Hi @scaryifliteral,
Encountered a problem with my OnePlus Open display.
Will you be willing to do a video about it?
Awaiting your response.
Thank you.
I switched from an iPhone to the One Plus Open and is by far the best phone I ever had, because I use it mostly for work and productivity is far better than an iPhone, day to day speed, web browsing speed, typing, reading, editing and multitasking is insane!
Same here! Switched from the iphone 14 pro max.
Since u came from an iPhone that ain't saying much
Same here
Yeah I switched from fold 4 and I am definitely glad I made the move
It will take Apple quite some time, at least 7 years before they make any flipping/folding phone. Not that they can't make one but more about how can they make a folding phone without taking away from the iPad profits
I have it. Amazing phone, the ir blaster is very useful for me as i have multiple air conditioners. When folded it borders on becoming thick but i am glad that it is not any thinner because if it was, then holding it unfolded would be a problem.
The bad: The stock clock and weather widgets suck hard, have scaling problems and doesn't show the time of my next alarm. Ne setting to let the alarm ring forever in the stock app.
The stock launcher has no grid options, big screen with few apps and widgets.
I wish that the task bar worked in nova launcher.
The pen. I want it.
I love the aspect ratio of the open as well as the hardware. I miss the software of Samsung, but the z fold 5 was to narrow to use the outer screen so I traded in the z fold 5 for the open and I have been happy with this phone since day one. The only thing OPPO did wrong was not to offer a stylus pen with the phone or on their website.
Agreed, also it's currently sold out.
I've been fortunate enough to have the galaxy fold 3 and 4, and the pixel fold. I now have the OnePlus Open. In my case this phone ticks all the boxes for me. Best aspect ratio as far as screen size inside and out. The apps just work, i.e. when rotating or resizing, which is something I couldn't say for the pixel. The screen brightness is great, not as bright as OnePlus promoted but still great. I really wanted to love the pixel fold, because I love the software, but I think it's way more glitchy as far as apps resizing during rotation or in landscape mode. The screen wasn't as bright as I would've liked on the pixel also. And don't get me started on software updates. They took forever! The OnePlus open is cheaper, with top tier specs, less issues, (I had the email issue, but did everything you did in your video and it's now working so thank you) lighter, better camera, (IMO) and I just love it. I won't be able to get a new phone for awhile so I'm extremely happy I got the OnePlus when I did. 😊
I love my OnePlus Open, best folding phone I've ever owned!! I work in tech and have access to and used all the foldables since the Fold 2. I now carry the Open as my primary device.
100th like and probably it will go to a 1k go work mate keep it up dedicated and punctual and concise..just what i need.
I traded in my Z Fold 4 for the OnePlus Open, which I was eagerly waiting for, after previously upgrading from the ZF3-ZF4.
Where Samsung's changes from the Z Fold 4 to the Z Fold 5 were minimal, to the point that I'd be hard pressed to even name two or three upgrades, OnePlus threw in the kitchen sink into this device!
16GB ram
512 GB storage
67w charging speed (it really always blows me away how fast this thing charges)
20:9 aspect ratio on cover screen Wide
Excellent cameras
The difference between Samsungs approach and OP was night and day!
Samsung, it felt to me, was resting on their laurels and figured they were pretty much the only game in town.
I genuinely couldn't agree with you more. I also switched from fold 4 and I'm equally impressed with how they went about this device blowing fold 4 and 5 clean out the water. Your absolutely right the charging is unreal on this beast
I owned the OnePlus open but I returned it because I'm still paying on the Pixel fold and I just could not reconcile paying for another foldable. With that being said, if it was my first foldable experience I probably would have kept it. There is so much that I did like about it. The thing that I liked the most was the non-glare display. I used my foldable in the car a lot and that display was clutch! Google needs to learn something from the OnePlus as it relates to display.
I am definitely a 5. I LOVE this device! Every time I pick it up, I am impressed all over again.
I just wish OnePlus would Market it more and entice popular case manufacturers to make accessories for it. Just because it comes with a case doesn't mean I don't want a variety.
I really love it. It's my first foldable and it's been awesome, but I'm getting ready to sell it. I think I am just not taking full advantage of the foldable features and I work in construction and ride an adventure motorcycle so I'm really paranoid about breaking it. The IR blaster is my favorite feature and use it all the time so I think I am going to sell it and get the OnePlus 12 this month since it will be a better fit for my use case.
How much are you going to sell your open for?
Hi @scaryifliteral,
Encountered a problem with my OnePlus Open display.
Will you be willing to do a video about it?
Awaiting your response.
Thank you.
