100 usd less for the better display, 4GB extra RAM and double the storage in comparison to competition. I think they did a fair job this time.
Should have had a sku with 12 gigs RAM & 256 gigs storage and $150 bucks less imo
And it's 100 usd less*
@@abhisheka3 yeah maybe 1500usd for a 8/256 GB version and it would have been a great price.
Don't think they would do 8 gigs coz of the multi-tasking but I agree 1.5K would have been ideal
@@abhisheka3 8 GB good enough to handle like 8-10 apps at a time. I have s23+ and I am power user and the 8GB of RAM is good enough, maybe in future 2-3 years from now it may impact me.
Imagine Oneplus coming back like how they started. Maybe a new beginning?...probably unrealistic, but nice to dream...as a tech fan, I miss them so much...
they got bought out by bbk electronics. there is no going back
@@zen6591agreed. They'll have the occasional banger like this one. But the days of OnePlus being the rebellious and unique disruptor are done
@@zen6591sir OnePlus was Under BBK Electronics from Day1 of its start. It was always funded by Oppo & given the tech by Oppo.
@@zen6591boy better know
@@zen6591they are always oppo/bbk...
The crease comparison you did with the three foldable phones is very helpful because the OnePlus crease invisibility is unbeatable in contrast to the others.
Until you start using it. Then it becomes just as visible as the others.
The textured back plate is a nod to classic camera bodies which Hasselblad, and other cameras, used to use all the time. Look it up 😊
Man Dave's Hair is getting more and more majestic each video
It's like an watching a lion giving me a review 😂
Wolf cut
Yes found a comment finally picking on this 😊

And he's cut it now! 😭
Super cool with the IR blaster making a return. Loved that on my LG G3 back in the day and this feature deserves to come back!
Theyve always been around, just not in NA phones
It is on almost all Xiaomi smartphones xd
I used to love trolling at sports bars and turning off the TVs when I was a kid.
@@HenryThe12I had an LG G3 and I did that at my friend's place a lot. that phone was great
@HenryThe12 used to fuck with my teacher's smart board. Used to freeze it and unfreeze it and they were always so confused 😂
Man I love how this phone looks. I'm tired of glass backs and if you're gonna have a camera bump that large, making it a circle gives it some nice flair. Still not ready to jump onto a foldable yet, but maybe by the time I'm due for an upgrade they'll have ironed out most of the caveats. Glad to see some strong competition for Samsung though.
Foldable phones sucks. This technology still needs major improvements to make foldable phones more durable.
@@harshrawat2893I have had my z fold 3 since it was released and have had zero issues. No breaks or durability problems. I work at a factory and I have drop it a few times on to steel staircases and onto concrete and gravel. I had it in a hardshell plastic slim case and I had no problems. The performance and convenience of the phone and larger available screen has been a game changer in my daily life. I can't say enough. I think there are plenty of gives and takes regardless of you choose a foldable or a regular form factor smartphone. To each their own.
@@harshrawat2893 they suck if they’re not for you…
I prefer it’s aesthetics over the other foldables.
Its.
NOT it's.
It's = it is.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M
You’re correct, though I can understand the mental short circuit with the apostrophe often indicating a possessive noun in other cases.
@PSYCHOV3N0M
my phone constantly autocorrects "its" to "it's"
@@PSYCHOV3N0M I know that. My phone's auto correct is dumb.
who tf uses auto correct these days. I use suggestions to type faster on phones but auto correct is a nightmare
I think it should be compared to the 512 GB models of other foldables in terms of pricing.
That is correct.
It's 512 GB AND you get $200 in Amazon gift card means it's actually waaaaay cheaper than the other phones esp if you compared it to their same size which are $200 more for Samsung and Google, so that's really a $400 price gap
@@aaaaaaxaaaaaacalm down Alex lol
yeah i agree
@@aaaaaaxaaaaaa Also we forget to mention it has the charger and case in the box unlike Samsung and Apple that by now they give us so little i am surprised a spit doesn't launch towards your face when you open their boxes just to let you know what they think of you.
