I loved the unexpected "You godd*mn right I am" from Andrew 🤣
That was my favorite 😂😂😂
Between this, the studio video and the main waveform content, I'm loving all of this David content!
I was a salesman at a Verizon store for about 5 years and in my experience the ZFolds were almost exclusively used by people who ran multiple small businesses and realtors. I was in a relatively small town, but we sold maybe 25 between the Fold and the Fold4
Pretty much every TH-camr that mocked the black Oneplus Open missed the point. That fake leather is emulating the look of old analog cameras.
With that being said, the phone actually looks very cool.
Reduce weight was main reason
This is a very nice looking folding phone, like Marques said you can tell OPPO's design language is all over this, even down to the Hasselblad lens
I love your self-control. Any other channel would have made an entire video about those dead pixels and blew it up way more than necessary.
When I first saw this Phone I instantly bought it. I am a Fold 2 Fold 3 Fold 4 and Fold 5 User and in Love with this OnePlus Open. The Price is fair with those preorder Deals. Time will show the durability but OnePlus will definitly take care of the consumers. Big Respect to OPPO/OnePlus. Thanks for the Video.
OnePlus Open > Fold 5 > Pixel Fold
Same. Fold 2, 3 and 4 user. Immediately purchased. Early bird offer with £250 off. The front screen alone makes it better than Samsung's, wireless charging or not.
@@adskee69 yes, and there is a confirmed stylus support with the oppo pen and videoout support through USBC after update
Is that right? Hadn't heard that. Will go look it up. Video out? Not like Dex though right. That's a bit of a gamechanger. I mean not for me, I don't want to carry a pen around, but I heard lots of people saying the Fold is better because Spen, Dex and Wireless Charging.
"However, the company chose to omit mentions of it for its launch event, citing on-stage time constraints." Imagine having a phone so good that you literally don't have time to talk about pen support 😀

My biggest concern with all the foldables is durability which samsung has dialed down. I'll wait and see how good the others are before purchasing it. No point liking a phone that's going to boink out after a few months.
@@riverjustice I agree. But since my Fold 2, 3 and 4 broke in the middle of the inner screen, and my wife's Fold 3 - can't get much worse. Might as well give it a go.
A foldable will never be the same price as the regular flagship cause it has more parts. If you have the same processor and camera and whatever on both phones, you have to pay for an additional screen, an addition internal camera, and the whole hinge assembly that you don’t have to pay for on the flagship.
Exactly. This should be accepted by now.
I think it's less that a foldable will cost exactly the same as a same generation candy bar flagship and more hoping that the price in the future approaches an equivalent level to current flagships
200$ credit for any trade in phone is a masterstroke from OnePlus! Someone with an old phone would be inclined to think of trading in a very basic phone (for 200$) and getting a modern phone for 1500$! No one else would give them 200$ for their old phone!!
Oppo does have a device recycling program, so it's possible OnePlus gets some sort of deal on production if they recycle as many devices as they create??
Well, here in EU the Iphone 15 Pro 512GB is almost 1600. Oneplus open is 1900 with 250e off coupon + free wireless headphones. So basically 1650. One way to look at it. Of course you can now get a z fold 5 for like 1200?
The problem is that you can get your Apple or Samsung fixed in no time. And that's even more important with a folding phone. A friend had z flip 4 with a peeling screen protector. It was fixed quickly at the Samsung store while going for a coffee...
This is not the thinnest foldable out there but something about it being lightweight, oneplus, oxygenos, the slick looking design and the way they implemented multitasking with open canvas makes me want to buy it.
My last oneplus was the 7pro and i enjoyed it and oxygen os
I preordered mine and I'll be getting it at the end of November, still using my 7pro until then, same as you :)
As one of those people... If I paid 1500 I would pay 1700... For me that price range I am already committed to a premium price point.... Now I will say the 200 off and the free pro earbuds do give me the talking point of impression of "value".