Also another point people who own a device will always lean positive because in their mind people always want to justify their expensive purchase no matter if it's really that good or not.
Some people are capable of being objective
I want the dimensions(size/aspect ratio/weight) of the OnePlus Open, the camera of the Google Pixel Fold, and the Software of the Samsung Fold.
Has anyone made a video about or included using screen recording with the OnePlus Open?? I'm really curious about how that works folded vs unfolded
Still loving my fold 4.. try out, my friend oppo find n3 fold for 3 days... still miss my samsung Dex and Spen ❤
I have owned and used as my daily driver All Samsung Z Fold ( Except 5 ) Xiaomi Fold 2 and Honor Magic V2. Oneplus Open is BY FAR DE BEST ONE OF THEM ALL and Im happy it came out being a much more complete and balanced device. It’s no surprise why OnePlus Open is gettting so much attention.
I have a question that doesn't pertain to this. But I can't figure it out. I am using a HDMI cable from the OnePlus Open to my TV. Is there any way of getting a full screen on the TV. Thanks
I love my OnePlus Open. I won't trade it for anything other than the OnePlus open 2 if there's a moderate improvement. I've had mine for nearly 3 months and have had no issues.
I have the OnePlus open since it's release, I absolutely love this phone. Even just the main screen in the folded position is amazing. And when you open it you can't see the crease at all, and the multitasking is unmatched from any phone I've ever had. The speed is fantastic, the storage is amazing, the responsiveness is on point. The camera is great. My only gripe is that it doesn't open completely flat instantly anymore, I have to give it a little nudge, but other than that it's fantastic
I love my OnePlus Open best foldable phone so far... My only complaint is why top brand phones case don't have any but any case for this phone ? The OEM case work perfect but IDK I'm still waiting for Spigen...
I don't have the one plus. I have the pfold. I wish the pixel had a few of the features the one plus does. But I'm still taken by the taller and narrow concept. That makes the pfold the one for me
I absolutely love my pixel fold. So far it's been amazing. Only a few things I would hope would be changed on the second generation. By the way Shane, do you have any new information about a possible second generation and what changes they'll be making?
Minenjust came in yesterday. Its better than samsungs. I owned 4 different samsung folds. And this oneplus open is such a better phone. So glad i made the switch.
Anyone having issues with the folding screen? That's my biggest worry. Used to have the LG G Flex and image the screen being close to that softness
Do I wish I could have bought a Pixel Fold instead? Sometimes, but I didn't have that option in Sweden, that's on Google, I had to choose between Samsung or Oneplus, so I picked Oneplus and I'm very happy with it, besides a few bugs that you've talked about (lack of notification and wifi stops working, so I have to go to mobile).
I'm pleased to say mine has less scratches than your device, which makes me very happy since I'm a very clumsy person and it has been dropped a few times, but I use a case that covers the outside screen too, even if I had to glue a small magnet on it to make it work properly.
I didn't vote, but it's a 4+ for me atm. I love being able to open it up when sitting down and just closing it when I'm getting up, so satisfying. And the battery, I mean I went from my old phone where I had it fully charged, went on a 2 hour walk running pikmin bloom and listening to music and it was at 14%! Now I can do the same at 40% and it'll still be over 20% when I get home!
It's so freeing!
Plus it's nice to play games on a bigger screen, even though it's mostly evermerge ;)
Im still worried about durability, taking it to the beach or to the forest... Dust/water resistance is important
If I had to have a fold device the only one I'd consider would be the OnePlus open. OnePlus might not be the top of the top on hardware. But their software beats Google at its own game. It's the only android device that is faster and smoother than iPhone. Pixel and Sammy are superb but they do have stuttering animations regularly. OnePlus doesn't. They let themselves down by slower software updates. But I'll take that
Is top of the top hardware. Is the best foldable and productivity phone in the market. I switched from an iPhone to the One Plus Open and is by far the best phone I ever had, because I use it mostly for work and productivity is far better than an iPhone, day to day speed, web browsing speed, typing, reading, editing and multitasking is insane!
@@carmcarm8230 it's not top of the hardware. The galaxy fold 5 is.
@@user-jb5fd3tm2tthe open has better screens and same internals as the galaxy fold. The Open has the best hardware of the 3 with the worst software (OneUI and PixelUI are both insanely good).
@@benfearn7961 I'm starting to move away from Samsung. Especially with their ridiculously thin outer screen
Shane, has anyone broached the discussion around camera bumps? I just got the red magic 9 pro. It has a flush back, I'm excited about the form factor, it's wobble free!
It's one of those places where you basically have to make a sacrifice somewhere. If you don't want to camera bump you're going to either need a thick phone or a small sensor or a combination of both.