I don't know man, I really like the camera's look on the back. Very unique and also very recognizable. If this was 1.2k it would have been my first foldable.
They could have absolutely disrupted the market and taken a huge share by pricing aggressively, nearer to 1000 (which is a very realistic price, common in the Chinese market). Instead they seem to be blindly following other much more recognised brands, expecting to do equally well even though they're not so well known or trusted.
How are they expecting people to choose them over the established players? They don't even provide the Samsung specs, like wireless charging, IP rating, stylus support, DEX, etc nor do they offer Google's photography quality or the more usable wide/landscape form factor.
@@aliasgharkhoyee9501 This is for the enthusiasts who want a foldable and not deal with Samsung's software. This also offers a better display, 4GB extra RAM and double the storage of the Fold 5 for $100 less.
@@aliasgharkhoyee9501 But they offer double the storage, more ram and arguably better design for cheaper price tag. You lose some, you gain some.
@@aliasgharkhoyee9501 They establish themselves in their own category, not cameras or features but rather display, like was said in the video. This phone is aimed at tech enthusiasts and well, some rich Asians, duh. I think it was a great phone, though it would be nice if they'd dropped it down to 1k. They would be the only solid foldable at that price apart from techno's phone which wasn't even that good at 800 usd(?). You are wrong for saying that 1k is a realistic price since techno's offerings are already near to 1k and are yet using a mediocre chipset and specs and probably a average software experience too
They do offer an IP rating
@@aliasgharkhoyee9501
This is literally the first foldable device that I would buy. What a great device. By the way, you’ve been nailing every review I’ve watched lately. You’re becoming my favourite reviewer!
I love that it has a IR blaster, a feature I thoroughly missed from the days I had the HTC M7
The IR blaster is still common though not on flagships apart from the asus zenfones and maybe a few others
Dave, great video as usual. I just ordered the black one Plus Open along with the Tablet and ear buds. I paid a total of $2030 for the phone, tablet, 100 Watt charger, and ear buds. not a bad price for devices I'll be getting in 8 days. I've been wanting IR blasters forever. It's about time. keep up the great work.
The camera hump looks really nice to me.
This *_OnePlus Open_* kinda reminds me of that yellow _Nokia Lumia 1020_ I always wanted back in highschool -- but looks much more modern, clean and refined.
Another smartphone to get years later in the future, when I can afford it 😇
It works as a lip to rest on your finger too.
This is the first foldable that has me tempted. I’ve been waiting for this segment to mature and I think we’re just now starting to see that happen.
You continue to have more informative reviews than others, thank you for that!
OnePlus is always graded so different from other phone makers , they make a phone with the same exact standard as everyone else " boring ". It's great to see them fight back with Excellency... Make something so good it can't be denied . Will be trading s23 ultra for this
@@mezzb I completely disagree. Having owned most one plus devices since the beginning the cameras are shit compared to most other phones. I doesn't take a pro to see it. Oneplus has never had a "Great " camera. period.
The OnePlus selling point was top specs at undercutting prices. This time they got the specs mostly right, but not the low price.
If they want to charge similar to Samsung, they need to provide the missing features like DEX / stylus support / wireless charging etc, or at least excel in some other department enough that other brands can't compete - for instance if the charging speed was 200w, it would attract a portion of buyers like busy parents or executives who would otherwise not consider it.
Samsung has their whole ecosystem built over the years, apart from DEX/stylus etc, so a lot of people stick to it. Google does photography really well, and it has a unique form factor that suits productivity as well as videos (extra-wide front screen & landscape orientation when opened). What unique points does OnePlus have?
