My Open is bonkers fast. And no way the Pixel beats it. My Open is destroying my coworkers s23 and my sisters fold 5. My coworker bought the open after he saw how badass my open is.
@@scaryifliteral I did, the video is great, per usual. Lol, but the pixel is just garbage in my experience, I could not use it past a week. Although, if I only had two choices, the fold 5 and the pixel, I would have to choose the pixel.
I mean tbh it doesn't even matter. The only thing that matters is if the end user is happy with their device. Tbh most people who would prefer a wider, more usable outer display will probably go with the pixel fold. Speed is not everything it's only part of it. @@jiml.9026
I love the Pixel specific features and form factor of the fold. I just wish multitasking was more powerful on the Pixel Fold and the open/close was a bit smoother like the Open. Each device definitely has its pros and cons and im lucky enough to be able to own both as well.
In all fairness, the fact that you can see a 1 sec difference when opening an app or one of them renders something 5 seconds faster shouldn't make you not choose that device. I have a Huawei mate 40 pro, with the 3-4 year old kirin 9000 processor and I recently got the z fold 5. Honestly I don't see that much of a difference, I still use the Huawei because it's still (to my surprise) on par with the latest sd 8g2 phones. It depends on the software and how much of a princess you are regarding to the millisecond difference in app opening. Also I tried the same games on both and both of them get sometimes pretty warm to the touch. Maybe the Tensor chips would get a bit warmer, idk, but if you are not one to go insane mode on your phones, leaving them filming in 4k for an hour out in the summer sun, then you should be ok with the pixel as well
My issue is that the fold does not have Google's latest and greatest technology. For a device that they want to charge almost $2,000, that is a hard pill to swallow. It's always going to be behind the pro model unless they do something drastic like delay of release of the fold 2 until they can put the G4 chip in the device. For $2,000, can we at least get the same cameras that you're putting on a device that is half the cost? Don't get me wrong. I still love this device but for it not to have the latest and the greatest tech that Google has to offer, is kind of disappointing
The Fold, like Samsung's, will always be a mid-gen release and will therefore always have the next faster SOC coming in less than half a year. Wait for the G3, the G4 is 6 months away. Wait for the G4, the G5 is coming. What I never can understand is why I see this comment all the time about the Pixel, but never for the Z Fold, even though it's the exact same situation. Not that that part has anything to do with you lol.
The overall speed and performance of both of these devices all has to do with the software optimization. No matter how you put it, the Google Pixel Fold software will always be more optimized than the OnePlus Open software.
Had both, the fold just seemed heavier to handle. Liked the google feature set as well. Have the Open now and still have email notification issues. Sold the Fold but like them both.
i had the one plus open, now i have the pixel fold(also got all samsung foldables and huawei xs2, x3 and honor magic v2). For me pixel fold is still the best and thats cos the aspect ratio is simply better, i love to use the external display that is like a passport, i dont care that is a little slower, but the usability is sooooooo better on pixel fold, is the one i kept, of all this foldables
I have the Pixel Fold and I've love the smoother apps with Google software don't care about benchmarks. I don't want anything else my 2 years old Z Fold 3 I can't even carry no more. Now 6 months running Android 14 beta QR2 it's faster than your test. I agree.
I was goin to get the fold but bcuz my pixel 6 pro had so many problems I wanted to try something new so I got the OnePlus open an I like it alot ...it's my first foldable but I wonder how I would like the fold
I’ve had the same phones too and for me Oneplus Open is the best of them ALL! Much more convenient aspect ratio for all you need to do. At this point is a matter ok likes.
I'm going from a Galaxy S22 Ultra to the Open and on some apps and games I'm amazed how much faster they open than the S22 Ultra. I was surprised even though the older phone is older.
@@asciishallreceive3871 I am planning the same upgrade! S22U to OP Open. How do you find the camera and battery differences? Also day to day carrying the phone (weight)? I have started feeling S22U to becoming very slow recently.