I dare challenge our advanced technology. We landed on the moon man! 1mm of added thickness for a better battery and a flush back.....go! Now the perfect surface duo can be made, I miss it too...
I went back to the z fold 5 from one plus open. It is a decent phone but I had terrible reception, and a ton of glitches. I give it a 3 overall bc of things it does, but it was a bad phone when it came to making calls.
Unfortunately for these results the sample size is too small and too narrow. A lot of your followers are Surface Duo converts who have not experienced anything beyond a Duo or an Open. So you can see how easy it is to obtain skewed results. You should have a poll that is vetted with actual owners prior to voting as im sure over the past month that perspective has changed quite a bit given all the broken displays as of late.
I love my fold 5. Can't wait for the 6
The op open has totally blown me away and the competition out the water in the uk and western world. I was a Samsung fanboy for years but i started watching a channel called average dad who primarily reviews chinese devices and he pointed out that devices out of china and now one plus are far superior to what samsung has to offer foldable wise. One plus did an amazing job with this and im hoping they offer a trade in program in uk if the 2nd device can be an amazing upgrade 😃
I bought the phone I do not like oxygen OS software. I tried to call OnePlus to return the phone. It took them three months to send me a return authorization. Very bad customer service.
I have the Pixel Fold, the Z Fold 5 and the OnePlus 11. I prefer my Z Fold 5 and I bought the Oneplus! 11 to see if I would like oxygenos. I'll wait till the OnePlus Open II to launch to see if they incorporate wireless charging like they did for the OnePlus 12. I like the Pixel Fold but it's too expensive for it's first go around and specs. If the Pixel Fold II is not a better version, I'll get the Pixel 9 or 9 Pro. The Pixel software however is the best out of the three.
Best software , so much to do I love my one plus open 😁
I traded in my OP 11 for the OPO and lived it UNTIL a few weeks after getting it, I placed my OPO down on a counter, turned around and heard a thud. Turning back around, I see my baby on the marble floor. The right side of the inner display has a boo boo. It still worked but past of it was gone. Then a short time later, the whole side goes black and doesn't work.
OP wants over $500 to repair it.
I love my OnePlus open. Gave up my z fold 5 for it and totally glad I did !
I was tempted to get the pixel fold because I know Id enjoy the wider display on that and the design is very pretty but didn't because the OnePlus still has a very decent outer display and for $100.00 less you get double the storage and 50% more ram! Also it seems like OnePlus focused on taking advantage of the multitasking capabilities of their device compared to Google AKA open canvas.
I really enjoy Samsung's ecosystem and support. I have a Sammy service center near me at a mall which has a showroom of new products. It's hard to just jump ship to a new device that has a much more limited support system.
Absolutely love it
Definitely has some advantages and some drawbacks compared to the Fold 5...But in my region it was an easy choice, during a promo in December Samsung sold the 1TB Fold 5 for a mere 14 000 SEK, Whereas the base version of the OP Open would set me back 22 000 SEK.
I also really appricetate Samsungs commitment to long term updates, also there's no wireless charging on the Open...A deal breaker for me.
Gotta say I love my one plus open. I tend to use it more then my iPhone 15 pro max. I give the one plus open 5/5 I love it very much❤
I own it and it's amazing 👏 don't regret it at all, Had the zfold 5 and got rid of it just to buy the one plus open and couldn't be happier
I voted without leaving a comment! I voted 4 by the way. So I'm very happy with my OnePlus Open generally. But, and this might come as a surprise, Iprefer my Zfold 5. And it's not just the software, I legitimately find that I genuinely like the Zfold 5's narrow cover screen. For one thing it means that the inner display has a more rectangular aspect ratio which makes viewing content better. But also I find that narrow display let's me type way more easily with one hand which is nice. So overall as much as I like the OnePlus Open if I had to choose I would choose the Zfold, which isn't to say that the Open doesn't have any advantages, just that I prefer the form factor and the software of the Zfold.
I love my OnePlus Open, no issues and i can play my ps2 games, arcades and nes without any issues
I think the Oneplus open looks great and is probably a great phone, but I love my Pixel Folds size..
Just received it today, I have to return it. I'm getting phantom touches all over the place. It's so annoying when you scroll and instead it registers as a tap. Also when I open it there's a squeaky sound in the hinge it sounds like plastic sticking or something. I guess I'm just sticking with Samsung from now on..... Because my Google pixel 8 pro is hot garbage too.
