This is why I like Parker’s review videos he actually uses the phone and notices weird bugs and annoyances such as google pay not working and many other mentions.
@@alwexxxxx unfortunately no, most big youtubers won't cover these, though you might get lucky with the smaller ones. Its worse when you are trying to decide what your next phone is gonna be. While Parker is not small by any means, it's good to have some coverage on this.
why not? a lot of people only wanna use the bigger display for some of the contents like gaming and media consumption. Thats maybe only 10-20% of the time which makes a lot of sense. On the other hand forcing user to use inner display by sacrifice the outer screen aspect ratio sounds like an excuse for me. I kind a get it that you get the better aspect ratio of innner display that way. but as you can see from a lot of new foldable phones. you can pretty much have the best of both worlds.
@@dimaphotographer90if they live in the real world no, they do not. They still use the phone as a.. phone, so not on the inner screen all the time. That has never been the thought of any foldable manufacturer.
@@nidhungl9334how would Samsung control the sizing settings app devs put in their apps? All Samsung can do is force apps to full screen, blowing up the size settings, resulting in exactly what you're seeing in this video. Google decided not to force this but instead shame app developers who don't support large screens by keeping their apps in the original size, even on the bigger display.
@@nidhungl9334probably because Samsung was kinda the first actual folding phone manufacturer, being at least 2 years ahead every other significant one, except the one that mad the flexpai
@@certifiedmoke Oh god the flexipai made me sad. There was no way that thing would ever be practical unless they made some new kind of super screen that can never get scratched.
I like the idea of having a second bigger screen to watch videos/movies, and this device has the greatest design, and it feels more solid than the others foldable devices, but I think the developers should optimize the apps for the bigger screen, to fit more information.
I'm really impressed with Parkers videos. They have awesome camera angles every now and then. He actually speaks about things that other reviewers don't talk about, like bugs, customization, specs, and whatnot. He really goes into detail so people can know instead of being all about the camera vs. iPhone and stuff. It's really great. Definitely means that if I were to buy a new phone (Samsung S24, for example), instead of looking at it and being like, "Oh, yeah, that looks good. I'll get that", without knowing the specs, I can go to this guy so I can get an almost complete review on it! I also love that style of camera. Like the one on the Nokia Lumia 1020. That is one extremely impressive phone for its age. I wonder how they got there so fast. Anyway, the camera dock thing looks very similar to this OnePlus Open, and I like it. Great video, Parker!
4:55 you can do the same thing on the Z Fold by pinning the Files app to the taskbar. Oh, and dragging files works uploading to Google Drive (make sure youre dragging the file to a folder in Drive, not to.the overview screen).
Im not gonna defend any aspect ratio but seriously if you are planning to spend so much money in a foldeable phone to spend only 10% on the inner screen just get a damn candy bar phone and save yourself some money.
As the Android Guy you should have mentioned that Samsung do allow do change the App Icons with the App "Theme Park". It is truly not that easy as OnePlus do it but it is possible. And I love to change the icons by using PNG Pictures to get as an example the old Instagram Logo because I don't like the new one.
small content suggestion would you consider using a different mic for longform video reviews that allow for better representation of low end in your voice?
Hi Parker. Great review. Your background sound in the video is a little bit above normal, which makes me not to hear you 100% clearly Would've been better if you reduce the background instrumenal a little bit .
I get its cheaper, but its only 100 dollars less then samsung and googles foldable. So the word cheaper doesnt apply here for me. if it was like 300 or more cheaper then the word cheaper would make sense.. Great summed up review tho. thanks for all you do.
If you order from OnePlus's website, they have a deal that gives an additional $200 off for literally any trade in. Like you could give them a cracked galaxy J1 that you get on ebay for $5 and get the discount. So, it's essentially $1499.
Very mixed feelings about your review. You check a lot of the basic review checkboxes but then you don't really showcase the Open Canvas, which is like a major software edge for this phone. You also use custom skins and keyboards and then complain about functionality even though that's 100% up to the app developers and not the phone manufacturer (same for Tiktok). Also your complaint about the home screen is mindboggling. I get that you only use 1 home screen, but just make a second one that's a copy of the first so you can use it while the phone is unfolded? Since you're not going to use it why are you so adamant about not having a second tab? Also basically no remarks about the speakers, the camera, the microphone,. It's like this super limited selection of things you care about. That's not a "practical review" that's an unfinished review. Honestly this review just has the energy of a regular phone review with almost no interest in the fold part.
I agree. This is why I watch Flossy Carter because of his subjective review on everything he reviews. I highly recommend him if you ever want an extensive overview of any tech you're interested in. This guy definitely has room for improvement.
So I had a Z-fold 4 and liked it, and shared many of the same complaints you had, the aspect ratio and software bugs. But my biggest complaint by a mile was the fragile hinge, I live in FL and that means sand is an issue, that ruined the first fold I got. How does the hinge feel on this foldable? Is it practically open like the Fold 3? Or does it seem more robust?
Same here ...my fold 4 ended at the service centre bcz of the hinge which got damaged and later on even damaged my whole display. Sold it after repair but i liked the fold. Hope on next release they manage to give dust resistance too
@@ikusanjaysame here. I've had Fold 2, 3 and 4, all the inner screens broke. Two with cracks, one a catastrophic failure. Had the last one fixed under warranty, sold it today. One Plus Open is already ordered. Normal aspect ratio cover screen alone sold it. My wife's Flip 4 also developed cracks too. Not good.
Coolest review ever . I like the phone but oneplus have one of the worst service exper , if your phone have manufactured defect you may have to throw it in trash because it happened to with my oneplus tv that was defected and they didn't even send a service guy now iam regretting and same was with my brother's phone.
The second issue you mentioned about Google Pay, I heard another review mention this, since you got a review sample, your review device does not have the ability to use that feature. But retail phones can and should work with Google Pay
I love my pixal fold and wish i waited for this to come out. May wait until gen 2 of this phone. Wireless charging is a must for me. It can only get better from here i hope.
Why do people hold onto these kind of microphones? Parker, your audio levels are going all over the place as you swing it around and try to talk with your hands. I see so many people holding onto the mic and it seems to be a "style" choice rather than a functional one.
