I just ordered the Open.... And to answer your question about, why you don't get a phone AND a tablet? Because a tablet doesn't fit in my pocket and don't fold.. Until they do, this is the best balance for my personal needs and wants.. Having a bigger screen when out and about is a big plus for me, especially because I multitask quite a bit..
You love apples so much. They will give you a $4,000 fold phone without a battery. How you like that apples? And the battery will be $499 for just the battery😅😅
I'm not a fan of Apple anymore myself, but the price is a completely fake sticking point that I'm not sure why people made up. Their flagship phone is $1200, same as everyone else's. Their low-end phone is around $400, same as everyone else's. Their tablets range from $250-1100, pretty much the same as anyone else's. Their laptops are a similar price to others, spec for spec. Apple's only more expensive overall because they hardly ever offer discounts, and because on the secondhand market they retain a lot of value from sheer force of branding, and because first-party accessories have a ludicrous markup that nobody sane would ever pay for. But the devices themselves, if you're the sort of person to always buy new, aren't any more expensive than the other high-end brands. I'm saving money by switching to Samsung, yes. Because I'm fine with buying secondhand and waiting for sales. If I wasn't fine with those things, Apple would be the same price. What Apple wouldn't be fine with is the software. I'm not a fan of IOS or MacOS. But price? Not a real complaint, y'all made that up
It's not as scary as you may think, at the same time it's a decision that should be wisely considered. If you can afford the phone + insurance, are tech savvy and already use your phone for productivity I can promise you won't regret it, at the same time if you do all your work/ gaming on a desktop anyways and/ or dont want to spend well above a grand + have the running costs then I'd probably just wait for the right moment.
Your opinion IS to far from mine... I test this smartphone Yesterday (Oppo find n3). I have x90pro plus and iphone 15 pro max. And i Can tell you, the quality of camera are similar. It has nothing to envy of the Vivo and iPhone which are in the top 10 of camera phones. ok the iPhone has the advantage of cinematic mode but apart from that, this phone offers so many possibilities. The multitasking and a marvel, the fold and almost invisible, nothing to do with the Samsung z gold 5. I don't know what pushes you to have such a negative opinion but I can assure you that it is a truly remarkable phone. and from a price point of view we are almost at the price of an iphone 15 pro max 512, but with completely innovative and much more advanced technology. Yes, Apple will certainly release a very successful fold, but as always, 5 to 10 years later, and what do you think the price will be $3000?! 😅 And they provide 2 years warranty on the screen even you break it (1 Time only), who offer that, this not a good argument ?
Once Apple release their foldable you will know it is a new begging for phone market, something no one has ever done before! A true masterpiece. Everything before it will be just a prove of concept!

OnePlus Open is the first foldable I am considering. Because of the "normal" outter screen and amazing specs overall. My dream foldable will be a Samsung with similar specs and DEX experience. A true one-for-all device!
@@kriswayne7938 Yea but it's still pretty good because you get to browse the comments while watching YT videos in fullscreen. Insta photos have a more friendly aspect ratio. Any other sites like netflix are still pretty good because inspite of the black bars, the videos are still a lot larger than other non-foldable flagships.
Wireless charging is way overrated. Virtually everyone I know has a phone that has that feature. But how many people are actually using it? Not a lot. It looks cool. It's convenient. But it's no efficient and it's not good for the battery. IPX8 vs IPX4? I've own cell phones since 1994. During that whole time, I've gone through tons of phones. How many have been damaged due to water? One. Dropped a Nokia phone in the toilet. Stood there for a minute thinking about fishing it out of the toilet. Decided to do it. Then had to rinse it out. Hours later it wouldn't turn on. I don't need my phone to be waterproof. Splash resistant is good enough for me.
Using fold for over 2 years now. The camera isn't the best but I will struggle to come back to normal type phone. Working great for me, could be a big bigger.