Love your video! The unbias analysis made me a fan! What urks my soul about some bloggers and media about this phone compared to the oneplus open...umm...WE DO REMEMBER THAT THE PURPOSE OF THE OUTSIDE SCREEN ISN'T TO GIVE YOU A BIG SCREEN. IT DOES WHAT IT'S SUPPOSE TO AND WHEN YOU REALLY NEED TO MULTI-TASK AND ALL THAT JAZZ, YOU OPEN TO THE BIGGER SCREEN 🤦🤦♀️Who will buy a folding phone that they don't need to open? 🤔🤔🤔
I loved the design and the size of this phone but I hope the dead pixels problem not be in all units
All good but there is too much chat around the dead pixels. Would have loved to hear more on the cameras more.....
Anyone know if the oneplus open works w google pay?
I think they've forgotten that the phone also has costs like marketing and distribution. Then there's the fact that One+ included a fast charger, cable, and other bits and pieces. Lastly, there's the packaging.
Suffice to say, there are additional costs beyond just hardware and research.
Oh, and they DO need to make a profit, me thinks. :D
The fact that Samsung already have 5 versions of this foldable and looks outdated compared to OnePlus' First foldable makes it awesome on the first try. I don't care if it's Oppo and "debatable first". These guys are just nit-picking on that "dead pixel" they mentioned. Well, OnePlus have the Care program just like Apple. OnePlus also has instant replacement service. You can definitely tell bias when you see one. (Face-palm) i hope it's "respectful enough".
It's a literal bait and switch job. The Oppo Find N3 (4th foldable from Oppo) is literally what this phone is. They literally just replaced Oppo's name on the phone with 1Plus and placed Hasselblad on the camera. The specs and everything is literally the same from the hardware side and almost all of the software. It's not even debatable, it's a fact. Also having a dead pixel within 1 week isn't nitpicking. They do the same for every phone, when the 1st gen Fold had a dead pixel in the first week, people "nit-picked" it too. 1Plus doesn't have the same care as Apple. Have you seen all the problems their care has? They literally have been denying warranty claims (Google it and you'll see thousands of complaints) due to shipping damage even when people who sent it had pictures before sending them out. The only thing 1Plus has been good is their cheap repair program for their low and mid-end phones, warranty is laughable. It's not bias, it's fact. Also when the 1Plus comes out it will only be sold by Best Buy and another store. They have no physical stores in the US and have no parts warehouse as well. How will they replace the 1Plus Open instantly when they don't have the infrastructure to support it?
@@pkpnyt4711 my point is, this is a good foldable to date. I have an iPhone 12 and was planning to upgrade to a 15 this year but i held off because i didn't feel the need coz there's nothing revolutionary on iPhones right now. IL keep my 12 coz im wearing an AW ultra. There are other foldables out there but with Chinese rom, Honor Magic V2 comes to mind and also the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3. If im going to make a jump to foldables this OnePlus' Open/Oppo with global ROM is my best bet with google services working out of the box. It's really a gamble with technology and they become obsolete real fast. Another point is, more choices foldable or not is supposed to be good to the consumer. Im not a fanboy of any brand like Samsung or Apple but im pretty sure it's good to have choices and whatever i "like" doesn't mean anybody should like too. Speaking of hardware and battery capacity, soon it will be the snapdragon gen 3 and people will say that the gen 2 is and older hardware while still capable. Batteries will be bigger too prolly 5K mah standard or more. It's just technology.
So basically since OnePlus didn't rebrand and release the previous Oppo Find N series phones, they don't count as previous foldables all of the sudden? That's an extremely stupid take. It's literally the same phone as the Find N3. Oppo/OnePlus are a part of the same company. Still even so, it took them less generations than Samsung regardless so idk why you are making a fuss over it not being labeled as 1st gen. By that logic, if Samsung Electronics makes a sub brand next year and that sub brand rebrands the Fold 6, then it becomes a 1st gen device in your eyes 😂
Maybe midrange foldables could become a thing and therefore compete with flagship "normal" phones. This is the when people have to decide between specs and form factor. The really interesting question is: what do people want from their phone? Camera? Screen real estate? Battery life? Good value?
