Samsung software and ecosystem are superior. Not even close.

Samsung lost a long time customer when they released the same cameras for the third year in a row.

I have zero regrets getting the Open. Cheaper, bigger, thinner, lighter, longer lasting, faster charging, etc.

Sent my fold 6 back and got the open. So much better phone and so much cheaper .

[NipseyEternal]

I have the open since December and I love it. I been a OnePlus customer since the 7pro

[Jack]

I really love that Samsung went with the symmetrical square edges. Every foldable up to this point looked asymmetrical because of the hinge side always being squared off while the other side was curved. That alone makes me lean towards the Fold. That said, I'm still gonna wait another year for the Fold 7, they need to fix that crease and put in a bigger battery, hope they keep the design and the matte finish.

Watching on my 6 Fold, and loving it!

[keng]

It must just be me, but most of the photos looked better from the Fold.

[Josh_Sklar]

Open has the best display out in the market

[defi_ramsay]

i would love the one plus but they ruined it for me personally with the camera whole in the corner like that. wish it was under the display like the sammy

[redstang]

I had an open and it was a nice device. The outer screen is still much better than the fold 6 and the cameras are better especially the zoom. I did not like the huge camera on the back and found it really ruined the in hand feel and not being able to have different home screens on the outer and inner screens drove me crazy. Also had some 5g connectivity issues with it so got rid of it.

Who is still using the same phone for the past 5years?

[Zukki]

Im thinking to switch to Oneplus open. Been samsung fans from S7 until Z Flip 5 and Fold 4. I hope Oneplus release Oneplus Open 2

Ok fair enough, however:
- Samsung's software has had multiple generations to grow. This includes the fact that you can have a separate setup in the cover screen than the inner screen, you have a fully customizable sidebar and a bottom drawer, can fit more apps in a single row, Good Lock massively improves all the features including notifications and the AOD, you got Routines and just a massive amount of customization.

- Speaking of software, it wasn't mentioned how Youtube cannot be a floating window on top of split screen apps, whereas it works on Samsung. While the Open Canvas is indeed a cool design, the Fold can stack multiple apps on the same screen and each one can turn in a full screen version or be a floating window.

As a disclaimer, I am currently a Fold 2 user and I actually would prefer to buy the Open, rather than the Fold 6. My Fold 2 had its battery inflated, the inner screen has cracks on the folding part and the hinge does not allow the phone to open fully, it stops me a bit before it becomes flat. That being said, Samsung phones are always the safest option to go for. They're easier to repair cause I can just take it to a Samsung store and they'll simply order the part, they get probably the most peripherals out of any android phone, they get many updates and the Fold has been through so many iterations that the small incremental updates have started to add up.

The fold 6 is easier to hold. The OnePlus Open takes a L with the super large camera housing other than that, its a W.

[takeDD]

Samsung is the new Apple. All marketing. All Hype. Tricking users that they are buying the latest and greatest when they clearly are not. They make small updates and call it a new version. This is what happens where there are no competition. If One Plus advertises in the US, they would dominate the phone market. But they are still a relatively unknown.

[edward]

Love the design of the oneplus. I just wish they would fix some of the OS bugs that have been around since it was released last year. I dont have faith that oneplus will ever address them at thus point.

[cesarsalgadosalgado]

People are already reporting and sending the z fold 6 back due to the hinge getting stuck and getting broken great job Samsung

[keithburns]

One plus camera all that wasted space on the right could of put another camera in there
Bad design too much wasted space

[erichardman]

Had the oneplus open. Flipped ove the the zfold 6. Mainly for DEX