@@SofaKingA No issues with mechanism or screen. Still using factory screen protector. The hinge is a bit looser over time but still stops at any angle I want. Also it doesn't fully flat open with like 5 degrees max missing to flatness. Isn't big deal unless you lay it flat onthe table then it becomes slightly visible. The only real problems I had is some of the software updates from Samsung broke certain features and I had to wait for a fix.
Foldables doesn"t make sense. Too narrow aspect ratio screen turns into squared one, wich besides in multitasking scenario not so useful. Unless its bendable in 2 places (like letter Z) 19:9 6.5 inch screen turns into 9"+ 4:3 tablet. No duplicate cameras and screens, needs to be 5mm thick that in folded state still have manageable bulkinness. I get it years ago at foldables first wave, why the tech companies didn't get it right?
I've already bought the Fold 5 and love it. I use it for work as my mobile workspace and backup when my desktop or internet is down. I'm able to multi-task using 5-6 apps during a business day and it works great. I use Zoom or Google Meet side by side with Chrome (CRM is web based and I use multiple tabs). I then have Gmail, Google Calendar, Excel, and Word all as floating bubbles so I can open and use them as needed. I use this for 8 hours with breaks here and there and the battery lasted all day. It's fantastic if you actually multi task and use it. If you're just going to watch YT videos and play games, it's just a waste and a flex.
On point as usual. The only thing I was surprised you didn't mention is the screen reflectivity. Except for their TVs, samsung seem behind on that or just seem not to care. It's pretty bad on my fold 4. Competition is good. Also, I was kinda hoping you were hinting at testing the 2e5 vs. 1e6 folds claims. (:
I think the video can be summed up by saying a foldable isn't for everyone. I do agree they are trying to market these to everyone and its not for everyone. But I do think these are excellent devices for the right person, like someone who uses their phone a lot for work and productivity.
Interesting opinion ..... In fact I don't care about foldable phones although I need a big screen. But I use a 4-years old Chinese Oukitel K9 with 7.1" screen and that is cool for me. Camera? If I want to take a good photo I use my Nikon. Video - I prefere my DJI pocket 2 which is handy and stable. Thanks Kuba!

I have a Fold 5 coming from a Note 20 Ultra and I have to say the smaller front screen is actually quite nice coming from how wide the N20U was so I absolutely believe when you say the Open isnt as comfortable to hold. The Fold 5 form factor gives me the best of both worlds, a phone that is easy to hold in the hands while giving me the large screen that initially bought the N20U for when I want or need it. That being said, I still think foldables are a power user product, and I have a hard time recommending them to the general public considering the price. The inner screen is barely bigger than a standard flaship when it comes to watching videos as you illustrated with the black bars comparison, and I would say foldables are best suited to creators or multi taskers where the inner screen makes mobile creative apps a bit more usable. I write music using FL studio and N track studio when I'm on the go, and the inside screen is a beast for that as I can see piano rolls and tracks much more similarly to how I see them on a desktop or laptop, but when is comes to content viewing and scrolling through social media a standard slab phone is honestly all a standard user will ever need. I do hope foldables continue gaining popularity and improving, but at the current price point, I agree it's a hard sell to most people, especially those who want top of the line cameras.
Tbh, I would not buy foldable phone, not now when it`s still in it`s developing times. Small foldables interest me more than those overprices bricks of phones. Yet still battery life on those small foldables are very bad and with my usage it will not last whole day. Yes - stupid bastards would say - you say this because you cant afford such phone, and - nope. I have s23u and for now - I will stick to it as long as I can. Foldables has half of S23u usability, quality and capabilities. So maybe in far future I would consider buying small foldable, but I think that more convincing would be buying Google Pixel if Google will go to Poland officially. Now? Not worth giving my money to company that is pissing on my country.