@@ShubhamRajdhar Battery is amazingly good, it lasts a long time and charges so fast with the SuperVooc charger. It's slightly heavier but not a LOT heavier. It's definitely quicker, but part of that may be because I don't have a few years of old apps installed yet. 🙂
@@ShubhamRajdhar Oh and the camera is just as good, it's a tiny bit more unwieldly holding it if it's open but you can lay it down half folded to take a stable picture without a stand.
Bought my Pixel fold for $1100.00 open box and I love it. Sure the oneplus opens inner display looks nicer but tbh the one on the pixel fold isnt bad at all. I think this phone is a very good introduction for Google. This fold has the best outer display and I hope they dont change that with the 2nd gen. Performance isnt bad either
I have both units and truth be told i use thr OnePlus during the week days as i put both work snd personal SIM cards in it ..... incredible to carry just one phone now....but on the weekends its all Fold.... Its just as quick snd i much preder the form factor and all the Google magic. If it took dual SIM cards it would he thr daily driver. Both unreal ..... And equally as quick. Thanks for the vid Shane.
I don't if you know this but I use dual sim on my pixel fold and the way they implement using it is simple and I love it Also it's one physical SIM card and one E sim
@@HitDrip I did know this but I have two physical SIM's and switch phones pretty often so I want to keep the physical SIM set up. I appreciate the heads up though
Love your videos. As an owner of both I left the Google Fold because I had poor cellular radio performance and a few more crash/freeze that needed force quits or rebooting. BUT the overall speed of the chips is too close to complain about and the Google Fold has MUCH better dictation and AI features that work with Google that I miss dearly on the One Plus Open. I also I like the form factor on the Pixel, I didn't think I would at first but I do miss that bookish feeling. But the Open is so much lighter than the Pixel I still don't regret switching. Hopefully in a few years when Google actual can start making their own radios the Pixel Fold will be lighter and I can switch again. Thanks for the content
For someone that usually get top of the line phones, i might be a spec junky. I did pre order the P9PF, and I hope i will like pixel and a foldable, the lesses camera's the lesser battery, lesser SOC. Hmm :) I am not acting like I used to, i am not gaming as much since i have a kid and make much more photo's. So I hope i made the correct choice!
The One Plus software has always been an issue in every OP phone I've owned. It'll never change. Google is by far above everything when it comes to its updates. Every month? Brilliant. Pure Android Software is brilliant . Bad cameras? Stop it. I used my fold to film Metallica the first day I owned it. Fabulous results and audio. I'm not a gamer. I could care less if my Fold is processing faster than the speed of light. Senseless talking point. The Pixel Fold is one of the best phones on the planet.
Currently I feel all foldable devices have shortcomings. For me, the crease is the biggest problem, so I deal with the inferior software on the OnePlus Open, as OnePlus has somehow made an almost invisible crease. Root and Magisk/Xposed modules help a lot, but I'll admit that's not something you should have to deal with.
First off, great channel and videos. Super insightful and helpful. Because of your videos, I obtained both the OPO and Surface Duo 2. Something I just noticed was that I'm getting much faster WiFi speeds on the SD2 than the OPO. I believe that's because the OPO only has 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, where as the SD2 also has 802.11 ax. I'm seeing more than 3x WiFi speeds on the SD2. (Funny enough, even my Samsung Note 10+ has 802.11 ax and gets faster WiFi speeds than the OPO. Of course, the CPU is a different story.) Do you know of any benchmark comparisons between the OPO and SD2? (Or could you do one?) Again, thanks for all you do! (Next, I'll contemplate putting Android 14 on the SD2. You think it's worth doing?)
@@scaryifliteral I've tried that and it doesn't seem to make a difference. Maybe mine just doesn't have the 802.11 ax capability, even though it can see WiFi 6. (Honestly, I'm a little out of my depth beyond this technological part.) I just did a speed test and the OPO came in third after SD2 then Note 10+. Strange.
@@scaryifliteral On a different topic, do you still feel Android 14 on SD 1&2 is still just a fun thing to try? Or do you feel it's worth doing and keeping on the device full-time? I mostly need to use it for work apps, which are requiring A14 for security.
