Does the OnePlus Open change your perspective on Foldables in general? To see why I think the Google Pixel 8 / 8 Pro have problems: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/a4p1l6hooJmE0Gg.html To check out the Opera Browser: opr.as/Opera-browser-Arun_Maini

Trust me if this was Apple introducing such features, people would've gone crazy! OnePlus really got this one right!

This is the first foldable that has actually convinced me that there is a place for foldables beyond the brag factor and a few niche cases. Not sure it will ever be needed in my life, but if I was juggling a tablet and a phone, I’d definitely consider it.

This is it. THIS is a worthy successor to my Surface Duo 2. The multitasking aspect of running even more than two apps at the same time is so amazing! I need this!

that thud when opening and closing is immaculate and sends down chills to the spine for it will flood your brain with nostalgia from the flip phones back in the Nokia/Symbian days.

Wow the multitasking is brilliant. Should be the norm for bigger screens.

This is actually wild. Hopefully these kinds of features can go on more foldable phones, because these are brilliant features for this hardware

You and MKBHD are my icon, I love how you two break down all the things in Tech Review even a Child can understand how it works.

Thanks for your honest review. I was on the lookout to upgrade my galaxy fold 3, but it seems my current phone is doing remarkably well against even newer galaxy folds and any other foldables, although bit slow, but not worth spending that extra amt for that small improvement.

That whole virtual canvas multi tasking is unreal. I feel like more companies are gonna start stealing that one.

Really appreciate the changes which you made in editing. Less text, sound effects and now I can focus more on you and what you’re trying to make us understand about the product. Great job team!!! 🎉🎉

13:17 - Loving the fact you visited Hull Fair! :D

I LOVE this phone!!! I love the attention to detail, and attention to issues with foldable. My favorite part would have to be the lining or whatever it is, so when it's closed it doesn't get dirt and crumbs and whatnot on the inside screen. Pretty amazing

Wow! First time I'm actually impressed by the foldable, especially the multitasking stuff. The dock at the bottom is almost a carbon copy of what Samsung has with their tabs but they've done better with the "virtual screen" as Arun said. Samsung better take notes and I might just take the dive to the Fold 6

This the first non-samsung foldable to get my proper attention. And while I'm still far off from buying a foldable(like many other people), the fact that oneplus managed to cramp these specs into this phone and make it(albeit slightly) cheaper than the competition is a step in the right direction in making foldables more affordable for the average person. Also, I appreciate the new editing style. Probably one of the most pleasant reviews I've watched in a while☺️

Great video as usual, but I miss the small icons with timers for different topics/sections in the video. That gave an overview of where you are while talking and I was not lost if I got distracted for a second in the middle.

well done again after so many years, ive actually sat down and gone throught the entire vid and was not one second boring :D

Foldable phones are the phone which every body is excited for but rarely buys

The thing I like is that OnePlus has always been there company to follow on immediately to some revolutionary business idea. But they really took their sweet time on the folding phone business and when they did enter this market, they entered with a bang.

OnePlus sent us one to film a video for our instagram page but couldn’t talk about it publicly until the release due to our contract . I honestly must say this phone is VERY impressive. I was blown away at how beautiful and well made this phone is. The video and audio quality is out of this world and the Hasselblad cameras are everything I expect from their glass. Although they didn’t let me keep the phone I had to ship it back to them. However I would pay the money for this phone out of my own pocket because it’s that good!

I'm new with you. Your really good 👍 enjoyable but your lighting fast.... Omg information overload in a great way.

This is the first time I've seen a foldable and thought 'This is actually functionality to match its form!' Hopefully other brands will follow in that software style, it's a game changer!

I haven't owned a OnePlus since the 3, but the software/UI optimizations in this product make it a really compelling entry into the segment! Intriguing...

Really you are one of the most honest tech product reviewer but you intentionally keep the screen out of any glare and reflection to hide the hinge mark and I didn't expect that

I've noticed the style of your talking, and even the style of the music in the video is different. It's more calm. I like it

The split screen mode and the incredible cameras are so cool! These features make this foldable phone actually seem like it could be worth the extremely expensive price!

As a foldable phone, OMG! Out of all the ones I've seen from Mark, Unbox Therapy, and other UKpostsrs who have shown different phones, this one beats them all so far. It also helps that the OS is actually good when it comes to having more than one app active at a time when using other apps, and it just shortens a bit, but not to the point where you can't see. I love that you can have three apps open and switch between them like tiles

Excellent video production 👏 And the intro😍😍😍😍😍

What a fantastic detailed review, probably the best out there for the OnePlus Open. Great work, Boss!