@@phil-n5t I`ve seen enough of foldables, my workflow is not compatible with foldables at all. Another thing is that you pay lots of money for foldable feature and the rest of the phones is well - medium quality phones encased in foldable aspect. I will not pay for that. Another thing is that you sound like a fanboy that tries to protect his own life choice, dude, use whatever you want, I trully dont give a sht what you are using. I just give my opinion about foldables and that this technology is far from being any good. If small - then the battery is suffering. Bigger - extremely expensive, bulky, fragile and technologically - way behind flagships. It`s better idea to buy normal phone and tablet or chromebook if needed. Just like Kuba said.
@SzeptyTechniki again more crap from people like you who have to resort to calling people fanboys! I'll lay a bet if these folding phones had an apple logo on the back. People like yourself would be all over them like a rash saying how wonderful they are and how fantastic and innovative apple are.
I'm happy it's sold out so I can stop thinking about it. I have a Note10 256gb that's almost out of storage and slightly craked screen so I'm in the market soon for it's replacement...
let's be honest..the end user will buy the phone they wanted to buy, based on how much they are willing to fork out, and how much they like the design of the phone. Very few would actually compare diligently the performance, camera quality and speed of multiple phones to make a purchase decision, because, at the end of the day, you are only using one phone, and such comparison really doesn't add up that much to the experience of using your phone. I mean, yes, your phone can take a photo 1.3 miliseconds faster than most other phones, but how does that translate into better and more meaningful user experience in the real world? Also, there will always be other phones out there that are better, faster and take much clearer pictures than yours. Companies now are churning out phones on a monthly basis. So, comparing phones have become an exercise in futility. At the end of the day, the best way to buy a phone is based on two factors, your budget and your personal preferences.
Oh my gosh! Thank you! I'm so tired of seeing the same title on "tech reviewers" who got kickbacks or free devices to "review" - "Best foldable phone. Period." It's the same freaking title because that's that Oppo asked them to title them. Come on, it's so obvious!... Will I ever by a foldable phone? Well, using one right now and loving it. The Fold 5's aspect ratio is a bit weird at first but I've come to appreciate it and love it. As you mentioned, when unfolded, the OnePlus has larger black bars which in ways defeats the purpose of having a large screen. Is the Open a good phone? Yes, if you want a phone the size of a regular phone. Other than that, everything else seems worse. The best foldable on the market? Not. Even. Close! I welcome them to the US market as I hope it will push Samsung to do better. I do hope the 6 will be slightly wider (stick the pen inside, Sammy!) and maybe slightly thinner.
Never thought I'd buy one, but the Z Flip was a great phone that survived many outings with my 6 year old without breaking. It even allowed me to work on it as easily as my Pixel did, so I can only imagine they will get better and better
7:11 it doesnt only have great screens for a foldable it has the best screens out there at the moment. Yes the crease is a compromise but you make it sound as if folding screens cant reach slab phone levels of image quality, wich is far from true.
If i honest the smartphone market started to bore me. Ive always loved new tech, particularly in the smartphone arena. But i just found one slab looked no different to the other slab in last couple of years. Foldables brought something a little different, innovative & fresh i guess. It certainly reignited my interest thats for sure! But would i buy one? Well my partner uses the Fold 5 & shes loves it. But for me ? ..no, im still recovering from the shock of my wifes Samsung F5 purchase 😅.. too damn expensive atm, ill wait till they are more mainstream. If i were in the market to buy one tho i would certainly buy the OP Open over Samsung, but im biased ive used OP handsets from the OP1 to the OP7 pro & they were always rock solid devices.
People say foldables are expensive. But with the constant promos and discounts on the OnePlus app coupled with the trade in promos, I was able to get the Open for 840 bucks taxes included. Then I was able to do the same thing with the Watch 2. Was able to take advantage of multiple discounts and picked that up for 180 tax included. 1020 total for a good foldable and watch is pretty good in my book. The Open does have some bugs and quarks though.
Probably not no. I picked up the Galaxy Tab S7+ as my media device back in 2020 it convinced me I'd always rather have a tablet and a phone(In my case the Sony Xperia 1 V) rather than a folding phone where I don't see the actual practical benefits.
