The insane price of OP open was the main reason for me to not even consider buying it. If it were around $1200, I'd give it a shot, but $1700?! No way josé
@troydyall6624 people can buy $2000 samsung fold with crappy hardware every year but cant buy oneplus fold with great hardware & software for only $1700 🤨 i swear people nowadays are silly 🤦♂️
One of my regrets of buying the Fold 5 2 years ago is not waiting for the Open and getting it instead. Looking at the specs so far, I'll upgrade to the Open 2 when it comes out.
My only problem with fold 5 is its camera. But i dont use fold for my camera,as for other stuff its more than capable to do anything. Specs are so overrated for phones atm. Unless the phone is truly masterpiece that is best at everything i wouldnt upgrade my phone when its slightly worse.
@@JaredClarkBoaz you are watching a OnePlus open video not a z fold or pixel 9 pro fold video so what you just said doesn't make sense the OnePlus open 2 will be much thinner but will also have the biggest battery of any phone with 80 watt wire and 50 watt wireless charging and great cameras to go with it OnePlus is not leaving anything out
LG made a lot of innovative designs that, unfortunately few people bought, which is why they left the market behind. Turns out, people didn't want innovation, they just wanted increasing boring look-alike phones that all copy each other's designs.
Oppo is not a China only brand, so it's not quite accurate to frame OnePlus as the global version of it. I got the Find N3 here in Australia where OnePlus doesnt sell at all.
@@COPDME yes, global version sold in local big box stores like JB hifi (like Best Buy in the US ) as Australian stock. Typing this on an Australian Oppo Find X8 Pro.
Yeah we are the same here in NZ, oppo and Huawei are big here, but I never seen a Oneplus before. That's not to say they aren't sold here, I just haven't seen one. But oppo are pretty popular, especially the cheap-mid priced ones.
Well there long time viewer but first time commenting. Where do you get your phone background from when reviewing the phones? Don't ever remember it being mentioned. Thanks lad.
A shout out to you Mr Spurt all the way from the sunny south coast of NSW Australia👍 I love watching your videos and have bought a couple of phones because of your dubious reviews🤔😆 Seriously, I really do enjoy them. Also, I've noticed you have a bit of a watch collection going on, maybe you could share it one day.. Cheers!
Hi Chris, not phone related as you requested. I did notice your comment "next week I will mostly be..." Great fast show reference and the answer is sniffing glue. Maybe next week you could bring some bostic along and show us how it's done. As always you have brought a smile to my face for the weekend. Long long and prosper, to Mr wanksock too 😂🤯
I don't know if we should even expect a Zenfone, God let's hope something good comes no more disappointments or else I will blame it on you uncle spurt
I got the Honor Magic V3 for 1200-ish USD at a Black Friday sale in Mexico. Best phone I've ever had, period. If the OnePlus is anything near as slim, it'll be a banger.
The Barcodes? 😂 Nah it could be more Play Off misery for Sunderland Chris. 🤞🏻 can’t wait for your review of the Iphome SE 4 by the way. All the best from your nearly favourite Mag. 😂
I’m getting the feeling that the Open 1st gen is going to be better than 2nd Gen, purely because they put everything into there entry into the foldable market and may get a bit complacent with their next gen. Just saying. Great video as always and very entertaining.
I like the concept of a foldable - having a tablet on tap for media, but would question the longevity of a folding screen. I don't think I can justify spending £1,000+ on any 'blower' when there are plenty of more than capable mid-rangers available (as demonstrated by Chris each year).
I'm really hoping that the Find X8 Ultra comes to the global market, otherwise the Xiaomi 15 Ultra will be the only global release with the LYT-900 and HyperOS 2 does not excite me in the slightest.
The OnePlus Open is my favorite phone. But I honestly don't use it that often because I didn't get a warranty on it. So it's really been relegated to a travel phablet so I can carry less devices, while I daily an iPhone or Pixel. It has the best hinge of any folding/flipping phone I've used. So here's hoping it continues to get even better.
