a month), why not cough-up the extra $300 and get the One+ Open? It's tempting. Very, very tempting. Keep watching reviews like this in hopes of finding something that'll tip the scales.
@@juhokokkonen6518 - I was stuck trying to decide between the S23U, the Z-Fold 5, or the One+ Open. I went with the Z-Fold 5. I've had it for a couple weeks now and am very happy with it. Easy to use one handed and the larger inner screen is excellent.
I feel like im the only one on Earth that can't care less for the wireless charging gimmick 😂 The only thing that would actually add to this form factor would be taking a look at the early Galaxy Notes by adding a pen that can be hidden inside the phone.
There's certainly a big disadvantage when considering this phone for purchase considering such heavy price. What are your views on this? 1. Very very poor touch response rate - Oneplus 11 5G has upto 1000Hz touch response rate; Oneplus Open has only upto 240Hz 2. Low Resolution than Oneplus 11 5G - Oneplus 11 5G has 3216*1440 (QHD+), 525 ppi; Oneplus Open has 2440*2268 (2K), 426 ppi
Great video as usual, but I miss the small icons with timers for different topics/sections in the video. That gave an overview of where you are while talking and I was not lost if I got distracted for a second in the middle.
Does the OnePlus Open change your perspective on Foldables in general?

U used to be unbiased but after your review with s23 vs iphone 15 now u look biased,
Trust me if this was Apple introducing such features, people would've gone crazy! OnePlus really got this one right!
The fact that u guys ALWAYS bring up Apple in non Apple videos shows they must be doing something right, or you're just mad, or both.
probably apple will make the features more appealing with extra gimmicks that works on apple ecosystem

True say, that galaxy fold 5 looks really good, so I need to make a choice 😅
This is actually wild. Hopefully these kinds of features can go on more foldable phones, because these are brilliant features for this hardware
Is there a Huawei p50 in your backyard till now.mrwhosetheboss
You should make a video every day like on Huawei,honor, Xiaomi, Samsung and other companies also videos of laptops and gadgets ❤❤❤
To be honest these features were easily possible for samsung but they chose to ignore it coz there’s no competition in the market. Now OP Open is the standard to beat in foldable, lets see how other companies respond
that thud when opening and closing is immaculate and sends down chills to the spine for it will flood your brain with nostalgia from the flip phones back in the Nokia/Symbian days.
How likely is a grain of sand or dirt going to damage the screen when it SNAPS shut on it though??
Wow the multitasking is brilliant. Should be the norm for bigger screens.