No I will not buy a Folding phone. They are the jack of all trades but master of none and also way to expensive. What I would like to see are phones go back to more normal aspect ratio like 18:9... A 6.1 or 6.2 inch 18:9 aspect ratio phone would be fantastic. It would be as wide as the current 6.7 inch flagship phones but not as tall. I hate these stupid candy bar 20:9 aspect ratio phones...
Lost me at 1 minute and 36 seconds. Yes, a 1st Gen phone can be more durable than another brand that has been around longer. They can buy examples from their competition, reverse engineer it and learn from their mistakes. This phone is also not 1st Gen. It is actually 3rd Gen. What's new here is that it's using the Oneplus brand name for the 1st time. Pretty much the same device is also being released as Oppo's 3rd Gen foldable phone in the asian market.
If you need a bigger screen for more productivity, you should go for a fold. Honestly if the price and durability is awhole lot better, alot of people will surely transfer.
Funny how most users don't even use more than 20% of a smartphone capabilities at once yet then need two phone (plus extra charges) stuck together. Even the greatest phone captures just flat images on a common users hand. Unedited and less detailed, so why bother so much on a phone?
Hey if you don't like folding phones then don't make a video this was beyond annoying....i happen to absolutely love folding phones and i will not ever switch back to a normal phone with screens that are to small i don't care if Apple ever makes one it doesn't matter Samsung has one
It's not the first phone. This is the third iteration by Oppo. In your terms: There was Oppo N One! Two! and this is the third. That's either some skewed comment or purely you don't know your shit.
It's not really a first generation product, it was released under oppo find n. Really a third generation product just rebranded as one plus for the US market
Loved the sense of humor and honesty/genuineness of this review. I was so bored of the typical reviewer behavior that is being so tactful to the point that lying is only one step ahead.
i really dislike the ratio of these screens. its feels very random, most content is either vertical or horizontal, hard to find anything thats more of a square
Less than 1% of Samsung users have a foldable or a flipable and looking Android as a whole on the mobile market and this is the whole less than probably a 10th of 1%
Pictures are better on the Oneplus open, like it looks like something my eyes would see unlike Samsung putting a spin with more contrast on everything.
From your perspective yes I want to buy one plus open. Cuz for same ram and storage the open cost less than $530(excluding$200 trading bonus) in my country.
First few minutes were a great indictment of RUclips reviewers. There was a time when YT videos were good sources of information about tech products. Maybe before monetization
Jumped to the folding phone world 2 years ago Samsung Fold 3, and upgraded 1 month ago to the very best fold phone on the planet Xiaomi Mix Fold 3. Probably will never go back.
How is multitasking on the Xiaomi folds? I'm in love with the hardware for quite some time now but I couldn't live without proper splitscreening and resizing apps into windows.
@@Terrorbrot splitscreen is alright but software optimisation is a weak spot for the experience - compared with my 2 years on Samsung's Fold. More joy of daily use and excitment with the design improvements, still stoked a month later even though i get bored quite fast with tech. Another plus is the upcoming HyperOS which hopefully will close the gap between the two eco systems mentioned before so if Xiaomi will do with software what they did with hardware and design will easily outsell Samsung's top of the line foldable with this product. Other than that a superb product 16gb ram 1Tb storage FiberCarbon back from the factory with a substantial difference of price in consumer favor so def a yes as a go to. Leading edge
Honestly, the price shouldn't be *much* of a factor if you're in a first-world country. If you want a fold badly enough, just look for the right sales and break up the price over 24 months and you can reasonably get a fold for under $50 a month - totally manageable if you decide you want it. Now, is the extra utility of a fold worth not having the extra money for something else, and the durability concerns folds come with, and the handful of things a fold has worse than a standard flagship slab? Honestly, for most people, probably not. But I'm loving my Z Fold 4, which I got secondhand for $625 earlier this month. If it winds up suddenly failing before I'm ready to upgrade, as folds sometimes do, lesson learned and I'll trade in for an S24 Ultra - but in the meantime, it's awesome. Those black bars on videos are pretty much _only_ on videos, in most apps and websites extra screen space=extra good.
