    As a non content creator, as an average user, TH-cam, Instagram, gaming, etc, switching from the fold, the open is a better upgrade for an average user. If u want a powerhouse app eater, sure Samsung, but not everyone is like you 😅

    Great video! I still have the Fold 3, because I didn't think Samsung did enough to warrant me upgrading. Then the OnePlus Open came along and I had a lot of interest, but you helped me determine that there were features I really needed on even my Fold 3, that the Open just did not have. So I am waiting on the next iterations of these phones until I upgrade. I appreciate you answering my questions on the your last video, that made that decision easier, because there was a lot of buzz regarding the Open... but it just would not suit my use-case.

      I think the samsung is a safer bet. Some good points made on this video re software and flexibility. In my country ireland the Fold 5 can be picked up brand new for 1100e from small phone shops with registered 2yr warranty. Oneplus is still 1600 or 1800e only direct from oneplus.
      Samsung is repairable anywhere but the oneplus has to be mailed back and only has 1yr std warranty.
      I also don't think a narrow screen is a downside, look at it like a bonus.

Most people don't care about every bell and whistle and I'm one of them. I had both because if I was going to spend the money I wanted to choose between the two but I personally prefer the z fold based off how it feels in my hands and how easy it is to put in my pocket. However, the aspect ratio on the OnePlus open is better

    mad respect bro! love the detailed videos and unbiased opinion. I'm using the Fold 5 right now and returned the OPO because it just wasn't for me. Both devices are solid devices for different crowds. I love the fold 5 with its more robust customization capabilities and better software (in my opinion). I was interested in the OPO because of its better hardware but the software was just missing and inconsistent for me. Some people don't care about that so it's perfect for them. The different opinions online, specially on reddit, that one destroys the other in every way is just ridiculous. Again, both are very solid devices but just for different crowds.

    Grest video. I agree alot of your points about the F5's advantages including that the Open's massive camera bump is a detriment when holding it one handed. I ultimately went witht the Open because of better camera and gaming.
    I like to play CodM and Warzone Mobile (in 4:3 aspect ratio) and the Open handles these games significabtly better (not perfect) than the 5. Thermal managenent is a big plus of the Opens but is mostly noticeable when gaming.

    I've been so torn thinking about switching to the Open from my Fold 5 for various reasons. The Open is the only phone that has even come close to making me consider getting rid of my Fold since I've had a Fold since the second generation. I kept going back and forth between if I should get the Open and trade in my Fold 5 in. Everyone you see online says to get the Open. But I think your video said it best. Thank you for helping me make up my mind to stick with my Fold 5 as you're right it really is superior even if the open is a good phone.

    I love my zfold 5! Personally I think it's the perfect aspect ratio. The ONLY thing holding it back is the cameras! The main lens is great. It would be nice if it had a bigger lens but it's still great. But the ultra wide is mid at best and the 3X lens is trash. I don't really mind the ultra wide but Samsung does need to put a 50/64 MP 3X periscope lens if they're going to stay competitive imo

      Here is my one thing...and before I get to that, loved the review, my guy. Spotted the Toronto accent right away. But, music. Wireless. No one ever talks about this. But if you have expensive headphones, with aptx HD, aptx adaptive or aptx lossless, one plus wins. And Samsung could make it available. Snapdragon-Qualcolm chips created and supports those codecs. Licensing fee is maybe $10. At this price point, who would notice. I can't support Samsung bricking my phone for their silky proprietary codec. Headphones are almost as much as the phone. So...really? Just a bad look.

      I think they're both good in their own ways. The V2 is an amazing hardware and production feat, but based on what I've seen, I think the fold 5's software is still better. The mate x5 is super premium but really expensive and is harder to get than the rest, plus it lacks all the Google stuff. It comes down to what compromises you're willing to accept.

    • @edwinramos4910
      @edwinramos4910 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Objectively, the only thing you're right about is the better battery life. The wider outer display is nice, but it comes at a huge cost that most fail to acknowledge. As a direct result of that wider outer display, the aspect ratio of the inner display is 1.08:1...which is basically a square. A square is not an ideal display shape for any type of use.
      Folding phones cost $500 USD more than candy bar shaped flagship phones. I would think that people who are willing to spend that much more money for a smartphone would be very interested in having an inner display that optimizes the user experience...especially in regards to media consumption. But, a square aspect ratio isn't optimazed for anything.

      That's BS. Name one thing that he said that wasn't true.....and keep your opinions to yourself..I'm only interested in objective facts. The truth is that there are very few things that the Open does "better" than the Fold 5, and out of those, only one matters to most people...the width of the outer display.
      But, there's a cost to that wider outer display...which the so called "Samsung Fanboy" didn't bother to mention. As a direct result of having that wider outer display, the Open has an inner display aspect ratio of 1.08:1. It's basically a square....which is the absolute worse shape that a display can have.
      Objectively (and it's probably also safe to say subjectively for most), a square screen isn't ideal for any type of content. One of the intended benefits of having a folding phone with a larger inner display is the more immersive video watching experience, but a square shaped screen almost completely eliminates that benefit. if there are people that care so much more about the folded outer screen experience that they're ok with compromising the unfolded inner screen experience, then I would suggest that they save their money and buy one of the excellent non folding flagship phone's currently on the market.