Wow! First time I'm actually impressed by the foldable, especially the multitasking stuff. The dock at the bottom is almost a carbon copy of what Samsung has with their tabs but they've done better with the "virtual screen" as Arun said.
Samsung better take notes and I might just take the dive to the Fold 6
its the oppo find n3 fold man. same device lol. one plus didnt do nothing
Meh. It’s still a gen 1 product. Wait for a year before the issues arises.
@@phoenix5054it's technically a gen 2 since oneplus oppo (and vivo) are all intertwined because they have the same parent company, that's why oxygenos look so much like color os
the dock and 3 windows at once feature are also part of the base android system since 13 that for tablets got a great rework but as all things the applications companies need to support this in order to work correctly
@@phoenix5054technically.... it's a gen 3 product now, it's the exact copy of the Oppo Find N3
This is the first time I've seen a foldable and thought 'This is actually functionality to match its form!' Hopefully other brands will follow in that software style, it's a game changer!
I haven't owned a OnePlus since the 3, but the software/UI optimizations in this product make it a really compelling entry into the segment! Intriguing...
Don't go for it ,there is still green line on screen issue which supposed to be solved by now.but I have seen it yesterday On my friend s 9R .
oneplus improved quite a lot over the years. those who say it should be cheaper or the brand is no longer good as it was. they just don't understand tech
2:14 the way “ the hinge “ had the animation was funny and mind blowing 😂😂😂😂
The thing I like is that OnePlus has always been there company to follow on immediately to some revolutionary business idea. But they really took their sweet time on the folding phone business and when they did enter this market, they entered with a bang.
u mean oppo
@@Black-Circleoneplus
@@Black-Circle Oppo is the parent company, and yes they share the same rnd team, but OnePlus is a premium segment, which tho similar to oppo has several tweaks to make their phones significantly better compared to the others, so ye, they r not one, they are 2 distinct companies with different intrests
@@metaversewr8827Dude what are you on about. Oppo makes premium phones too. Just how samsung has a phone in every price segment so does oppo. Also every “one plus” phone is also an oppo phone. This foldable is notting special. Theres a bit of software difference otherwise- yes they both are the same. (I dont remm the exact name but oppo has the same foldable phone too)
@@aviral1600 clearly u don't know how or who these companies Target....for instance, OnePlus targets a more premium experience, while costing slightly more, this can clearly be seen in various aspects such as add free and bloat free software, OnePlus also has an edge in haptics, hence overall focusing on a more premium high end experience, thus they call themselves 'flagship killers', not saying they are completely different from oppo, rather, they are a much more refined company, targetting people from a higher price point providing top notch specs, as mentioned OnePlus is nothing but a subsidiary or oppo, just like how Iqoo is to Vivo, so Please Understand what I wrote before replying.
This is it. THIS is a worthy successor to my Surface Duo 2. The multitasking aspect of running even more than two apps at the same time is so amazing! I need this!
Forget the surface duo folding phone that phone already got thrashed
Pretty much any foldable is a worthy successor to the awful surface duo. Lmao
The LG v60 could run three apps simultaneously with the extra screen case
The phone flopped because of its terrible software at launch. Not because of its design. The concept of dual screens was, and always has been, an under appreciated concept for a long time in the mobile space.
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 suggest u watch the video about the Tecno Phantom Fold V
my uncle has the fold 5 and all I want is to exchange my 13 pro max with it
You mean Oppo*
This is why oneplus is a flahship killer, their phone qualities are insane
Considering its 512G storage and RAM (double what Samsung is offering), it is inexpensive for a foldable.
I LOVE this phone!!! I love the attention to detail, and attention to issues with foldable. My favorite part would have to be the lining or whatever it is, so when it's closed it doesn't get dirt and crumbs and whatnot on the inside screen. Pretty amazing
I've seen a lot of reviews on this phone today and by far yours is the most in depth, informative, and has focused content for things users will actually leverage on a daily basis. Great job!
Foldable phones are the phone which every body is excited for but rarely buys