Hi, thx for the vid😂. The Oneplus open it's a 3rd generation of the Oppo find N fold 😊 For me to buy a foldable I'm taking this: -a panoramic unfolded screen -good autonomy -good price - less than 1000 coins😊
Horizontally foldable phone (Z Flip)? I will keep on buying. Vertically foldable overpriced underperforming tablet? No, thank you. Excellent video as always, Mr. Klawiatur :D
Does RUclips work well on the Oneplus Open? The square display makes videos have bigger black bars. And the video size isn’t bigger than a regular phone which defeats the purpose of having a bigger screen
i was close to buying a fold 5 but then realised how stupid i was becasue they depreciate so much and so quickly. fold 4's can easily be found for 600 even though it was being sold at 1800 only a year ago 🗿
Won’t buy one until UTG gets to a point where is flexible enough to fold while retaining its rigidity when unfolded. Perhaps the solution will require some sort of current induced hardening mechanism.

The Fold 5 form factor gives me the best of both worlds, a phone that is easy to hold in the hands while giving me the large screen that initially bought the N20U for when I want or need it. That being said, I still think foldables are a power user product, and I have a hard time recommending them to the general public considering the price. The inner screen is barely bigger than a standard flaship when it comes to watching videos as you illustrated with the black bars comparison, and I would say foldables are best suited to creators or multi taskers where the inner screen makes mobile creative apps a bit more usable. I write music using FL studio and N track studio when I'm on the go, and the inside screen is a beast for that as I can see piano rolls and tracks much more similarly to how I see them on a desktop or laptop, but when is comes to content viewing and scrolling through social media a standard slab phone is honestly all a standard user will ever need. I do hope foldables continue gaining popularity and improving, but at the current price point, I agree it's a hard sell to most people, especially those who want top of the line cameras.
fold 5 front screen is to small admit it, i had to return it . I went back to s23 ultra and Iphone
I agree, I have the 4 and its front screen really is the perfect size for one handed use.
I have told 4, Razr 40 plus or ultra how you want and flip 5❤
Tbh, I would not buy foldable phone, not now when it`s still in it`s developing times. Small foldables interest me more than those overprices bricks of phones. Yet still battery life on those small foldables are very bad and with my usage it will not last whole day. Yes - stupid bastards would say - you say this because you cant afford such phone, and - nope. I have s23u and for now - I will stick to it as long as I can. Foldables has half of S23u usability, quality and capabilities. So maybe in far future I would consider buying small foldable, but I think that more convincing would be buying Google Pixel if Google will go to Poland officially. Now? Not worth giving my money to company that is pissing on my country.
Still in uh make me laugh. How many year do you think it should be 10 years, 20 perhaps. You've have never even seen one never mind used one!
@@phil-n5t I`ve seen enough of foldables, my workflow is not compatible with foldables at all. Another thing is that you pay lots of money for foldable feature and the rest of the phones is well - medium quality phones encased in foldable aspect. I will not pay for that. Another thing is that you sound like a fanboy that tries to protect his own life choice, dude, use whatever you want, I trully dont give a sht what you are using. I just give my opinion about foldables and that this technology is far from being any good. If small - then the battery is suffering. Bigger - extremely expensive, bulky, fragile and technologically - way behind flagships. It`s better idea to buy normal phone and tablet or chromebook if needed. Just like Kuba said.
@SzeptyTechniki again more crap from people like you who have to resort to calling people fanboys! I'll lay a bet if these folding phones had an apple logo on the back. People like yourself would be all over them like a rash saying how wonderful they are and how fantastic and innovative apple are.
