The OnePlus Open is too good and exactly what I've been waiting for in a foldable phone. What do you guys think?

[NickHawkins]

I have to say that all the reviewers just use a foldable for a couple of weeks and move on, but they are such a new way to use a phone it's only after months you really appreciate what you can do and how it will fit in your life. I know they all like to hate the thin screen on the Fold 5 but if you use it for a few months it is just so lovely to have a smaller easy to reach screen. It also makes it so lovely to hold in your hand when folded up. I was so worried it would be a problem before I got the fold 5 but I simply love it. I don't want to have a wide phone in my pocket or hand any more. Just my opinion anyway.

I am surprised you barely mention one plus open new split screen and multitasking UI, which is what we have been waiting for on foldables. It makes you want to use the phone more…. Most of the comparison is focused on cameras.

I've owned every Samsung Fold. When I bought my OPPO Find N2...I never touched my Fold 5 again. But because of the Chinese ROM, I was super excited about the OnePlus Open and bought it within minutes of the release ending.
I hate the form factor of the Fold but that's me. Not everyone agrees. That's the great thing about companies releasing their own formula. Something for everyone.

OnePlus came out swing hard with this fold. I'm actually going to order one next week. They won me over this time and I'm very impressed

[silvahawk]

you should have shown off the multitasking feature more, it'd be the stand out feature of the device as it's quite unique and creative

[guardianali]

I like that the outer screen mimics inner screen. Its easier on muscle memory and quick peripheral vision to just go right to the click you want to make without thinking.

I completely disagree with your assessment that the fold five is not the right form factor. That's the thing I'm glad that Samsung went their own direction. I don't want a foldable phone that says wide as a normal phone. It felt really nice being a bit more of a candy bar shape when it's folded. And I'm even talking about the fold three that I have. I'm sure the five is a very nice refinement. We don't want all phones to be exactly the same or what's the point? It's cool that offer when their own way and it's a very nice looking phone but to say that Samsung should have done the same thing and is wrong for not doing it it's just ridiculous. Not everybody is looking for the same thing in a phone that you are. Phones are like a lot of things, subjective

I enjoy my samsung fold for 3 reasons, software, ecosystem, and size. The UI is just packed full of useful features, the Samsung ecosystem is the closest i can get to the Apple ecosystem and the more narrow outer screen is what i prefer.

As a Z Fold 5 owner who came from a Note 20 Ultra 5G, let me say definitively that the smaller size of the phone when its folded and the smaller cover screen are both reasons to buy the phone and are NOT hindrances in anyway. And don't be fooled by the battery, it will last the average person easily all day. Glad to see competition in the folding phone arena, but larger cover screens are not more productive or better and kind of, in my opinion, defeat the purpose of having a fold-able phone. If I need a larger screen, I'll unfold the phone. Great comparison though.

having the camera shown on the screen has never been a bad thing for me personally. i've never liked under screen cameras and even when OP did the pop out camera on the OP7 i felt like that was a better design.

[andrewc]

1:38 so much hate for the narrow outer screen of the Z Fold 5, but as someone who doesn't have large hands, it is a godsend compared to a lot of other devices. Coming from a pixel 6, I haven't been this excited for a phone since the HTC M7 with BoomSound speakers

[bz]

You can say one plus has learned from samsung and the feedback from millions of users, hence their design improvements. One thing that favours Samsung is, its folds are tried and tested. The quality factor and reliability of the folds Is proven. I'm writing this on my Z fold 3.

[myfakeguuglaccount]

If my goal is to use the outer display, I'll just buy a slab phone. I LOVE how compact the Fold5 is.

[rhaibi]

Personally love the narrow front display. Just super convenient and comfortable to use. You want something huge… just open it. The only thing Samsung would have to do to perfect the fold would be to bring the Ultra cameras to it.

I really need to upgrade my phone and since I've had 4 Galaxy phones in a row, I was about to go with the Fold 5. The Open has really blown me away though. The hardware and software look very fleshed out. I've never had a Oneplus phone but I think I've gotta give them a shot with this one

[tomwilliam]

Oneplus ditching wireless charging to make the phone thinner and lighter is definitely the right move. Is it really that hard to put a little bit more effort to just plug in the wired charger? Never understand why people need wireless charging.

[Gaetano.]

I really like my Fold 5 and don't think i would give it up for the Open

[efechief]

One plus open supports a stylus on the outside and inner screen now.

Im glad you were honest on the camera comparison.

[raffymytaffy]

I own a z fold 5 i wish it would have looked like this with a built in pen. Only reason i choose samsung is because of the software. Samsung is way better optimized and has dex, and a pen water resistant. Other then that im not interested in the oneplus software.
