    I agree with most of the scores...However, I can confirm from my exp YES One Plus Open atm is the best Folding phone as its got everything working well. Especially the cameras in Night and Portrait are superb and brilliant battery life in my usage and the best implementation of the split screen multitasking

    Thanks for all the videos around the Chinese foldables. Ironically you helped me with my purchase decision for the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 because for me the carbon fiber variant seems to disguise as a slab phone the most out of the bunch, including the Z fold 5 which understandably wasn't even in the running (though I appreciate that it exists because it basically got the momentum going on the foldable phone concept).
    On a more niche note, for those willing to take the risk with unlocking the bootloader and rooting, there's somehow a custom ROM scene for this foldable and rooting grants so much more granular control over the CPU/GPU, which can translate into major battery gains without any loss in performance for light to mid intensive use cases. It's not for the faint of heart and there's a lot of tinkering involved but the freedom it grants is amazing.
    I didn't think I'd enjoy using foldables as much as I do but I've basically stopped using my tablet.

    Great video Mike, for me the scoring looked like this Huawei 17, Honor 15, Xiaomi 13, OnePlus/Oppo 18 and Google 12, granted I haven't used every phone, just my hypothesis . It would have been cool if you had included the Samsung Z Fold 5, Huawei Mate X3 and Vivo X Fold 2 as they were both released this year and then you could have included an honorable mention for the phone that finished 6th.

    Great list! My list is dependent upon what I have available in the US (I have Verizon). That leaves me with the One Plus Open, Pixel Fold, and the Fold 5. I have a Fold 4 and have been a Z Fold user since the Fold 2. 1. One Plus Open, Z Fold 5, and lastly the Pixel Fold. Samsung has gotten lazy with not widening the front screen which is disappointing so if they don't step up this upcoming year with a redesign I will be switch to the next rendition of the One Plus Open hopefully with wireless charge (I have too many to not have a phone with that capability)

    I just pulled the trigger on the Pixel Fold over the OP Open being in Canada. With the beta software allowing app expansion AND you can have a 5x5 app grid. Im sold. No regrets. Also the aspect ratio of the main display makes more sense for youtube. Whats the point of having a big square screen when you can get more video real estate on a normal slab phone.

    @1Rutilius1 11 месяцев назад +4

    I am really hyped for the Honor Magic V2, especially since I heard you can update it now with Google Services.
    But what will be the difference between a V2 from China updated with GSM and a V2 sold in Europe after the global launch in January?
    I am asking bc the preceding Magic Vs started at 1600€ in Germany a couple of months ago. So if the V2 starts at a comparable price in 2024, it won't be your price winner anymore and everyone will be tempted to import it cheaper from China (1300€ now).
    Thus, I imagine they might build in some software differences or hurdles to encourage Westerners to buy locally at a higher price. Any ideas how such differences might look like? Really unsure whether to take the risk of importing now.

      Ich habe das V2 Ultimate mit GMS. Ein Top Gerät. Es funktioniert alles perfekt in Deutschland. Und der Preis ist unschlagbar bei Wonda. Zudem gehe ich davon aus, dass kurz nach dem Launch in Deutschland das V3 in China veröffentlicht wird.
      Zudem könnte es tatsächlich so kommen, dass, wie Dad vermutet, die EU Software für alle V2 verteilt wird. Wer weiß.....
      Das Vs2 würde ich nicht in Betracht ziehen.

    I am very glad to see that the V2 is rated better than the Mix Fold 3, since it has Google services via the update. I always liked the design of the V2.
    Now I live in Belgium and I am negotiating with some sellers to buy their "second hand" Oneplus Open. I am willing to pay max. €1200 and I thank it will be possible to get one at this price. If I can sell my Fold 5 for €900/€950, that would be a great deal for me.
    Dad, do you have info about how to migrate from Samsung to Oneplus? Especially the notes. Thanks!

    Great video overall, but I have to disagree with the "build quality" category. It's the only device with water proofing in the list. It's also, correct me if I'm wrong, the only one with wireless charging. Guess there should have been a "overall hardware features" category or something like that 😅 which also included the quality of the screens for example. I also think you should have scored each device individually from 1 to 5, not compared to the others. That way a device the scores would have made more sense with any device getting 1 or 2 points for a category just because it's not as good as the others. Sorry if it sounds like I'm complaining too much it's not my intent.

      @injinerconev 9 месяцев назад +1

      @@jacksonburger2081 Yes, design is subjective and all and the build could very well be super solid. To my eye it will remain the biggest waste of those expensive building materials, because it reminds me of watching TV in the wrong aspect ratio where everyone looks too short and too wide. It could look better in person so if I see one perhaps that would change my mind. It will still be a Google phone which is a big no no for me, but I do love the Pixel 8 and 8 pro's designs and they generally look fancy so was expecting their foldable to be similarly slick.

Is there a reason you're biased against pixels? Personally, I love mine and much prefer it over Samsung or Apple.
      Also, another thing to note is that videos won't change speech ratios based on your device. They stay the same aspect ratio, but black bars are added to either the top or bottom. Just fyi

    I would definitely agree about the Galaxy Fold 5 not being in the top 5 and I have been a Samsung customer since the original Note first gen. I love Samsung but I don't like who they have become. They compete with apple in the sense that they do tiny changes each year that does not justify the upgradeand the Fold has not changed that much since Fold 2 which to me is disgusting as the were the leaders in the Foldable market yet there are devices now like the One Plus Open and the Honor Magic V2 that are much better-looking devices as well as good value for money.
    I totally agree with your overall winner as 2 of my work colleagues have the One Plus Open and they love it. They upgraded from the Galaxy Fold 3 and they said the feel the design and the outer display is amazing. They also said that the cameras are excellent as well as the inner display. They have the 512gb and the 16gb ram option and they got them for around £1300 with a £300 discount from One Plus direct. I loved the Honor Magic V2 when it first came out and I see on a video. I know they are making a global version of it which would be amazing but the V2 is nearly 5-6 months old so they may bring out a new one next year. I still Have my Note 20 Ultra 5g as I was waiting for the Galaxy Fols each year to change the Aspect ratio of its outer display and it never came. However I have not jumped ship to an S22 or 23 ultra as there was not much of a difference between them and my Note 20 Ultra for me to spend that money. I know that Samsung are releasing the S24 Ultra which looks absolutely amazing with a flat display which is coming out in January 2024 however they have also been comments that Samsung will finally change the Fold 6 to have a better aspect ratio l/larger outer display and be slimmer but for me it is 4 Fold devices too late as Honor had the VS and V2 which beat them this year and last year so I can not make up my mind on what to buy but it will not be at least until 2024 so I have time.

    The prices are very different in my country. Honor is actually more expensive than one plus but it comes with a carrier which one plus does not and has a promotion now where you get a tablet and a watch