Just bought a zflip5 about a week ago, and i love it so far
I'm happy it's sold out so I can stop thinking about it. I have a Note10 256gb that's almost out of storage and slightly craked screen so I'm in the market soon for it's replacement...
i hate foldable phone as i hate screen with side edges
let's be honest..the end user will buy the phone they wanted to buy, based on how much they are willing to fork out, and how much they like the design of the phone. Very few would actually compare diligently the performance, camera quality and speed of multiple phones to make a purchase decision, because, at the end of the day, you are only using one phone, and such comparison really doesn't add up that much to the experience of using your phone. I mean, yes, your phone can take a photo 1.3 miliseconds faster than most other phones, but how does that translate into better and more meaningful user experience in the real world? Also, there will always be other phones out there that are better, faster and take much clearer pictures than yours. Companies now are churning out phones on a monthly basis. So, comparing phones have become an exercise in futility. At the end of the day, the best way to buy a phone is based on two factors, your budget and your personal preferences.
Oh my gosh! Thank you! I'm so tired of seeing the same title on "tech reviewers" who got kickbacks or free devices to "review" - "Best foldable phone. Period." It's the same freaking title because that's that Oppo asked them to title them. Come on, it's so obvious!... Will I ever by a foldable phone? Well, using one right now and loving it. The Fold 5's aspect ratio is a bit weird at first but I've come to appreciate it and love it. As you mentioned, when unfolded, the OnePlus has larger black bars which in ways defeats the purpose of having a large screen. Is the Open a good phone? Yes, if you want a phone the size of a regular phone. Other than that, everything else seems worse. The best foldable on the market? Not. Even. Close! I welcome them to the US market as I hope it will push Samsung to do better. I do hope the 6 will be slightly wider (stick the pen inside, Sammy!) and maybe slightly thinner.
Never thought I'd buy one, but the Z Flip was a great phone that survived many outings with my 6 year old without breaking. It even allowed me to work on it as easily as my Pixel did, so I can only imagine they will get better and better
7:11 it doesnt only have great screens for a foldable it has the best screens out there at the moment. Yes the crease is a compromise but you make it sound as if folding screens cant reach slab phone levels of image quality, wich is far from true.
If i honest the smartphone market started to bore me. Ive always loved new tech, particularly in the smartphone arena. But i just found one slab looked no different to the other slab in last couple of years.
Foldables brought something a little different, innovative & fresh i guess. It certainly reignited my interest thats for sure!
But would i buy one? Well my partner uses the Fold 5 & shes loves it. But for me ? ..no, im still recovering from the shock of my wifes Samsung F5 purchase 😅.. too damn expensive atm, ill wait till they are more mainstream.
If i were in the market to buy one tho i would certainly buy the OP Open over Samsung, but im biased ive used OP handsets from the OP1 to the OP7 pro & they were always rock solid devices.
People say foldables are expensive. But with the constant promos and discounts on the OnePlus app coupled with the trade in promos, I was able to get the Open for 840 bucks taxes included.
Then I was able to do the same thing with the Watch 2. Was able to take advantage of multiple discounts and picked that up for 180 tax included.
1020 total for a good foldable and watch is pretty good in my book. The Open does have some bugs and quarks though.
Probably not no. I picked up the Galaxy Tab S7+ as my media device back in 2020 it convinced me I'd always rather have a tablet and a phone(In my case the Sony Xperia 1 V) rather than a folding phone where I don't see the actual practical benefits.
I'm buying the z fold 5 tomorrow. I'm so hyped to finally see a phone that a normal person is expected to use
No I will not buy a Folding phone. They are the jack of all trades but master of none and also way to expensive. What I would like to see are phones go back to more normal aspect ratio like 18:9... A 6.1 or 6.2 inch 18:9 aspect ratio phone would be fantastic. It would be as wide as the current 6.7 inch flagship phones but not as tall. I hate these stupid candy bar 20:9 aspect ratio phones...
you forgot something screen is scratches easily with nail 😒
I got RAZR 40 Ultra from a year. It su….cks 😢 it was not a good idea to buy it. And after this year this motorola is 50% cheaper 😮😮😮. And iPhone no…
Lost me at 1 minute and 36 seconds. Yes, a 1st Gen phone can be more durable than another brand that has been around longer. They can buy examples from their competition, reverse engineer it and learn from their mistakes.