@@Techfanatic73op11 has perfectly decent cameras for the class. S23 base model is not better, and it costs more. Same with Nothing Phone 2 and all the other phones in the price range
OnePlus lost most of its diehard fans because of their increasing price, bad camera, green line issues etc. They lost their flagship killer mojo. Even Samsung fe series and pixel a series are better than OnePlus
@@dinkoistFE series are overpriced midrange A series, and Pixels can't compete with that shitty Samsung-made Tensor soc that's always 2 generations behind Qualcomm
I actually enjoy the back look of it quite a bit.
my only real con, at least from what i see on your video, is the lack of a Desktop/Dex feature.
but this might be my next phone once price come down a bit. coming from a Samgun Note 20 Ultra .
I'm in the same boat. I don't mind the pleather look on the back either. It looks quite professional in a way.
You can enable desktop mode even on prior OnePlus phones with USB3 it even works on my old 7T Pro. Its built in into Android it isnt that good experience like DeX but its still there.
@@derkaiser9881 to me it gives some proper "old camera" vibes with that big stupid camera island, which I (begrudgingly) don't mind. At least it is centered, so you can actually use your phone on a table.
@@simptrix007😢😮😮 0:09 0:10 0:11
Upgraded from note 20 to a fold 5 it's incredible. It's like the big daddy note no flaws whatsoever. I prefer a smaller outer display it gives meaning to opening the phone whereas in this it's just a normal screen outside
Gotta say, I think the phone looks overall incredible. If I were in the market for a foldable, which I can't see myself being, this would 100% be the one for me. It's gorgeous and hits all the right notes.
That brightness slider is amazing! You don't need a third party app to go that low, and is really nice not to get flashbang at night
Personally I really like the look of the camera module and even whole back of the glass version.
Yeah idk what he doesn't like about it
@@DanKaschel it's ugly
Same. It's not the best looking back ever, but it's not bad. I think it's funny that he compared it to the OP11 because I think THAT back looks hideous, along with the OP10.
I like it, especially in the green version. But I do think the pixel does look better
@@TheMoose2010 exactly what I thought. I don't like the back of the OnePlus 11 but this one is looking good.
Looks amazing tbh. The first foldable that actually makes me intrigued
Love the "one take" style where you are switching cameras on the fly. Respect.
imagine that camera ring could rotate and had lenses like a ND or polarising filter while the main lens stays intact! wouldve been a masterpiece
but then there are people who will complain about "so many moving parts".
Hearing good things about OnePlus from Dave feels like OnePlus is heading in a good direction
And their OS skin pushes them back in the wrong direction
@@keonxd8918 many people like it, incl me
@@keonxd8918 It aint that bad as everyone makes it to be. if you know what youre doing, the homescreen can be as same as the old OOS. Sure we did loose some features and stuff
@@keonxd8918 This isn't Color OS anymore.
They paid him, just like all the other big tech youtubers
The inner display camera cut out is not my favorite, but still amazing achievement for one plus
It's at least superior to Samsung's under display garbage.
Pixel Fold still does it best with zero hole punch and zero under display garbage.
🤣🤣🤣
It is funny but the round and symmetric back of the phone is exactly the reason why I love this foldable most of the current models. 😊
Been holding off buying a new phone for a year waiting for this. Seems it was worth the wait.
This phone looks incredible. I almost picked up a Fold 5 a few weeks ago but after learning about the Open, I'm definitely gonna go with it. The Fold 5 would've been my 5th Galaxy phone in a row and I really love them but Oneplus seems to have really killed it. Love the Emerald color too! It's not the best time for me to pick up a new, high end phone but I'm gonna start putting aside a little money to hopefully pick it up by the end of the year! Also gives me some time to see if any big issues arise with early adopters lol
Let us know how the software compares with one UI.
@@alphaspartanthat's my problem with other phones that aren't Samsung but damn the ui looks awesome, no theme customization tho😢
Great video!! I personally LOVEEE the aesthetic of the Open versus any other fold I've seen. That combined with the amazing specs for the price compared to the competition, it's a STEAL!!