Bluds got a point
Still too expensive.
Yeah because you can buy 3 mid range or 2 high end smartphones and tape them together for the same price 😂
@@KieranCrown true
@@KieranCrownexcatly and they not gonna break easy.
The split screen mode and the incredible cameras are so cool! These features make this foldable phone actually seem like it could be worth the extremely expensive price!
13:17 - Loving the fact you visited Hull Fair! :D
Ok
Nottingham fair.
As a foldable phone, OMG! Out of all the ones I've seen from Mark, Unbox Therapy, and other UA-camrs who have shown different phones, this one beats them all so far. It also helps that the OS is actually good when it comes to having more than one app active at a time when using other apps, and it just shortens a bit, but not to the point where you can't see. I love that you can have three apps open and switch between them like tiles
Almost every reviewer dropped reviews on this OnePlus Open today... Some give a much more detailed review than others.
You identify as a foldable phone?
All those reviewers have dropped reviews of this exact phone today and also your making it seem like they reviewed specific phones and each reviewer is tied to a certain foldable phone or something. They all reviewed all the same foldables before and so has Whosboss aswell. So it's not like he's the special one who picked this foldable to solely review as his own. Also your very first sentence makes it seem like you identify as a foldable phone 😂. Your whole comment is just all messed up lol Get it together brodi.
I’ve been an iPhone user since the iPhone 3. I’ve had all of them. I’m tempted to try this one out for a while. 😮. Awesome new editing style too, Arun!!
I've been waiting for a foldable where I don't have to compromise on the specs for about 6 years. I'm 100% buying this. And I hope onePlus is successful for this
God I cannot stress how GOOD it is to have the outer display be a normal aspect ratio. Its for quick tasks, yes, but at the same time it isn't an eyesore to look at. Im excited to see what they have in store for the Open 2
The editing and visual branding of this channel is truly remarkable
The alert slider is basically for when you are at an office meeting or in crowds where you dont want to take out your phone but want to put it to silent,
So technically it is the perfect position as you dont have to keep finding it deep in your pockets
I've been. A OnePlus user since the 1+1 now. Never had one without the slider. I never really gave that slider much attention but when I got a non-1+1 job phone recently, I immediately noticed just that. I enter a professional setting, I flick that switch and I know my phone won't bother me. Such a handy thing. Not having it on the job phone really bothers me.
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.
Or maybe get a Samsung phone they can multitask really good, u can open two tabs simultaneously and also have alot of floating tabs opened
I personally don't split screen i always open my windows in floating window similar to how windows does it, which in my opinion is better than having two apps in split screen
or maybe, if you are having to constantly translate, just memorize the concerned language(s)? I don't see how it is so difficult that you'd rather spend 1800 usd for such a task unless there is some other appeal to it
I personally don't think that's a big enough reason to get a foldable
@@whyisitsodifficultomakeahandlewell unfortunately we're talking a myriad number of languages, including English, Arabic, Hebrew, Spanish, French, Italian, Turkish, Russian, Romanian, Chinese, Korean and Japanese.
Excellent review I was on the fence about the phone but the realistic colors, drang and drop, and the pros and cons of the cameras.
Now I feel more comfortable upgrading from my fold 4.
If there is one thing I learned from actually using a foldable as daily driver is that the phone case 100% NEEDS to have a built-in kickstand.
Agree 100%
I still can't get a good one cause the samsung official cover angle for the kickstand is incredibly off
Thanks for your honest review. I was on the lookout to upgrade my galaxy fold 3, but it seems my current phone is doing remarkably well against even newer galaxy folds and any other foldables, although bit slow, but not worth spending that extra amt for that small improvement.
That multi-screen system is pretty nifty, definitely a step in the right direction. I wonder if they've been working on fleshing it out for Android 14? 14 is supposed to have better support for large screens, which bodes well for foldables in particular.
it comes from base android system (android 13) but with a reskin and some customization on the behaviour
I bought Open two months ago. I am getting more loved as I am more using. ❤❤❤. Never change back again.