This phone is also not 1st Gen. It is actually 3rd Gen. What's new here is that it's using the Oneplus brand name for the 1st time. Pretty much the same device is also being released as Oppo's 3rd Gen foldable phone in the asian market.
If you need a bigger screen for more productivity, you should go for a fold. Honestly if the price and durability is awhole lot better, alot of people will surely transfer.
Kuba, it's great to see that you're making it on this channel as well! I love your reviews! This OnePlus is lit, btw. The best foldable so far.
You watch Internet Today? Ricky and Eliot! I recognize that yellow font and boom Weekly Weird News. Nice, I like you
Funny how most users don't even use more than 20% of a smartphone capabilities at once yet then need two phone (plus extra charges) stuck together. Even the greatest phone captures just flat images on a common users hand. Unedited and less detailed, so why bother so much on a phone?
Ciekaw jestem dla ilu zagranicznych osób tak naprawdę jest ten angielski. Czy to tylko Polacy co piszą kom po angielsku.
Hey if you don't like folding phones then don't make a video this was beyond annoying....i happen to absolutely love folding phones and i will not ever switch back to a normal phone with screens that are to small i don't care if Apple ever makes one it doesn't matter Samsung has one
It's not the first phone. This is the third iteration by Oppo. In your terms: There was Oppo N One! Two! and this is the third. That's either some skewed comment or purely you don't know your shit.
last line - pure gold ROFL
Lol, Apple has yet to invent foldable phones so right now this is all a dream anyways.
It's not really a first generation product, it was released under oppo find n. Really a third generation product just rebranded as one plus for the US market
Loved the sense of humor and honesty/genuineness of this review. I was so bored of the typical reviewer behavior that is being so tactful to the point that lying is only one step ahead.
Nope. Flip? Nah. Smartphones are boring. I will wait for classic phone with good camera. I know. I'm strange 😅
U can leave spidersw*b, but the spidersw*b never leave you. To the people - just buy an iPhone and iPad mini, u are welcome
yes, I'm dead set on buying one late 2024. I'm bored of my current brick phone and I really miss the flip phone
You're quick to forget Apple never wanted to release a large screen phone. Lol Apple isn't the same company it once was. They no longer innovate.
I would buy it in a heartbeat if it wasn’t so expensive. I can’t justify spending that much money on a gadget no matter how cool it is.
Samsung always giving discounts i remember i got mine for like 700 less
forget about foldable apple till now apple didn’t make curve screens oh no they made it iPhone 6 😂the bend phone
I don't care about foldable phones but I enjoyed the video
1:24, this actually is its 3rd gen foldable phone they make, see oppo find n1, n2. this is the oppo find n3
I want my phone to fold so it can be smaller, not bigger. I just want to fit it in my pocket!!!!!!
Just bought a z flip 5, not bad but the crease bruh, you might need to wait if that crease annoyed you.
i really dislike the ratio of these screens. its feels very random, most content is either vertical or horizontal, hard to find anything thats more of a square
That's because otherwise you're left with ultra wide useless cover screen
Kuba, pamiętasz jeszcze o nas?? Wiernych widzach z rodzimego kraju, żelaznym elektoracie, "gorszym sorcie"?? 😉
Why can’t you all understand that it’s the english channel and you’re not supposed to speak Polish here?
Podobny do klawitera😮
I love this dude 😂❤
Z Fold 5 is tha way. Best foldable i ever had. And yes i had 3 and 4 before.
Less than 1% of Samsung users have a foldable or a flipable and looking Android as a whole on the mobile market and this is the whole less than probably a 10th of 1%
Foldables are growing
Regular tablets are good for university students (for note taking) and artists.
To kiedy test miliona złożej podczas jazdy hulajnogą z Zakopca na Hel?