Perfect video- from start to finish. Loved it
Holy hell, that scrolling list of apps side by side makes it way more like a desktop experience, and it's so obvious that I'm surprised nobody else ever thought it up! Definitely see that getting copied by competitors in the future.
It's weird that you hate the back, because I usually hate circular cameras on phones but this one pulls it off so well!
Bruh comparing it to the OnePlus 11? That is literally how *not* to do a circular camera notch, I absolutely hate it compared to the Open's version lol
Definetly a better first attempt than What the pixel brought to the table
Technically it's a third attempt, oppo is the same company 😊
Dave is always giving us great content, keep up the good work.❤
The sliding idea for apps is perfect!
Just got this one in the mail yesterday, really really impressed and the OS is like mind-blowing with regards to the multitasking and all the little options that are available, no RUclipsr reviewer has really gone into all the different options this OS offers. To me this is definitely the phone to get if you're looking for a foldable I think I'm going to keep this one
Been on the galaxy fold since the 3rd. On the 5 now. The external screen is still great. I'm glad there's more competition
I prefer the z folds cover screen personally. Way better for one handed use. Otherwise I'd just open the phone.
I actually really liked the design. Its unabashedly loud and has got a unique personality.
Great review as always
Are the Oneplus open and Oppo Find N3 the same in each and every aspect ?
Black 'leather' surface looks very much like what old cameras had, pretty cool
I just love the back of the phone! it's unlike every other phones on the market that are using glass back! For people who loves glass back they can get the other color one.
OnePlus needs to release 12GB RAM & 256GB version @ U$1500
Off topic question, but what icon pack are you using? I'm digging how clean those icons look!
sameee
im so glad the 'quirky' phones are getting good and tech is getting more sophisticated. I would probably not pick up anything but a basic regular phone, but Im happy about the progress
great vid. funny seeing you're reviewing items in my neighbourhood! Never knew you were from toronto.
damn, this is the first time I look at a foldable phone and it doesn't feel like it's a gimmicky device. This looks solid
OnePlus is the read deal, I have one best decision I have made, premium durable phone and the battery is amazing
If nothing else, this makes me more excited for the fold 6.
This competition is what is needed to finally kick Samsung to innovate (hopefully🤞)
Any chance you will daily drive this thing for a while? I'd be curious for a long term review.
I really like the camera module look. It’s sleek
I've been a big OnePlus fan/user up to the OnePlus 7 Pro (recently moved to Pixel 8 Pro). OnePlus has lost my attention since the 7 Pro, but this foldable looks top tier in the foldable market. I don't mind the back, Dave2D. Well done, OnePlus!
Some of the specs are great, but overall is it really top-tier? No stylus support, no IP rating, no wireless charging, no DEX equivalent, not significantly lower weight (some foldables are closer to 200g), not much slimmer (some foldables are under 10mm, like the Honor Magic V2), etc. It would have been great to see some features no competition comes close to, such as 150w-200w charging like on some of their other phones, or at least aggressive pricing till then - something like 1000 that most foldables sell for in China.
Same but I'll probably wait for 2nd generation of this phone. 7 PRO is still going strong.
@@CrispyCars My 7 Pro has got glitchy after Android 12 update. Yours doing the same?
@@RuelMorales I never updated to 12 because of that.
Even Android 11 slowed down my phone and I tried the upgrade. Got better in some ways. Worse in others. @@CrispyCars
They deserve to price it in the same bracket as the high-end foldables
I like the look of the camera module on this phone wayyyyy better than on Oneplus' regular phones and its a reason why I didn't consider buying their slab phones. If they had this module on their regular phones I'd definitely consider getting it if they price isn't too high.