I have the Pixel 8 Pro and the Oneplus Open. 've been bouncing back and forth between two and trying to figure out which one to keep. Right now, I'm leaning pretty heavily toward the P8P because the software and voice control/texting experience on Pixel devices is so much better. Plus, with all foldables, you end up using the outside screen the majority of the time. That said, having played w a Pixel Fold, I really dont like its form factor; It's too wide and heavy. I really hope they go with a narrower form factor and lighten up the Fold 2. They also need to use a matte screen protector on the inner display and have it run closer to the edge of the screen. Having the screen protector that far away from the edge would drive me nuts if i was using it regularly. Finally, if the Fold series is going to be a flagship, it really needs to launch with whatever Google's latest processor is.
What people miss, is that the Google Pixel fold, if it waited for the tensor G3, they would have to make a ton of those because they would be making it for three different phones at the same time. I'm not sure they would be able to scale that many, especially with launching those other two phones at the same time. Maybe it's possible. Just saying that would be a complication
There are many good reasons why Google and Samsung release their Folds midway through an SOC's first year. I wouldn't be surprised if this was part of it for Google.
@@scaryifliteralyup, I'm not upset that they waited. Price was probably cheaper because they had better yield on those chips by then as well. The G2 is still a good SOC and pairs will with this device. I wish it had a stylus, but otherwise it is a good device. I want the Pixel Fold to support keyboards better when multitasking and I wish it would support Phone Link and Miracast.
Excellent. this is my exact same results from my Pixel Fold. all the issues claimed by other are from people who do N0T own the phone, just negative propaganda. my main complaint is the Fold is so heavy, but then it looks and feels very S0LD and premium. I daily run Pixel Fold and 15 Pro Max and rotate Fold5 in the mix when I get bored
In reality, how many hours are you using Pixel Fold outside on modem? Wifi has never been the issue of G2, it's the modem. That's what gets hot when the phone uses a lot of energy to try to grab and hold onto signal and that's what kills the battery.
I understand your statement about the age of processors, but the thing to also consider is this is Google's first foldable. In terms of first impression i think the majority felt pretty let down. If they would have launched with the G3 I think it could have tied or beaten zfold 5 in terms of popularity and given itself a good image for when they release their next foldable. All that being said I still think I prefer the form factor of the pixel fold.
Thanks for this video Shane. This is the exact reason why i ditched Samsung. They keep making basically the same z fold and putting an updated processor in it but i personally never notice any performance difference when it comes to any snapdragon version. I am sure the same can be said for Googles G2 and G3 chip. I wanted a drastic design change for a foldable and i feel like i got that with the pixel fold and i love it..I just need google to work on the cellular connectivity with their chips and i will be happy.
I think what Google should have done is released the Fold with a Tensor G2 plus with maybe different clocks speeds or tsmc manufacturing. Just a little something to differentiate it from the 7 and 7 pro.
Continuing to rinse your PFold content! Form factor and software > a slight performance advantage for me. Hard to think of anything I miss from my other fold (Samsung F4), maaaaybe the slightly less obvious crease and pure flat folding? Nitpicking
🥰 thank you so much for your videos that I have been trying to decide what foldable to get. I have a quick question about the pixel fold. Does it get hot? I am always on video chat on my pixel 6 Pro and it gets extremely hot where I have to get off the phone.
In my experience, high performance mode doesn't have a noticeable effect on normal day-to-day use. You might see a slight increase in benchmark scores and I guess there's a chance that the video processing could be slightly faster.
Most people just don't understand that the software is just as important as the hardware. You have all the specs in the world, but if you have a horrible OS or one that cannot maximize the chipset of a phone, it might as well be paper weight 😂
You know, people focused on spec, generally miss the reality of the situation. During your demonstration, rare were the clear cut winners. Usability is lost when reading spec. Period. I used to say, bank in the day, how much of a blur do you want to miss? Both are incredibly fast. 🤷🏼♀️.