that polish animation at 10:46 was beautiful .
It would be cool if they came out with a smart watch that had a fold out screen. You get the additional screen real estate along your arm, or just fold away to the usual square screen. And if they could get it a bit thinner.

Ok. I have to say something. From this point onwards, you can really tell than Arun's content is stepping up on a another level. And it is amazing as always and it is basically 0 percent clickbait. So happy to be a subscriber to this channel.
Appreciate how Arun chose to be calm & minimal this time to make us understand the product better.
Let me write something here. This is the very best implementation of multitasking I've ever seen on any smartphone period. Great job to the software engineers!
well done again after so many years, ive actually sat down and gone throught the entire vid and was not one second boring :D
OnePlus sent us one to film a video for our instagram page but couldn’t talk about it publicly until the release due to our contract . I honestly must say this phone is VERY impressive. 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!
They sent you one? Really? No offense but me and everyone else be doubting you with you 900 subs. And yes that's a lot but still they'd be better of sending one to Arun or Parker Burton aka real techsperts

It's not their first gen. Oppo find n is the first generation
@@chieflingco oh yeah! Totally forgot, editing comment now
First foldable I've seen with an actualy aesthetically pleasing design. I really like it. Still, I'm most bothered by the plastic folding screens and I think they're just not for me until they're more durable.
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 don't think glass foldables will ever exist. since yknow glass isnt flexible
bro made his intro a literal movie trailer, great going arun!
You haven't mentioned this, but the OnePlus Open has an anti-reflective coating on the inner display. Samsung doesn't have this on their foldables, so the screen is very reflective in my experience, just like the lower end iPads :P
is samsung's screen reflective or oppo's screen
@@senpaisan7818 Samsung’s foldables are way more reflective than Oppo’s displays, Oppo’s Find N2 devices have anti-reflective coating just like this :)
A small note , OnePlus is bringing back some old OnePlus specs into this year's flags. Like the new OnePlus open has a 48 mpx ultrawide camera. Which we used to see in 2019-2021 in OnePlus phones. They were known as the best ultrawide camera in the smartphone industry for a long time. ❤ So welcome back OnePlus 🎉
Oneplus 11 also has it. It's a weaker sensor than the ones that used to have though
I hope One Plus gets back to form. I cant explain how much i loved my 6t and 7 Pro. Literally the best 2 phones ever.
I'm still using my 7Pro as a waker. Best pop-up full screen phone ever.
Absolutely dude I'm on my 7 pro now, best phone I've ever had, 8gb ram, etc , bloody love the speakers,, its so loud, but good loud, not tinny, u actually get bass
Had 6t and now 9 pro, after almost 3yrs, 9 pro is still a beast, except battery, everything is like at the beginning
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. 😅
@@liviurosca yeah I know well i suppose your age and the generation you grew up in will have alot to do with what you look for in a phone, i mean im actually 36 tomorrow :-):-)can't wait for my jordan 5s,,but when you mentioned one of the reasons being you changed because of the camera (an to be fair thr compact size makes sense to me) but i couldn't care less about the cameras on phones, 5 years ago they were good enough for me,,no notch is gr8, and as o said on my previous comment, the bloody speakers are SO GOOD, and having Dolby atmos with my high res audio headphones is also bloody good, the only complaint I have is the curved screen, it can get a bit annoying with accidental touches, but the new iPhone has got some pretty good reviews, don't worry ive stopped rambling,:-) ill always be android, when i decide to get another phone, it will probably be the zte axon 40 ultra pro, have a look at some reviews of that if you've not seen it, it's a beast, you take care :-)🎹(yes I'm a musician)
Really you are one of the most honest tech product reviewer but you intentionally keep the screen out of any glare and reflection to hide the hinge mark and I didn't expect that
1:52 Rare Aaron swearing footage
Hey Arun, just wanted to say thanks for your insightful review of the OnePlus Open. Your points about the phone's design, performance, and camera were spot on, and I really appreciate the time you took to go in-depth on the phone's software features. I was never really into foldable phones but this one was definitely a mind changer! My favourite part of this phone was the hardware, specially the hinge development, not only for the sus reference but also cuz hinges are the biggest weakness of foldable phones.
Love how more and more foldable/flippable products are being developed.
Someday the prices will drop enough and quality, good enough for us plebians to afford it lol.
Love your content and your commitment to produce such high quality vids at such high frequency, cheerio!
Hey, where where are you from?
Love your video! The unbias analysis made me a fan! What urks my soul about some bloggers and media about this phone compared to the Z fold...umm...WE DO REMEMBER THAT THE PURPOSE OF THE OUTSIDE SCREEN ISN'T TO GIVE YOU A BIG SCREEN. IT DOES WHAT IT'S SUPPOSE TO AND WHEN YOU REALLY NEED TO MULTI-TASK AND ALL THAT JAZZ, YOU OPEN TO THE BIGGER SCREEN 🤦🤦♀️Who will buy a folding phone that they don't need to open? 🤔🤔🤔
Been using Oneplus on a daily basis since the Oneplus 1. Never been more happy with a phone! Still rocking the 7 pro. Might buy the next model as this foldable is stupid expensive
As a iPhone user this is the first other phone I would think of buying.
11:31 Editor. Made mistake 😧 who noticed it ???? 😮😮😮
Hey man I’ve been sticking with you for a year now and I’m never gonna unsubscribe to you ever.
Always been a Galaxy Note guy. Just love the big screens. When the fold came out, I knew I had to have it. I have the Fold 3 and the Fold 5. These folding tablet phones are definitely the hottest thing on the market. I like this one, but hate that pizza camera on it. Just looks like a dinner plate on a dining table.
Ya the look of the camera is awful
Also, I feel like they could have made a lower version with 12GB + 256GB and could've easily priced very cheaper, and that would've been such a crazy VFM at that price
Turns out RAM and storage isn't actually that expensive. All companies are just overcharging for the upgrades...
@@Reinturtle That's true. Also OnePlus wanted to look better on paper as compared to their competitors. The person who is spending 1699 wants the best phone and wouldn't compromise for 100 dollars, thus they maxed it out.
@Reinturtle Exactly this, u can look up the spot prices of lpddr and the storage difference on premium nvme ssd's with a manufacturer's markup is literally about $10 from 256gb-512gb. So like $5-8 for these companies
Very cheaper? Yeah right…
idk, I doubt it would increase or decrease by ~70 usd and if you are already willing to splash out 1740 usd, why not just choke up a few more bucks? I think there was a psychology study based on a similar mindset but I can't remember but either way, it is logical.
One of the few tech channels that feels like the videos are actually improving over time. Appriciate the bits of critical thinking, deeper than any other video ive seen on this phone.
I'm new with you. Your really good 👍 enjoyable but your lighting fast.... Omg information overload in a great way.