I had to have looked at at least 10 different youtubers' reviews for the OnePlus Open. I was already convinced that I was upgrading to this phone instead of the Fold5 next month in January when I can afford it (I'm still using and currently typing on a Fold2 so its finally time to upgrade and I've been saving to do so) after the first 3 or 4 reviews. The other 6 or 7 I just keep watching because I'm just so excited to get it, I can't wait! After having used the Fold2 for the last 3 years and loving the hell out of it; I haven't felt like I've been missing anything in the foldable market really until I saw the HONOR Magic V2 and the OnePlus Open. I would honestly get the Magic V2 in a heartbeat but there's no set release date for the global launch of that phone, but the Open is just as appealing to me. I fell in love with foldables ever since I first laid eyes on the Fold2 and now being able to have one with AN OUTER DISPLAY THAT ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE A REGULAR PHONE is the biggest gamechanger to me and what I'm most excited for. The great software, really good camera for a foldable, the current gen panel tech, the IR blaster, etc are all great bonuses, but I swear the biggest perk to me is gonna be the outer display that I can actually use like a standard phone. Typing on the Z Fold's outer screen is so bad lmao
Why does the Pixel Fold look like a 1800$ child's toy compared to Fold 5 & Open 💀
Pixel always have bad hardware, when their software is unstable like pixel 7, it's just trash
Samsung this is what we need 😭I am still on my note 20 ultra and am not thinking about getting a new device. But if Samsung can replicate what OnePlus just did, i'd have to strongly consider
Fair pricing all things considered. I still hate no wireless charging but fine, I can deal with that in exchange for better display and performance and long battery life. Preordered at launch!
you are by far the best reviewer ive seen,
no bullcrap just straight to the point.
I appreciate that.great review.
I beg to differ Dave. I actually love the back of this phone. Its the most symmetrical camera lens distribution I've seen in smartphones in a while.The grey ring around it takes it to whole new level!
It’s still a first generation device and I don’t think we can come to a conclusion so quickly about this device especially when it comes to the hinge and the crease. Good effort from OnePlus, but can’t really take their word for everything.
Actually 3rd generation of OPPO find....
6:06 all things considered the fact a water resistant folding screen phone can handle those games at a steady 50fps is pretty amazing on its own
If the cameras was top spec, I would be very tempted to go with this one.
Also, I feel like they could have made a lower version with 12GB + 256GB and could've easily priced it at $1499, and that would've been such a crazy VFM at that price
They could have absolutely disrupted the market and taken a huge share by pricing aggressively, nearer to 1000 (which is a very realistic price, common in the Chinese market). Instead they seem to be blindly following other much more recognised brands, expecting to do equally well even though they're not so well known or trusted.
How are they expecting people to choose them over the established players? They don't even provide the Samsung specs, like wireless charging, IP rating, stylus support, DEX, etc nor do they offer Google's photography quality or the more usable wide/landscape form factor.
It's 1499$ now on OnePlus website even for 50$ off and 500$ trade in for my 10T got this phone for 949$ killer deal
Oh no. I love this look of the phone and I adore foldables - I have the Samsung Fold 4, but faux leather makes it faux luxurious.
I only clad my devices in REAL skin. *contemptuous noises*
whats that icon pack? it looks amazing! great review as always
With a device like this, it makes the laptop thingy without the processing hardwares becomes even more useful for multitasking. But it will be painful to work on Android, maybe.
I'm just worried it might heat up a lot because of its thickness. Otherwise, it looks awesome (except for the camera module)
Dave, it’s different for all of us. I LOVE that back look so much more than the OP11 haha
A product that includes a case AND a charger in the box?
I love this.
now we need this multitasking features in every tables!!
I think SAMSUNG's form factor for the Fold phones is justified for a theoretically better experience on consuming media horizontaly. Anyway, I still think this ONEPLUS Open is quite impressive and it would be my choice when shopping for a foldable at this moment.
You're delusional.
The outer display has a garbage aspect ratio for 21:9 movies and especially for 16:9 movies which will give you huge black bars on the sides.