Maybe the dead pixels are just bad luck in this case. No TH-camr that I know had sth comparable. In recent years I had as well many flagships that had some problems, for example Huawei mate 20 pro dead pixels.
Well i have 3 Samsung folds with dead inner screens and a Google Pixel fold with a dead inner screen no drops or damage I am willing to try a 1+ open though
Same. Fold 2, 3 and 4 with cracked and damaged internal screens. Also a Flip 3. Have purchased the One Plus Open so we'll see. Won't need to open it as much because it has an actual usable front screen, which is the main thing.
Happy Bday Mr Brownlee SR
How do I avoid dead pixels?
Why the pixel fold over OnePlus open
What I’d like to see is just a regular size phone that folds in half hot dog style.
Happy Birthday Marquez's dad!!!!!!
i cant believe mkbhd has seen single digit number of folds, cuz i have seen almost 50 folds upto now and i live in india.
Fold 5 to One plus open---Is it good move or be silent...
There is now a comprehensive update released for the Open. Please revisit the Open in a month or two and please, please consider not "reviewing" new devices at launch given most people who buy them will likely have a different experience as a result of post-launch updates.
Is it that significant of an update?
@@gokuafrica looks pretty comprehensive at 6.5GB
@@nickthaskater any notable changes mentioned in the changelog?
@@gokuafricayes. Pre release software is a big difference.
@@BrianGlazeIf they're releasing a phone without it running release grade software that deserves to be called out in a launch review. Even if they fix it later, you can readdress that when they fix it, but any given phone may or may not receive those post launch fixes and it's only fair to people buying at launch to warn them what they can expect if no fixes come.
Your are about to succeed in this career 😊
Samsung and oneplus need to join forces and make a foldable and Google need to do the software.
i'd want it but not at that price yet
Should of called it the One Plus One😂
No i cant see non a thing, now that you mentioned!!! but any way you got my like !!!
I feel like more than the price , it's because foldables feel like more of a "cool to have " things rather than " this is a very good phone". A decently large proportion of people in India buy iPhone pro models at 1700 USD . If these foldables had better software & were less prone to become faulty so easily with their fragile plastic screen and hinge issues, more people would consider it imo.
Also except these Chinese foldables with limited availability , none of the more mainstream companies like Samsung seem to have gotten their design to be more user friendly. They have weird aspects ratios that are too tall or too thin and uncomfortable to use.
If Samsung does not do anything to improve the fold next year I'm definitely getting this phone
Watching this on a one plus open 👀👀
I like the form factor of the Open (and most people do). But overall, I still prefer my Fold 5. Experience-wise, OneUI, Dex, pen support, etc. overall I still think it's a better device. I've grown to like the smaller outer screen form factor and the fact that when it's open it's not as square as Open is. With all that said, I really hope Samsung makes the 6 wider. I'm not holding my breath, but would be nice.
I was actually very surprised how much I missed OneUI when I switched back to Pixel. Google's done some good things but software stability still leaves something to be desired and the launcher is *way* less capable and, ironically, less customisable.
Material costs are a small part of the cost of these devices. Its mostly development, R&D, and manufacturing efficiency. If the demand for folding phones stays solid (good luck) its feasible that the cost to produce between folding and non-folding phones would be minimal (~$100-$200)
Hahaha 200 dollars of material costs, what are you smoking
Do a barrel roll
$700 is my max for a phone. The 10T and 11 are excellent for the price. The pixel 7 was great at $600. The 8 is okay at $700, but that's all the phone I'll ever want or need. The bells and whistles for $800+ phones arent worth IMO. The bas S series phones are tiny and expensive because telephoto? Silly.
"Can't wait for Pixel Fold 5" 😂
I love that folding tech is catching on, but I still don't see myself buying one as long as my fingernail can damage the interior screen.