Great video shane, hey does your pixel fold have Bluetooth and wired audio issue. Like it play the song than after just go silent even tho its showing it's playing. I just got my replacement and it's still having that problem.
You have to select which mode you want to have broadcasting to the speakers. There is nothing wrong with the unit it's assuming your using the charge port to plug in a headset.
@@nv00021 What do you mean? I don't have problems with the speaker, I literally can't use Bluetooth, it play like one song then go silent with the same volume. With my pixel buds no sound comes out and it says it connected, but if I connect to my surface dou they work fine.
@@keitaparada1497 Maybe I did not understand your issue..... just for clarity.... when the bluetooth stops are you plugging the Fold to be charged or anything into he USB-C port?
Even from a gaming perspective, I've been able to run any game(dead cells, the GTA trilogy, and COD Mobile) on both devices with zero issues at the same settings. People act like because the processor doesn't compare in benchmarks, it can't game at all. Another aspect that is crazy about this comparison, is the fact that the Pixel Fold is running Google's 2022 processor, not the G3 that released this year. I'm still hoping they push the Fold 2 launch to fall of next year though, not because of performance, but because Google seems to like to lock software features to certain chips. Not having video boost and magic editor on my Pixel Fold hurts my soul lol
I think a lot of the time these benchmarks are over hyped. The companies that make these such as Qualcomm I think are over exaggerating the difference in the generations of these newer chips. Hence why your test isn't giving a clear win to the open which is misleading and false advertising. That in itself is very frustrating considering how many people upgrade on the strength of these new chip sets. I mean apple have been doing this for the past 7 years 😮
Yeah, That's sort of why I do videos like this where I try to show a whole bunch of actual real world use because benchmarks alone don't tell you a whole lot anymore.
😂 the fact that you have to ask. But my opinion is that it is enough to be noticable unimpressive but the software intuitiveness makes it less clombersom. Like having a big comfortable shoes that you can't run in😅
The perception is that the Pixel is on this old SOC and is therefore noticeably slower. See it all the time in comments, hopefully this helps put that to bed because... other than gaming it's really not true.
What is oneplus waiting on to release android 14 for the phone, they were in the system to be one of the first to get the release from day 1, so what are they trying to figure out that's giving them problem still...
Software fighting with hardware. Unfortunately oneplus never will be optimized like pixel. However im sure Chinese version running 3 times better than US version of firmware (even if they are looks the same)
Man the OnePlus display and design almost makes the pixel look like a prototype
My Open is bonkers fast. And no way the Pixel beats it. My Open is destroying my coworkers s23 and my sisters fold 5. My coworker bought the open after he saw how badass my open is.

Also I tried the same games on both and both of them get sometimes pretty warm to the touch.

Gonna be honest, if a purchasing factor of a multi-thousand dollar device comes down to animation speed, you're looking at two VERY good devices.

🥰 thank you so much for your videos that I have been trying to decide what foldable to get. I have a quick question about the pixel fold. Does it get hot? I am always on video chat on my pixel 6 Pro and it gets extremely hot where I have to get off the phone.
Did you turn on high performance mode on the oneplus? Don't know if it will make a difference but would be interesting to see.
In my experience, high performance mode doesn't have a noticeable effect on normal day-to-day use. You might see a slight increase in benchmark scores and I guess there's a chance that the video processing could be slightly faster.
I would think when it comes to Google native apps like RUclips they would optimized for the phone Google created , y'know? Just a thought.
Probably a dumb question, but what happens when a phone call comes in when either phone is in tablet mode? Have never seen this demonstrated.
Nothing too weird, pretty much the same as usual, just bigger iirc.
Googles optimisation is too good even with slower processor it still beats or even keeps up imagine if google actually used a snapdragon processor
Im a designer... OnePlus simply wins over Fold, because of the pen support. I cant even try another (Unless I want to carry a tablet too). ✌️
Most people just don't understand that the software is just as important as the hardware. You have all the specs in the world, but if you have a horrible OS or one that cannot maximize the chipset of a phone, it might as well be paper weight 😂
You know, people focused on spec, generally miss the reality of the situation. During your demonstration, rare were the clear cut winners. Usability is lost when reading spec. Period. I used to say, bank in the day, how much of a blur do you want to miss? Both are incredibly fast. 🤷🏼♀️.
