Why no one mentions the IR blaster on the OnePlus Open...Its one of the best hardware feature which is stopping me to move to any other phone

[TdMe]

I went with the pixel 9 pro fold. Its my first foldable and first android in probably 6 or 7 years. I do myself looking at the next gen one plus open in a few years

[MaazFz]

It could be just me but I like the outer display design of the pixel better

[MrCougar]

Nice review, I too love my OnePlus open and I can't wait until the OnePlus open 2 comes out. You failed to mention "stylus support" for the OnePlus open and I'll take "fast charging" over wireless charging anyway.

Can't wait for Android 15 with OxygenOS on my Oneplus Open. It is perfect phone now and I think it will be even better 🤩

[draickx]

I still don't mind that "chunky" left bezel because that is what gives the pixel the slightly bigger screen. Also I don't really have small hands and that tiny 2mm left hinge doesn't bother me . I do wish the tensor was a bit strong tho.

[c.m.]

Which is thicker? Which has better battery?

Ive been looking for a foldable phone.

At first i was going to go with the z fold 6, but for the price they are asking it felt too much, i played with it at best buy and it was meh from an innovation standpoint. I got the oneplus open apex for $980, i cant wait to give it a try.

Great review/comparison as always!
Can you please Add the newest oneplus open (crimson) and the Z Fold 6 to “pt 2” of this comparison please?!

Would love to see an in depth comparison of all 4 in terms of Hinge Quality, performance, battery life, camera, and multi-tasking. Am a power-user and I’ve been wanting to buy a foldable for some time now because of the multi-tasking features but I’m super skeptical of the previously mentioned categories because it just feels wiser to use something like the s24 Ultra without having to compromise on build quality (hinges), camera reliability, software bs, battery life or performance… Would be great to multitask more but that means nothing if am paying more $ for a compromise in any one of those areas.

Interesting that I'm the complete opposite on the software experience. Prefer the OnePlus over the pixel UI

[MarkEdwards-cb]

I like your review because many are on the new p9p fold band wagon. I have the oneplus open and Z fold 6. The one ui 6.1 is better in terms of software over oxygen. However, the hardware and overall user experience is better on the oneplus open, in my opinion, for a phone that is about a year old running snapdragon 2. I can't imagine how good the oneplus open 2 will be. The main issue I have is customer support in terms of repair. Samsung and Google are much better for warrenty in the US if you break your phone, which is not talked about with the Oneplus and other Chinese foldables. It takes a while for repairs to get done with oneplus, plus you are out of the phone for over 9-10+ days, so you will need another phone during that time and you pay upwards to 500 to get it fixed if the screen is cracked. No phone repair in my area could fix my craked screen because the screen has to be ordered from oneplus. Samsung may not be the best fold anymore and needs to step their game up greatly because they can but are lazy and dont listen to their customers. However, they have a good warrenty program plus the 1200 trade-in deal for my Z fold 5, which Google did not have for my Z Fold 5, so cost do matter. Samsung switched out my Z fold 5 when I cracked the screen, and I only had to wait 3 days for the replacement, and they gave me time to turn in the broken phone, so I still had a phone. People may talk about how great the Majic V3 Pro is. However, if it breaks, you will have to deal with the same issues getting it fixed. People dont always consider this when getting a Chinese folding phone and operating it in the US.

OnePlus Open has better software. What about its Multitasking!

[DRcatscratch]

Things like microphone quality, speakers, are also things OP nails over the pixel fold. Dont own the pixel but from camera comparisons the open can pruduce greater shots, whereas pixel is more consistently great.

[kendrelewis]

Explain to me why do you think the camera on the OnePlus Open is not gonna beat the 24u or 15ProMax? Really wish you would stop making statements like that without showing proof. I bought s24u and fold 6 and the 15pm family member has it and 9 Pro Fold I haven't gotten around to try it out yet.

The video production needs work. Good luck.

The larger bezel equals larger inner display.. I'd rather have the larger inner display, so I'm fine with the bezel

Here are the benefits of the Google Pixel Fold and the OnePlus Open, broken down into pointers for a buyer:
Google Pixel Fold
* Superior water resistance: The Pixel Fold has an IPX8 water resistance rating, meaning it can be submerged in water up to 1.5 meters deep for up to 30 minutes. The OnePlus Open only has an IPX4 splash resistance rating, so it is not as well-protected from water damage.
* Slightly larger inner display: The Pixel Fold has a 7.6-inch inner display, while the OnePlus Open has a 7.1-inch inner display. This gives you a bit more screen real estate to work with on the Pixel Fold.
* Thinner design: The Pixel Fold is thinner than the OnePlus Open, making it more pocketable.
* More powerful processor: The Pixel Fold is powered by the Google Tensor G2 processor, which is slightly more powerful than the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor in the OnePlus Open.
* Longer software support: The Pixel Fold will receive 5 years of software updates, while the OnePlus Open will only receive 4 years of software updates.
* Better cameras: The Pixel Fold has a better camera system than the OnePlus Open, with a 48MP main sensor, a 10.8MP telephoto sensor, and a 12MP ultrawide sensor.
* Wireless charging: The Pixel Fold supports wireless charging, while the OnePlus Open does not.
OnePlus Open
* More affordable: The OnePlus Open is slightly more affordable than the Pixel Fold.
* Faster charging: The OnePlus Open supports 67W wired charging, which is much faster than the 30W wired charging supported by the Pixel Fold.
* Longer battery life: The OnePlus Open has slightly better battery life than the Pixel Fold.
* Alert slider: The OnePlus Open has an alert slider, which allows you to quickly switch between silent, vibrate, and ring modes.
Overall
Both the Google Pixel Fold and the OnePlus Open are great foldable phones. The Pixel Fold has a few advantages, such as its superior water resistance, slightly larger inner display, and more powerful processor. However, the OnePlus Open is more affordable and has faster charging and longer battery life. Ultimately, the best phone for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences.

I totally disagree the software on the oneplus open is absolutely fantastic i even like it better than Samsungs software

[AllHailThanos]

I'd have to pick the pixel over the oneplus. I'm still using a fold 5 even though I've had my fold 6 since pre order

[MANGEKYOLOL]

Vivo fold smokes them both.. it’s got meh speakers though