At some point in the future, I'd like to get a foldable like this. I don't know what to expect from next year's Samsung. 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!
Samsung is just going to release the same thing for the third year straight

I've been following this channel for many years, and one noticeable issue is the inconsistency in the reviews. They tend to either accentuate the positives and downplay the negatives of certain phones while doing the opposite for others. It would be great if all phones were evaluated on an equal footing.
A +1 to this. Originally, I thought it was Arun's preferences, but the coloured judgement permeates right through tech reviews and reviewers here. I like that Arun is British, but he tries very hard to impress our American friends.
Oneplus never dissapoints.

Pre ordered my One+ Open last night (19/23) and paid deposit, hopefully all goes well and it'll be delivered on 25/10/23 as my Fold 4 was delayed multiple times 🤦
This is the YT review I've been waiting for and it did not disappoint!!!
My current daily driver is the Fold 4 while I waited for the Oneplus Open and will be interesting how they compare to each other.
Nice phone, less than groovy name imo - One+ Fold sounds more catchy (unless Samsung has the "fold" trademarked)
Always loved One+ brand for their original design & the fact they still pack EVERYTHING you actually need ie case & fast/quality lead & charger.
Pre-order comes with the Pro Buds 2 which is a nice bonus but a trade in value would of been appreciated as its more convenient than selling online etc but we'll see how it goes for a week or two before fully committing, although I can't see a reason atm to switch back.
Love the videos as always.
Watching on Fold 4 I enjoy folding phones hope to play with more in the future 🎉 happy New Year 🎉
Terrific review. Not for me, especially at the cost, but a move in the right direction in terms of design.
The fact that this is OnePlus' first attempt at a foldable phone really makes me excited for the next generations of this phone. They managed to get quite a lot right and solved annoyances with the competition's offerings. With more development and optimization, this could easily be THE phone to beat in the foldables market.
This is the Oppo N3. Third gen.
Linux foldables would be legendary, Linux desktop environments are really optimised for making the most out of your screen space.