As an OP Open owner, I gave it either a 4 or a 5. I suspect I gave it a 5 as objectivity it is the best phone I've owned. Coming from the Duo, the specs are just above and beyond. With regards to the camera, I have a iPhone 14 from work but I'd rank the Open above it, especially potrait mode. The Open also has fantastic speakers. It's an expensive phone but it really is one that comes with no compromises, unless you're a big fan of wireless charging of course. I have no issues with the software either. Maybe having owned a Duo has lowered my expectations of software 😅
Am I able to pick up WhatsApp phone calls on my OnePlus device using Bluetooth earbuds now?
Yes. I haven't had an issue with calls on Whatsapp
So which one do you use as your daily driver?
And bounce back and forth between the open and the pixel fold
I traded in my Fold 4 for the Open, I do not like Open at all. Software inconsistencies are many and make the experience suffer. Dealing with customer service at OnePlus was a nightmare…now I’m stuck with this device for at least the next year. I wish I wouldn’t have purchased this device and will never buy another OnePlus.
Which one do you prefer for daily use since you have both? P Fold or 1+ Open?
I go back and forth between them
@@scaryifliteral Cool. So no winner here.
My Open is a bit buggy and feel like my Fold 5 is a more polished experience.
The battery and charging speed on the pixel fold are awful. I have both the Pixel Fold and the OnePlus Open and I use the Open as my every day phone cause the battery will last 2 days and if I need to charge it, it fills in no time. The Pixel Fold doesn't last a day and charges sooooo sloooooow...... Thought I would hate the fact that OnePlus Open doesn't have wireless charging but with the battery life and the charging speed, I don't even miss it.
Around mid December I was trying to decide which to go with between the OP Open or the Pixel Fold, and I found myself watching battery life tests after people had been using both for awhile and it seemed like the Open had the advantage, as well as better customization, and the better aesthetic for the internal screen. Loving the OP Open, would have given it a 4.5, only for the few software bugs.
I want this phone so bad but from what i hear about the durability and the customer service is keeping me from getting it, for now
No issues with durability and I haven't needed to engage with customer service.
@@scubasteve1555 i have been seeing horror stories when you need too
Do you ever notice lag when typing on the edges of the outer display ?
Compared to other phones and foldables, this phone is probably the worst.
I feel like I'm typing on a blackberry torch 😂
the oneplus open is the best foldable till the next oneplus open comes out lmao
Why r we still discussing this? There is absolutely no comparison starting with the form factor, to speakers, to weight, to charging speed to battery to display!
This may come as a great shock to you, but some people enjoy discussing tech and watching content in that genre.
@@scaryifliteral I agree. It was more of a rhetoric:)
I am amazed by this phone. Have been using it for over a month now. It amazes me every day. Even the interface is better samsung. I had used 3 Samsung phones back to back.
Only issue is can't find good covers besides Chinese ones and secondly the camera is unstable in low light.
It is a brilliant phone and can keep upgrading the same model if this stays the way it is for the next 1 year.
Love the phone, but the amount of software issues and inconsistencies prevent me from staying on a OnePlus device for too long
What issues are you having because I don't have any
@@NipseyEternal99 Issues may not have been the right word - bugs would be more accurate as they are small issues.
An example:
1. When you double-press the power button to access the camera, the phone locks before going to the camera app. So if you want to open another app to edit the photo, etc. you need to unlock the phone again. While not a dealbreaker on its own, no other phone manufacturer has this issue, and other small things like this are riddled in OnePlus phones.
Yeah but those bugs are currently being fixed. An update or two. It'll all be good. I updated as soon as I opened mine yesterday. And all is fine
@@alexmotts I've had those same bugs on my OnePlus 11 since it released. I'm not confident in OnePlus's update policy and bug fixing enough to stay on a OnePlus. Again, ymmv, and there are personal preferences for each person.
I like my open
Fold owner,Put the z-fold 5 software into the open and you got yourself a dominant fold or slap phone. Please Samsung just copy the OnePlus open hardware and you'll dominate.
Phone is nice but not opening flat is unacceptable. I sold it becouse it was irritating. Fold 5 opening totally flat, oneplus you must push it to open full flat.
No foldable I've ever owned has went to fully flat without a little bit of pressure, even the Z Folds get there in short time.
@@scaryifliteral its immature technology then.
Absolutely love this phone. I have my nitpicks when apps start behaving weird when the phone is open but other than that I don't see myself going back to an iPhone.
Phone looks good but it’s also really expensive.
If you got a quality device that you can trade in you can drop the price drastically. I got $680 off my Open.
No it is not, I got mine for $1135 a lot cheaper than iPhone and Samsung
what iPhone is a lot more than $1,100??@@NipseyEternal99
@@GC3-22 What ? On their site. I got a iPhone 12 Pro. I suppose I should be able to sell it for 500 euros easy.