The alert slider is basically for when you are at an office meeting or in crowds where you dont want to take out your phone but want to put it to silent, So technically it is the perfect position as you dont have to keep finding it deep in your pockets

I've seen a lot of reviews on this phone today and by far yours is the most in depth, informative, and has focused content for things users will actually leverage on a daily basis. Great job!

The intro sequence to this video was shot really well!

Hey man I’ve been sticking with you for a year now and I’m never gonna unsubscribe to you ever.

I’ve been an iPhone user since the iPhone 3. I’ve had all of them. I’m tempted to try this one out for a while. 😮. Awesome new editing style too, Arun!!

The editing and visual branding of this channel is truly remarkable

You are the best in you review videos and I just can't stop watch them, and thank you for that... I'm sure many agree on this... but..... Besides that big round camera piece sticking out the back.... what else is better/different/exciting than the ZF5? (Best Phone Ever... really?) :-P

bro made his intro a literal movie trailer, great going arun!

I've been waiting for a foldable where I don't have to compromise on the specs for about 6 years. I'm 100% buying this. And I hope onePlus is successful for this

Hey Arun, just wanted to say thanks for your insightful review of the OnePlus Open. Your points about the phone's design, performance, and camera were spot on, and I really appreciate the time you took to go in-depth on the phone's software features. I was never really into foldable phones but this one was definitely a mind changer! My favourite part of this phone was the hardware, specially the hinge development, not only for the sus reference but also cuz hinges are the biggest weakness of foldable phones.

Always been a Galaxy Note guy. Just love the big screens. When the fold came out, I knew I had to have it. I have the Fold 3 and the Fold 5. These folding tablet phones are definitely the hottest thing on the market. I like this one, but hate that pizza camera on it. Just looks like a dinner plate on a dining table.

Very enticing, couple years to go for me before replacing phones but am really excited to be able to go back to oneplus.

If there is one thing I learned from actually using a foldable as daily driver is that the phone case 100% NEEDS to have a built-in kickstand.

First foldable I've seen with an actualy aesthetically pleasing design. I really like it. Still, I'm most bothered by the plastic folding screens and I think they're just not for me until they're more durable.

It's so easy to watch through a 20 minute review ... damn your sense of humour blends so well with the whole thing (y) Never stop Arun!

Forget the review mate, I just love your voice. So crisp!!

Cool!! Excited to see them move into the flip space! This is the foldable i original wanted when they were first invented

1:52 Rare Aaron swearing footage

Arun, I am wondering if you could do a short/video about ranking phone companies! It would be cool to do one

Happy Birthday Mr whosetheboss Thanks for wonderful tech content

It would be cool if they came out with a smart watch that had a fold out screen. You get the additional screen real estate along your arm, or just fold away to the usual square screen. And if they could get it a bit thinner.

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 Z fold...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? 🤔🤔🤔

All of the multitasking and swiping up and the task bar seem very similar to a MacBook. It’s so cool that something like this exists

That multi-screen system is pretty nifty, definitely a step in the right direction. I wonder if they've been working on fleshing it out for Android 14? 14 is supposed to have better support for large screens, which bodes well for foldables in particular.

Let me write something here. This is the very best implementation of multitasking I've ever seen on any smartphone period. Great job to the software engineers!

I bought Open two months ago. I am getting more loved as I am more using. ❤❤❤. Never change back again.

The bit where you splash the water on the phone was so funny 😂 I also did that to my phone as soon as you did that and it worked

Been using Oneplus on a daily basis since the Oneplus 1. Never been more happy with a phone! Still rocking the 7 pro. Might buy the next model as this foldable is stupid expensive

I just bought a new phone this year, but I think my next phone might be a foldable, since I constantly need to translate between languages using Google Translate. It would be much easier to have both apps open at the same time than tabbing back and forth between them. By the looks of the Open, foldables are finally mature enough to be worthwhile. I will seriously consider getting one for my next phone.

The intro was epic❤😮

17:55 Alta, Norway???? That’s where I live!!!❤❤ Are you coming to visit? I’m such a big fan of yours

Being their gen 1 I'd expect it to be complete rubbish but it seems decent! I love seeing more competition enter the space. Edit: forgot they're owned by bbk and already made the oppo find n.

