Inside The OnePlus Open – And The Machines That Torture It [Exclusive]

You could say OnePlus flew me halfway around the world to show me a phone ... but it would be more accurate to say the company brought me to China so I could see what’s inside that phone. Today on MrMobile: an exclusive first look at the hardware inside the OnePlus Open -- and the factory full of machines trying their best to break it!

Much respect for disclosing what you weren't allowed to show as to not "waste our time". Not a lot of YouTubers seem to care about this, even doing the opposite with clickbait. It is a breath of fresh air to see someone do this, so thanks so much for doing so!

[shyammehta]

one of THE best reviewers who's making money the right way. reminds me of the olden days of tech reviews. very consumer oriented. love it.

[JayyB]

Water resistant, wide front screen and less crease! Finally a good foldable in the states. I'm all in for it

[WalterPavlikII]

Maaaan! That's just. Neat. Thanks for giving us "normies" a view into the tech torture world without an having to make a whirlwind trip to the other side of the planet. I of course, like so many others, can't wait for the full review.

[GFourGadget]

With OnePlus hyping up the Open by showing it off early to tech YouTubers, I'm getting my hopes high for this foldable. It might be the next great thing from OnePlus after the OnePlus 7 Pro, and I'm ready to witness it.

[PSYCHOVNM]

More competition in the U.S. is sorely needed.

Wonderful video yet again from the foldable King master storyteller. 😎👍

[majtechtings]

Mr mobile, Flossy Carter (didn't realize I left him out lol) and Ben's gadget reviews...the only channels you need for reviews in these foldable streets.

[TJKoopa]

Wonder why they won’t let you show the camera bump. Speculating aside, it’s very fascinating to see the level of use and abuse they’re putting this device through to ensure durability for a category that has been renowned for fragility. I look forward to seeing everything else this phone will offer once the full review drops. Great video and very nice you got an exclusive!

[Danominator]

Man I love my Surface Duo, but I gotta admit this device in particular has been surprisingly enticing. I hope OnePlus can really pull this foldable off well.

[megamegaO]

It's crazy actually seeing those test labs! I've always imagined something similar, but seeing it on video is super nice, and reassuring

[paragpatel]

Eye opening. Really makes you appreciate all the hard work that goes into building such products

[mpeters]

As an all in Apple User, I have unfortunately become bored with the lack of foldable options and have looked towards the Pixel Fold and Fold5. This may genuinely be the phone that switches me. I do wonder what software support looks like, as Google’s 7 Year promise, and getting updates super quick, has me looking towards the Pixel Fold 2

[MrCougar]

Mr. Mobile, thanks for the great review! The fact that oneplus flew you to China tells me that they respect you as one of the top reviewers. Your reviews are always objective n contains all the pertinent info (not a lot of blah blah blah.) Do you know if you will be able to use a stylus on the big screen? Thanks again for the great review n looking forward to your review when the phone comes out.

I absolutely love all these companies jumping into the foldable market. More competition is only great for the consumer. I still get comments from people, either at work, or while I'm out, when I pull out my Z fold. It's amazing how so many people still aren't aware of the foldable market. There is definitely going to be some major growth in the market, and I'm here for it. Great video!

[Jthall]

This will probably be my first foldable phone. I already know it's going to have an amazing battery.

[nicknorthcutt]

I seriously can't wait to see these phones here in the US. The more foldables the better!

[ydna]

These tours are always so cool to see. You witness the amount of work that occurs behind the scenes, imagine all the engineering that goes into the data collection and how to remedy it. They were smart to bring you over, hopefully other companies do it too

[SethKnows]

Software support and warranty is all I'm worried about with the Open. Looks fantastic so far!

[UpgradeLemonade]

I love to see behind the scenes like this. Shows just how much goes into making tech products last for years. Ppl love to say how companies cheap out but it's far from the truth

[billyallen]

Seeing all your exclusive interviews and reviewish vids. You're moving up, my friend! Good for you