100%
Great video shane, hey does your pixel fold have Bluetooth and wired audio issue. Like it play the song than after just go silent even tho its showing it's playing. I just got my replacement and it's still having that problem.
Nope!
You have to select which mode you want to have broadcasting to the speakers. There is nothing wrong with the unit it's assuming your using the charge port to plug in a headset.
@@nv00021 What do you mean? I don't have problems with the speaker, I literally can't use Bluetooth, it play like one song then go silent with the same volume. With my pixel buds no sound comes out and it says it connected, but if I connect to my surface dou they work fine.
@@scaryifliteral you are lucky, I have to carry my surface dou for bluetooth things
@@keitaparada1497 Maybe I did not understand your issue..... just for clarity.... when the bluetooth stops are you plugging the Fold to be charged or anything into he USB-C port?
I thing pixel fold great phone .. thank u bro good video 🌹
If you could only pick one or the other which would it be
I'm returning my OnePlus open.
Does anyone here know how to file for a repair for the open under warranty?
Even from a gaming perspective, I've been able to run any game(dead cells, the GTA trilogy, and COD Mobile) on both devices with zero issues at the same settings. People act like because the processor doesn't compare in benchmarks, it can't game at all. Another aspect that is crazy about this comparison, is the fact that the Pixel Fold is running Google's 2022 processor, not the G3 that released this year. I'm still hoping they push the Fold 2 launch to fall of next year though, not because of performance, but because Google seems to like to lock software features to certain chips. Not having video boost and magic editor on my Pixel Fold hurts my soul lol
Magic Editor is the one I want 😬
I think a lot of the time these benchmarks are over hyped. The companies that make these such as Qualcomm I think are over exaggerating the difference in the generations of these newer chips. Hence why your test isn't giving a clear win to the open which is misleading and false advertising. That in itself is very frustrating considering how many people upgrade on the strength of these new chip sets. I mean apple have been doing this for the past 7 years 😮
Yeah, That's sort of why I do videos like this where I try to show a whole bunch of actual real world use because benchmarks alone don't tell you a whole lot anymore.
@@scaryifliteral 💯👍
What do you recommend to have my one plus open 120 refresh rate set to high or 60 refresh rate and does it make a difference.
I love the high refresh, I leave it on 120.
Good video
😂 the fact that you have to ask. But my opinion is that it is enough to be noticable unimpressive but the software intuitiveness makes it less clombersom. Like having a big comfortable shoes that you can't run in😅
The perception is that the Pixel is on this old SOC and is therefore noticeably slower. See it all the time in comments, hopefully this helps put that to bed because... other than gaming it's really not true.
Both very nice phones but man those bezels 😮
Make it much easier to hold without accidentally touching the screen? You're right! Lol
Yeah they things are hard to ignore 😂
@@jamiehunter3567 100% reminds me of when tablets first came out
@@dandesjardins2552 yep looks very very dated
The OnePlus looks better.
Remember the oneplus open is on Android 13 and the pixel fold is on Android 14 comeback to review when it's on Android 14 bought.
What is oneplus waiting on to release android 14 for the phone, they were in the system to be one of the first to get the release from day 1, so what are they trying to figure out that's giving them problem still...
@@RJ_Uploads 🤷🏽♂️
@@gabiaito same here 😂
Still on 13.? 😢
@@kaboon11 yep
Shane skip these and put your SIM in your DUO already..
Those days are long gone.. lol
@@scaryifliteral I guess... In many ways. I lived on your DUO videos. Actually, I'm typing to you with my DUO2 now. DUO1 is on charge haha.
Software fighting with hardware.
Unfortunately oneplus never will be optimized like pixel. However im sure Chinese version running 3 times better than US version of firmware (even if they are looks the same)
First! RawrXD
Hi
Esa funda del pixel marrón donde la compraste amigo?