You haven't mentioned this, but the OnePlus Open has an anti-reflective coating on the inner display. Samsung doesn't have this on their foldables, so the screen is very reflective in my experience, just like the lower end iPads :P

Watching on Fold 4 I enjoy folding phones hope to play with more in the future 🎉 happy New Year 🎉

Hey Arun... You forgot to talk about the inbuilt selfie camera, even though you're going to take selfies on the back cameras on a foldable( 15:29 )

that polish animation at 10:46 was beautiful .

From 6 days of no uploads to 2 uploads in 2 days is the type of upload schedule I live for

My first iPhone was the 3GS, and then upgraded to the Droid DNA in 2012 (first 1080p phone in the US, 5 inch screen) , because I wanted a bigger screen and iPhones didn’t have that. The 6 plus came out in 2014 , and I then switched to that. Been on iPhones ever since, and now have a 13 pro max. This is the first Android since my Droid DNA that makes me want to switch over again.

Awesome video! Love the phone. Wish I could afford it lol What is the name of the coloring app he uses to change the color of the wallpaper?

I hope One Plus gets back to form. I cant explain how much i loved my 6t and 7 Pro. Literally the best 2 phones ever.

4:49 Bro did hesitate a lot to wobble it

I used to have an oppo find x5 pro and always used xpan. The pictures always looked amazing using that feature

The 20:9 ratio when opened up to 20:18 the almost perfect square is so soothing

This looks great. It's so weird that it's exactly the same phone as the Oppo Find N3 though, which was also launched today. I have a Find X5 Pro at the moment and love Oppo, but if they're not planning to release that in the UK (like they've done with the Find X6 Pro) then it looks like I'll have to get this instead if I want to upgrade to a foldable! I know they're sister companies, but the fact it's the exact same phone and software just with a different logo is still weird.

Love how more and more foldable/flippable products are being developed. Someday the prices will drop enough and quality, good enough for us plebians to afford it lol. Love your content and your commitment to produce such high quality vids at such high frequency, cheerio!

For dust gathering betwixt the screens use a Cooling Pouch as prevention

Great video Btw happy birthday 🎉

what an intro, the quality is insane. well done 👍

Terrific review. Not for me, especially at the cost, but a move in the right direction in terms of design.

I really love this vlogger, i really like his voice and he clearly reviewed everything about the phone he featured.❤❤❤

Good vid! but the best adlib idea i've seen lol

At some point in the future, I'd like to get a foldable like this. I don't know what to expect from next year's Samsung. If they fixed their form factor and came down a bit in price, a lot of people might just want to buy them. The S Pen and Samsung Dex are some things that I really think complete the foldable experience, so I don't think I'm quite sold on this OnePlus. But its form factor, hinge and crease look quite a bit ahead of Samsung. Good job OnePlus!

1:46 Thanks, I can totally tell it's light from looking at a video 😁

The intro.... 🔥

I like the way you do reviews. although I don't know English. you talk coherently clearly.

I had Samsung galaxy note 8 and it had an amazing Multi tasking experience featuring up to 5 apps in pop ups. The ‘edge’ apps feature existed since Note 4 edge and has been so useful all along. Samsung was always ahead in the software game. Finally power users have the foldable phone options.

One of the few tech channels that feels like the videos are actually improving over time. Appriciate the bits of critical thinking, deeper than any other video ive seen on this phone.

11:31 You highlighted the periscope as the ultrawide and the ultrawide as the periscope.

great review as always...here's the question, can this device run DEX equivalent desktop function?

Epic Design! + This is THE review people should see

Ok. I have to say something. From this point onwards, you can really tell than Arun's content is stepping up on a another level. And it is amazing as always and it is basically 0 percent clickbait. So happy to be a subscriber to this channel.

His face when he said „that‘s exciting“ for the alert slider was on point with my feelings 😂

4:24 i bet the one holding the glass of water was fidgeting with excitement the whole time waiting for that moment~

He never gonna forget 😅 7:19

I took a chance on a OnePlus phone a few years ago and really have loved the experience. I think they really make a great product. This open looks very enticing but a bit too expensive for what it is.

This phone has convinced me to buy a foldable phone well.. atleast when i get my next phone when its a little bit more affordable

Also, I feel like they could have made a lower version with 12GB + 256GB and could've easily priced very cheaper, and that would've been such a crazy VFM at that price

Oneplus never dissapoints. Still my fav android phones since Oneplus 7 pro.

Thanks for the great review! When will these companies give us a 2nd USB-C connector with their foldables as some tablets have? And when will these foldables actually become affoldable..I mean..affordable😉?

Holy shit this IS the foldable of my dreams. Just make it no lag and higher optimization features. That's literally it. Absolutely phenomenal.