So far I've been pleasantly surprised by the durability of my Pixel Fold's internal screen - obviously haven't had it long enough for a long term test but gentle contact with fingernails including flicking dirt off the screen hasn't caused any issues, and the texture is surprisingly glassy for effectively a plastic screen. I think the finger nail warning is more for people who are jamming their fingertips at the screen with longish nails
Someone please tell One plus to fix their software issue.
The name "open" might be because they are trying to counter Samsung "fold". Just like other old names OnePlus used to give, which were 1+ to Samsung's acronyms.
After having used the Z Fold5, I actually like the narrow outer screen on Samsung Folds - it's a way to reduce/be conscious of phone usage like you can with a flip phone. The outer screen does take some getting used to, but you literally always have the option of opening the phone when you want more screen real estate.
I don't mind the outer screen on samsung. What I hate is the ugly crease on the glossy inner screen. That's why I never bought it. Even with TH-cam running, I could always see the crease when using the phone in samsung stores. They have these bright lights that make the crease so goddamn obvious and thus the experience of the inner display is not seamless.
I usually think that the only reason the outer is narrower is because Samsung wants you to subconsciously or consciously use the inner more. Though I think it's admirable, it's not really the best mentality for that considering the inner flaws.
I thought OnePlus would give you way more credit towards the Open if you trade-in a more valuable phone? I swear I saw their website giving 1000$ credit for trading in an iPhone 14 Pro Max
"any phone, any condition" ***
**USA only.
Go Devils!!! 😈
Can you all define a “power user” for me
OnePlus Open is a great name
The simple logic behind the name is: Rival's mobile is Fold. Its opposite, Unfold. Its synonym, Open !!!! Just to go against samsung.
But the guy in the video said it was terrible! Lol
I got to give it to him, he just succeeded in being a dik without even trying.
"Open" makes a lot of sense.
You want to open it, not fold it
Why are you guys even talking about this phone? It's not an apple or Google device. I'm so confused!
Irritating how oneplus India will only accept phones with zero display issues for exchange. My 9Pro with lines doesn't qualify apparently
How is the name terrible? It's pretty good to me.
Yeah. Name is fine.
Well, they're TH-camrs. You can sense someone is trying to just complain about something without explaining why it was terrible. The guy with cap doesn't even get it that it might be a "dig" to Samsung Fold so OnePlus' just state the opposite which is open. And i get it. I will not even go towards saying Samsung's name with the fold and flip. The Samsung Fold, folds in landscape while the Samsung Flip, folds in portrait mode so why call it a Flip when it's not the same as a coin flip where it's head or tail. Which is terrible now! Lol
Name a better folding phone name, I'll wait... 🤷🏻♂️😁
Honor V2 has better hardware (but much worse software). Fold 5 has better software (but slightly worse hardware). Pixel fold has better software (but much worse hardware thanks to Tensor). Mix Fold 3 is very similar to OnePlus fold, but radio bands are limited outside china. OnePlus open is best mix of hardware and software for now!
in India its cheaper than iphone 15 pro 128 gb
A phone should cost 1,000$ and a foldable should cost $1200-1600$
Pixel fold over all the others. Take that Sammy and Huawei
Calling it open means they're thinkers...why call it after everyone else..🤷🏾♂️
Pre-ordered, then I saw this vid.... Cancelled the order right away.
I love OnePlus, my 10 pro is great but the screen gave me issues after 9 months. Thankfully I have insurance, now I will see what happens to my new screen next.
What about color os
Why no one is complaining about iphones price? They are also releasing almost the same phone for years 😂😂😂... are they not allowed to talk bad things about apple?
Who calls a tech company a fruit? If that is possible than OPEN definitely is
OnePlus Vers is a more accurate name
iPhone 15 pro is more expensive then one plus folding phone india
Nokia Has a Folding Phone too, I guess.
They do have lots of Flip phones
I don't want a Chinese company phone!
Racist anytime lately
Guys trust me i was a Oneplus User but Color OS made it unusable it doesn't stand with competition
:)
Second
Cheesy!

This video is hilarious.

Dumb... I thought this fad would die out lol