@Dont_read_my_picture, ok
The thing that sells me is the bigger screen capability I like it it’s why I like tablet screens instead of phone screens but having that mixed with a phone brings more portability, phone capability, and tablet capability so having all that is the selling point not the multiple apps open
I used to be a big OnePlus fan. Had a 3T, 6T and then an 8. With the 8 I was never that impressed with it the way I was the previous models. They used to be the budget kings and just lost their way into being a middling smartphone brand. Ended up switching over to Pixels and I've been quite happy. But this is the innovation OnePlus needs. They can do great things if they choose to. It seems like they've been sitting dormant for awhile now and this is a great step in the right direction. Their audience was always the tech savvy and this is a great way to grab back their attention.
I can give a positive vote for their sister company OnePlus. I've had two oppos and two OnePlus. Excellent phones very very happy with all of them.
They've tested the Foldables on the Oppo side tho, my BF has the Find N2 and that's the sole reason I'm debating to trade my S23U for the open
I had Samsung galaxy note 8 and it had an amazing Multi tasking experience featuring up to 5 apps in pop ups. The ‘edge’ apps feature existed since Note 4 edge and has been so useful all along. Samsung was always ahead in the software game.
Finally power users have the foldable phone options.

@@magicbread8111I can assure you they are correct…
I’ve had 2 Samsung foldable phones and they are mediocre at best
Its fine lad. You atleast have a foldable. Which is very few people can have right now. Besides, it's still a foldable. Most of what he had said is more of QOL features or efficiency so it's no biggy. Use it as much and take care of it until you need to replace it.
The 20:9 ratio when opened up to 20:18 the almost perfect square is so soothing
I've been looking forward to seeing what One+ would bring with this foldable. It looks stunning, particularly in that green color. I think the only thing that disappoints is the lack of wireless charging. I've kind of gotten used to that with my current phone, so paying $1600 for a phone that doesn't do it seems counterintuitive. I'm certainly not a "power user," but I find the foldable screen tech really compelling, and being to view and interact with things on that larger screen is pretty attractive. I've heard a number of things aren't really optimized for the inside screen's aspect ratio, but that game you kept showing in the demo seemed to fill the screen well enough, even if there was a bug in the render. So, now I'm at that point where I'm asking myself, "If I'm willing to drop $1300 on an S23 Ultra (or maybe the S24 Ultra if I wait a month), why not cough-up the extra $300 and get the One+ Open? It's tempting. Very, very tempting. Keep watching reviews like this in hopes of finding something that'll tip the scales.
Meanwhile I'm currently hella tempted to trade my S23 Ultra for the Open, this is just quite overkill phone and hard to use single handedly
@@juhokokkonen6518 - I was stuck trying to decide between the S23U, the Z-Fold 5, or the One+ Open. I went with the Z-Fold 5. I've had it for a couple weeks now and am very happy with it. Easy to use one handed and the larger inner screen is excellent.
I feel like im the only one on Earth that can't care less for the wireless charging gimmick 😂
The only thing that would actually add to this form factor would be taking a look at the early Galaxy Notes by adding a pen that can be hidden inside the phone.

What a fantastic detailed review, probably the best out there for the OnePlus Open. Great work, Boss!
Congratulations. You convinced me that’s the best foldable phone.👏
There's certainly a big disadvantage when considering this phone for purchase considering such heavy price. What are your views on this?
1. Very very poor touch response rate - Oneplus 11 5G has upto 1000Hz touch response rate; Oneplus Open has only upto 240Hz
2. Low Resolution than Oneplus 11 5G - Oneplus 11 5G has 3216*1440 (QHD+), 525 ppi; Oneplus Open has 2440*2268 (2K), 426 ppi
Only if..
It didn't have one of the worse looking design especially the atrocious camera module

Great video as usual, but I miss the small icons with timers for different topics/sections in the video. That gave an overview of where you are while talking and I was not lost if I got distracted for a second in the middle.