Great device, so happy with it and I am coming from a Pixel Fold. Apologies if this has been said already, but where/how I can get that white theme Parker has on his phones?
In terms of battery life, it could be the software itself. You said that the phone has not gone through it's first software update, so it might have bugs in it. But still, battery life instability where it last extremely long on a day and another day it's just last around 2 hours is truly an issue for that phone.
If I'm using a foldable phone outside display 90% of the time then I'll just buy a normal phone. I guess that's why it's called a "foldable" not an "openable" hinting that while the outer display should be very much useful. The inner folded display is the main highligt and should be considered (optimized) first. IMHO
I think the recents bugging out may be a launcher-Anrdoid issue, a similar thing occurs on third party launchers on anything after Android 10 on certain phones. I personally have the issue with Nova on a LG V50
If you're so unsure and doubtful about the issues, should've waited for the update that was supposed to be rolled out. Makes no sense to come up with a video and then be unsure about the device's software aspects.
That wallpaper dimming is actually a feature u can turn off that in settings - display - on dark mode there u will get to see another option -(dark mode settings - adjust wallpaper to dark mode off that
I wish they could make the corners a bit boxy because when the phone is folded on half it kinda looks weird for being rounded on the corner of the right side but pointy on the left side and with the folded form factor its not possible to have all 4 edges rounded
New subscriber here! Great review! Love that the Chick-fil-A app next to the Bible app 😂 really enjoy your reviews and RUclips shorts! Thanks for what you do and for being real! God bless!
I dream to own a folding phone and one plus open is probably my favorite so far because it looked normal when closed but there out of budget for me still but it’s still fun watching reviews on folding phones to track the progress of the technology
"In using the outside display 90% of the time" So pay $1600 for the main feature to be used only 10% off the time. This is exactly the reason why Samsung did not make the screen wider.
One plus open, Xiaomi Mix fold 3, and Honor Magic and perhaps pixel fold have better designs, however z fold 5 has better software and features. Next year I predict the z fold 6 ultra will take the crown as best Foldable of all time.
This phone alone surpassed 5 generations of Samsung's foldables in design and optimization in one generation. Samsung's goal is to milk their customers. What makes you think they will go in a different direction when they have literally been doing the same for years?
Not to spread hate or anything but I really hate people who comment oo parker your reviews are so good your camera angles are so good oo your content quality is good Man they talk about off topic more than the actual phone 😓
The reason that the screen have that big crest on the screen cause it follows oppo technology with slight difference like the oppo find N which has the tear drop folded screen so it extend its durability of the folding up to 5+ years(10+years company claim).
Yea the keyboard lagging is 200% a swift key issue... My swift key had been doing the exact same thing since a month now so a really bad idea testing a new device with a 3rd party keyboard.
If we could combine the basic tech Samsung gets right with software (minus the double apps and ads) with the design of OP that'd be pretty close to perfect. I have a wireless charger but I use it for my buds mostly. It's just not for me.
I only like holding my phone with two hands for watching videos/movies and playing games. Since I won't be doing that most of the time, so I'm still not sold on foldables.
what all these people dont realise is that, the un-folded state was intended to be use by not being on the move ;). Thats what the outer screen is for, its quite funny imo since they complained about the screen being to small on samsung then its too narrow etc etc. The final result is that consumers never and i mean will never be satisfied with anything and will always nitpick on stupid things which is basicly common sense. The conclusion is that if you dont like the way it is then keep to use the standard candybar style smartphones nobody is forcing or threatning you to buy a folding phone. I know i know the temptation of new tech is high but really when does people accept that nothing is perfect not even in a personal view and by nothing i mean nothing is litterally considered perfect, you may say it is but in reality its just your personal opinion and that is also okay to feel that way but it does not change the fact that nothing is perfect EVER. I love samsung galaxy z fold 5 but fk man when i changed to oneplus open i sold the z fold 5 withing 1 hour since i love the form factor of oneplus open better than the z fold. Sure z fold 5 does have a lot of pros but most i rarely even used, and coming from that formfactor over to a "standard" wide large outer screen while still being able to consume content on a bigger screen sealed the deal for me tbh. I've used xiaomi mix fold 2/3 and also vivo's fold but none of them screamed OMG this is "PERFECT".
Mine broke after 2 months and now I have to send it back for 5 to 7 business day to get it fixed ridiculous it should have simply traded me it was defective phone I should have just simply sent me a new phone and I send them this one back but instead they're making you send it in to get it fixed and making me pay for it never settle for OnePlus
You complained about screen scaling on the inner display but you didn't show if you tried to change the scaling to allow more content to be shown. Maybe changing the scaling would have fixed your issue, but we don't know.
Its weird, i use the outer screen about 10-20% of the time. Why wouldnt you use the inner display when you buy a foldable. Like buying a gaming pc to browse facebook
"wireless charging" isn't a flagship feature, its a dumb trend they latched onto when its objectivly worse than normal charging, together with the "wireless" being a lie. its insane to me that people complain about something so shitty
Because it's useful when you don't have a cable and a brick. Also, being able to reverse wireless charge is great. I forgot to charge my wireless headphones and they died shortly after I started my day. I put them on the back of my Z Fold 5 and charged them enough to get through the rest of my day.
The inner display issues you are having is nothing to do with OnePlus... It's the developers of the apps the need to develop them in the correct aspect ratio
This is why I like Parker’s review videos he actually uses the phone and notices weird bugs and annoyances such as google pay not working and many other mentions.
almost everyone does.
@@alwexxxxx unfortunately no, most big youtubers won't cover these, though you might get lucky with the smaller ones. Its worse when you are trying to decide what your next phone is gonna be.
While Parker is not small by any means, it's good to have some coverage on this.
Google pay will work at launch. That's common with prerelease phones.
Google pay does not work on review phones.. watch mkbhd’s review of this phone you will understand
Google pay cash is king sorry.
Well. If you are using the inner display only 10% of the time then folding phones aren’t for you.