Z Fold's outer display is meant to be used ONE-HANDED for quick tasks. Not for watching movies, etc.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M I was referring to the inside display as its priority when defining the aspect ratio.
I might be willing to go back to OnePlus if they didn't continually send out updates that didn't break their phones. I thought the merger with ColorOS was supposed to make things more stable?
I'm hoping that they push out updates to fix the cameras. That's the bummer for me. Looks good overall.
If Sammy would make the Fold 6 this aspect ratio/size, it would be perfect! For me, OneUI, Dex, software, feel etc. is important. Cameras on the 5 are fine. Not best but fine.
I guess I'm in the minority thinking this could be the perfect foldable, IMO. I literally couldn't care less about your 3 "misses". Don't use or want Dex, same with wireless charging, same with pen support.
Same. Fast charging is a must. PC mode on anything is only good for those who like to dock their devices to a monitor. I've used the regular android mode with ar glasses and the experience is just fine.
im in for a foldable, which one would you pick dave? this oneplus or the honor magic v2? any thoughts or advice for me ?
i like the back it reminds me of the sandstone black a bit and it's minimal industrial and not over stylized, doesn't look like a curvy SUV.
Figured out why Samsung has a tall display when folded; it's done that way so that when you unfold, you get a "main" display that's roughly 4:3 aspect ratio.
For the OnePlus Open, the unfolded display is 2440 X 2268 - that's pretty much a square display
Fantastic review 👍
Where can I find the icon packs you used in the OP Open? 👀
So close! One or two more generations and we will have a good folding phone.
There is an "extra dim" mode on the Fold FYI. As OLEDs get more and more dim, they lose color accuracy. So this mode helps me realize that I'm going to get odd colors when that dim.
Did you mention the honor magic V2 in your comparison? What is your view on that
Your Hair looks Good Man Dave! Keep it Up!
The outside screen aspect ratio on the pixel fold is objective perfection
Video aside, I think I really would've loved to see that gem alongside the phone as a purchase. It's really cool looking I want it!
Eye of the beholder and all that... I think the old school Hasselblad camera texture looks cool.
Great video. I love the dual video
I actually love the camera bump asthetics. It looks great.
i love the look of the camera tbh. pricing wise i think its good too
I think the crease becomes more prominent with use. As the phone ages, the crease too will deepen
Great video and takes :) but one thing I completely disagree with is the back of the phone (camera hump) I think it looks so much more clean and well designed, compared to the other OP phone you showed it looked tacky.
But I do agee with the faux leather back, it just looks bad, the other green variant has a much nicer look.
This is the first foldable I'm seriously considering.
11:11 sorry just want to ask you something, was the pixel fold back glass broke, did u accidentally break the glass when put it aside from the table? it doesn't matter but i just keep wondering why that glass break. no offense, i really loved your videos, i like how u reviewed products, etc. it's just my curiosity went in
Is that a through and through ADA setup at the back? And is the carpet HC or Monte Carlo?
Thanks for sharing it. ✌️
Comparing with Honor V2 Magic, any advice? Like your reviews on that one as well
Great review
The icons are nice. What did you use good sir
9:24 it does have pen support it will work with the Oppo Pen. It's not sold in the US but if you get one it does support it.
It's amazing how design is so subjective. I actually love the soft leather back. Glossy glass backs are so meh (in my personal opinion). What I was sad to hear was the camera isn't as good as Samsung cameras. If it was, I'd have seriously considered it over the soon to release S24 Ultra
Would love to see this phone in person. I love that we have options in foldables. I have the Pixel and love the design just wish it was a little taller and had a better processor. The Z fold 5 has a beautiful display, but that skinny outer screen is not for me. The OnePlus phone looks really nice. I like that camera design on the back. Makes it look like one of those old mini cameras. For a 1st time product for them it looks nice!
I saw the Oppo version of this phone in China and it really does look incredible, the crease is almost gone. If I was in the market for a foldable, I would definitely get this.
what launcher do you use Dave?