YOU SHOULD PUT THE ZFOLD 4 OH 5 SAME PHONE UP AGAINST THE XIAOMI MIX FOLD3
Kubuś, tutaj coś wrzucasz a na polskim kanale nic, co to się odjaniepawla??
Yes after apple
Pictures are better on the Oneplus open, like it looks like something my eyes would see unlike Samsung putting a spin with more contrast on everything.
This is the review i always want to see cause other tech reviewer like always bias
😂😂😂 as a apple fan boy I jump on the bandwagon of foldable and I love it
Even as a Samsung fan, I have to agree with the conclusion :(
From your perspective yes I want to buy one plus open. Cuz for same ram and storage the open cost less than $530(excluding$200 trading bonus) in my country.
First few minutes were a great indictment of RUclips reviewers. There was a time when YT videos were good sources of information about tech products. Maybe before monetization
Jumped to the folding phone world 2 years ago Samsung Fold 3, and upgraded 1 month ago to the very best fold phone on the planet Xiaomi Mix Fold 3.
Probably will never go back.
How is multitasking on the Xiaomi folds? I'm in love with the hardware for quite some time now but I couldn't live without proper splitscreening and resizing apps into windows.
@@Terrorbrot splitscreen is alright but software optimisation is a weak spot for the experience - compared with my 2 years on Samsung's Fold.
More joy of daily use and excitment with the design improvements, still stoked a month later even though i get bored quite fast with tech.
Another plus is the upcoming HyperOS which hopefully will close the gap between the two eco systems mentioned before so if Xiaomi will do with software what they did with hardware and design will easily outsell Samsung's top of the line foldable with this product.
Other than that a superb product 16gb ram 1Tb storage FiberCarbon back from the factory with a substantial difference of price in consumer favor so def a yes as a go to.
Leading edge
Mr Klawiatura where is folding test?????
Yes. Ive Fold5 (before that fold4). For sure will buy once again.
Will I ever? I'm at my 3rd already.
Foldy boy 4 life!
Honestly, the price shouldn't be *much* of a factor if you're in a first-world country. If you want a fold badly enough, just look for the right sales and break up the price over 24 months and you can reasonably get a fold for under $50 a month - totally manageable if you decide you want it.
Now, is the extra utility of a fold worth not having the extra money for something else, and the durability concerns folds come with, and the handful of things a fold has worse than a standard flagship slab? Honestly, for most people, probably not. But I'm loving my Z Fold 4, which I got secondhand for $625 earlier this month. If it winds up suddenly failing before I'm ready to upgrade, as folds sometimes do, lesson learned and I'll trade in for an S24 Ultra - but in the meantime, it's awesome. Those black bars on videos are pretty much _only_ on videos, in most apps and websites extra screen space=extra good.
when for the huge price they will also have top cameras!!!
Hi, thx for the vid😂.
The Oneplus open it's a 3rd generation of the Oppo find N fold 😊
For me to buy a foldable I'm taking this:
-a panoramic unfolded screen
-good autonomy
-good price - less than 1000 coins😊
Horizontally foldable phone (Z Flip)? I will keep on buying. Vertically foldable overpriced underperforming tablet? No, thank you. Excellent video as always, Mr. Klawiatur :D
I feel like Folds are only good for multitasking thanks to their inner screen aspect ratio.
Somebody should tell him you can zoom in on video and get full screen
Does RUclips work well on the Oneplus Open? The square display makes videos have bigger black bars. And the video size isn’t bigger than a regular phone which defeats the purpose of having a bigger screen
they hated him because he told them the truth
Great video! Thx 🙏 😊
i was close to buying a fold 5 but then realised how stupid i was becasue they depreciate so much and so quickly. fold 4's can easily be found for 600 even though it was being sold at 1800 only a year ago 🗿
Won’t buy one until UTG gets to a point where is flexible enough to fold while retaining its rigidity when unfolded. Perhaps the solution will require some sort of current induced hardening mechanism.
Cool Kuba but Polish Members waiting on uor film