@@destinbourgeois632exactly haha
The first problem you mentioned with Tiktok is scaling problem that exists for all foldables, it's up to the app developer to optimize the app for it.

It's a tinier screen. I guess.

We're here for the long form videos
I don't understand how reviewers use the phone for like 6-7 days and judge the phone. They should use the phone at least 2months
Probably because they want to post more than 6 videos each year.

The construction of this cell phone is perfect, you can barely even notice the fold on the screen
The wallpaper dimming is because of dark mode. If you go into the dark mode settings you can toggle the wallpaper dimming. I hope this helps

"wireless charging" isn't a flagship feature, its a dumb trend they latched onto when its objectivly worse than normal charging, together with the "wireless" being a lie. its insane to me that people complain about something so shitty
good review, but i have to ask - what's up with the fish fly mic? nit pic
Nothing about the cameras? I just want to find a low light picture of objects in motion review
Is this thing going to get more than 512gb? I emulate a lot of shit on the go and would like at least a terabyte option! Or add back the SSD por favor
why wirelesly charge your phone if an one plus can charge to full in about 45 min
Makes no sense right🤯
EXACTLY
Because it's useful when you don't have a cable and a brick. Also, being able to reverse wireless charge is great. I forgot to charge my wireless headphones and they died shortly after I started my day. I put them on the back of my Z Fold 5 and charged them enough to get through the rest of my day.
Second
That google feed thing is inbuilt in one plus os. U cant change it unless u root it and decide to change it.
The inner display issues you are having is nothing to do with OnePlus... It's the developers of the apps the need to develop them in the correct aspect ratio
Oneplus have always let you change icon pack natively
This guy hasn’t got a clue…The google pay just wasn’t available in review units. It’s a very common known thing.
Quick question; why are you holding your mic instead of clipping it to your shirt? Wouldn't that be more convenient?
If u compare its one of best but in terms of overall normal phone its kinda gimmick but a good one... Bugs can be fixed so its still good
Hi
At 8:58, To find what it is that's draining your battery, goto developer options in your settings, and then scroll to running services.
Bro somebody is using your videos for advertising without your permission and I have the proof, how do I send it to you?
That keyboard bug is really bothering me... I tried 3 different keyboards and nothing seem to fix it...
I think you forget to mention the most annoying thing about this device which is that thug camera pump
Should I change from a55 to s23?
Can u please tell me pros and cons?🥰
It's my first time watching your vids in long form. Hi Parker. 18:43