@bloodhoug82 just really good at getting those pre-order trade-in deals. My iPhone and Pixel together cost maybe $15 a month on my phone bill. My S25 Ultra I just ordered was $550 with a trade in of a Z Flip and came with the Buds Pro 3 free as well. My OnePlus Open was definitely the most expensive, though it was $200 off and another $200 for trading in a literal old Nokia.
@@bloodhoug82 oh do you mean like down payments? Literally never made a down payment on a phone. Just traded in phones when they offer stuff like trade in this and get a free that. Like I saved $1200 on the ultra and headphones by trading in and preordering it. And I only paid $300 total for the phone I traded in.
I don't know, I think I'd rather have a bigger camera bump if it means having the biggest sensor possible or better optics. At the end of the day it's physics and I'd rather have the most amount of information available on the sensor for all those AI/algorithms to do their work later on. I'm not saying to make it bigger like a lense, but not reduce it in size from last years model. Instead make better use of the same space.
Those Samsung s25 phones must have been as fun as pulling teeth out of your skull with a pair of pliers without the anaesthesia of a whisky kind huh Uncle Spurt?
The 7 core version is most likely for heat management. The 8 elite is a 3nm chip and cramming that much is indeed very hard to cool, and you've seen other Chinese foldables having extremely reduced performance from gaming overtime due to lacking cooling, so this is a good thing.
I just recently ditched my galaxy fold 6 for a OnePlus open. It's taking some getting use to but I do really like it minus only being able to get the 512 gb version. I am looking forward to the next rendition!
It's a pet peeve of mine, but I prefer the more boxy design of the Z Fold 6 in comparison to the Open (and eventually the Open 2). I don't like how when it's folded it's curved on one edge but not on the other! I'd rather they made the design less curved and more boxy like the Z Fold 6. How was the battery life of the Fold? Was that one of the reasons you switched to the Open? I was a OnePlus user for many years (2, 5T & 7) but then switched to Samsung (Note 10+) and finally Apple in 2020 (12, 13PM, 14PM, 15PM), but thinking of making the jump back, certainly to the Android world at least.
Think its a bit lame also. One thing that kept me from getting the pixel pro fold was its processor, wondered about waiting for oneplus o 2 but seems a bit of a compromise there too. Will have to see how different the benchmarks are
Foldy phones would play havoc with my paranoia. So expensive and so very breakable. They'd never survive Etienne's patented 'shoved-off a-table in the pub by a pint glass' test.
They would survive but you wouldn't want to test it. Although one plus open screens don't have the best reputation for a foldable but lots of them are pretty well regarded in terms of durability
So I'm excited but I'll be a little upset if they pull pen support after I finally pulled the trigger finding an Oppo pen on eBay for $103. I do like using it on the OPO and I also like that unlike Samsung, it keeps the Bluetooth photo shutter function. The recent software updates make me happy happy... But I really think the OPO2 will be just complete perfection.
Hmm, complaining about the Galaxies, you forget that there is a Freddie Cruger Iphone thingy on the way but that foldable no I am not planning on owning one but those specs are tagging on my curiosity.
I fell in love with the Honor Magic v3 when I got to fondle it during IFA '24 - would really really really really really really really really really love one, but the price is holding me back.
You convinced me right on time with my 1+ 13. Would I have otherwise paid 250$ for a pair of unrepairable Bluetooth earphones? I'd rather be paying for an*l bleaching than that.
I am not saying they are worthless pieces of plastics. They may sound good, but in two-three years when their dinky battery unavoidably depletes, they will be.
i like how you have this persona that is always on the verge of a mental breakdown but never quite there.

Oneplus and Oppo are killing it this year. ❤
I'd rather have a foldable with a decent battery, but go on guys, keep making them thinner and thinner 😔
Nobody wants to carry a literal brick when the phone is closed though! (Looking at you, Samsung)
It will have at least a 5600 mAh battery
Foldables need to be thin though. And battery tech improved this year. I'm positive it will for the foldables too.
New Snapdragon is 15/20% more efficient so dont bother to much about the battery.
