Well done mate! Hands down the best phone review I've ever seen. I was on the fence before this but now I'm sold!

i have had the Open for about 2 weeks ago. Been a Galaxy Z fold user since the 2nd gen, and have tried the pixel fold twice. By far (except samsung does have a slight edge on software implementation, especially when it comes to using multiple apps; the Open is 1A, tho) this is the best presentation of a foldable fold in the US. The only complaint is Samsung's hinge, particularly when it comes to holding different angle, has this thing beat. If you tilt the Open much more back than 90 degrees it will pop flat, while the current Fold Z 5 will hold any angle; a big plus if you like taking pictures. Beyond those 2 caveats, especially when it comes to the camera, Open wins. BTW, fantastic review. I just subscribed.

Hello Michael, this is a great video and I do love this phone. I am glad I skipped the Pixel fold, this is the One to get. And loved your photos section too 😊

Got my OnePlus Open for $749 after they gave me $830 on a trade in for my OnePlus 11. The Open far and away blows the folds I've owned out of the water. As a matter of fact the Open is the best phone I've ever used! And I've had a ton! Thanks for the great review!

best photo comparison I've seen in a review. Thanks for posting!

Samsung needs to adopt the same ratio . I just really hate the ZFold's narrow outer screen. If they can make this the same as the OnePlus Open or the S23 Ultra outerscreen, then I'm all up to changing to a foldable phone.

Loved this review. I've been with Apple for quite a few years now. Hubby has had the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and now 5. I'm using the Apple 13 Pro Max. I was going to upgrade to the new 15 Pro Max, but started messing with the Flip, and found it "fun". I looked at several videos of the Galaxy Fold 5, but really wasn't impressed, then came upon your video. I'm with AT&T, and have already researched and found I can trade in my iPhone 13 Pro Max for the OnePlus! Hopefully, I can acclimate myself back into the android world. Thanks again for a great review!

Did I miss the battery part of this review? How's the battery? Especially after 1 month

Hey Josh, what camera you using to record? Got dizzy due to the noticeable shifting of focus.

I have a wireless car mount and wanted to know will i have any issues placing the oneplus in the charger? I have not received the phone yet so was looking for information just in case i need to purchase a car mount thats not wireless.

Nice video! Can it open two instances of the same app on one screen for multi-tasking? As in, can I open two Google Sheets side by side to compare the figures in the Sheets? I can split two Google Sheets top and bottom on my android bar phone for vertical multi-tasking. Androids open multiple instances of Google Sheets. Can I use it on the Open?

why all these 1 month review... 3 weeks review .... ended up being repeating materials and never really any real world use experience. You mentioned the charging speeds written on the specs, what about your REAL world test ? How did the charging perform ? u mentioned IPX4 which I can also read in its datasheet but have you tested anything at all ie (real world test) ? Oneplus already showed demo on the drag and drop feature into email. But did you test anything else ? does it work on whatsapp? does it work on other chat platforms ? which one did you test ? Why does it have a thicc black bar on the bottom during multi windows view around 12:07 ? how does the black bar compared to other folding phones when watching youtube or other media consumption ? does the larger screen real estate helps in media consumption or the 1:1 aspect ratio gives thicc black bars which eventually reduce youtube frame size compared to samsung ? We need info bro Michael. Not things that we already know. Please give us REAL 1 month review.

9:20 Not to mention, no-one supports damage from chlorine or salt. Water immersion is usually tested in pure water, from what I've heard.

Watching this on my OnePlus Open 😊

For the first time ever this is the one foldable that is growing on me good job one plus

I have a Fold 3 I bought on Swappa in mint condition for $525. I've had it nearly a year and really like it. When the Open makes it to Swappa, I'll probably upgrade primarily for the cover screen. I bought a stylus but rarely use it as it's a pain to carry and only works with the main screen.

I just saw a lot of great improvements in foldable phone by Oneplus... Still wait to see its durability. I still don't trust the screen inside...

Your video creation is informative and illustrative entertaining. Thanks for the information. 😎💯💪🏾👍🏾

Great video and finally some that put the comparison of the 512gb.... Planning on getting one!

Wow I didn't think the camera would be this impressive. OnePlus did very well

Hi Michael. Great video as usual. Thanks for the details on the review. 1+ certainly impressed me. The hardware and software of the Open are great. Nice to see the addition of the taskbar/dock when you open the phone. I don't think their software is at Samsung's level yet but it would get better. I think Samsung took too long, I couldn't believe my eyes when they released the Fold 5 with no improvement. Well done 1+. Even though I am a Samsung fan, I am definitely going to get this phone.

Good stuff! My Open will be here tomorrow but I've dropped like 5 devices in the toilet....Dang!

Michael Awesome video. Really enjoyed. Thanks so much for sharing. ✌️

Oneplus open or Honor Magic V2? Can't decide

And please let me know the song you play when you say a confident snap please tell me the song name

Well done Michael. Enjoyed the video. Sent from my OnePlus Open 😜

i agree with the wireless charging that it's not efficient but having it as an option is a plus especially reverse wireless charging

The only thing is that whenever I'm in a situation where I forgot to charge my headphones, I can put on reverse wireless charging and charge it however other than that I never use it lol.

EXCELLENTLY PRESENTED AND APPRICIATE ONE OMTH REVIEW

What's the wallpaper? Thanks 2:37

..... Barely any "one month" content in this video.

Are you reviewing Honor magic v2?

I've had foldables since the ZFold 1. I'm typing this on my Lenovo X1 Fold. My concern is simple: foldable displays are simply more prone to failure as are the complex hinges. On OnePlus reddit subs, people actually complain about two - three month turn times for repairs. Until they have a better service network in the states, that's the single largest thing holding me back.

i really appreciate videos tackling phones one month later, it really shows how it does in real life

Love my samsung galaxy z fold but i gotta say, one plus definitely hit the ball out of the park with this one. I'm definitely considering this phone when i upgrade in the near future. It has a bigger outer display, 65w fast charging , a beautiful design, great cameras and samsung like multitasking 👏🏼... Great video josh 👍🏼😅

A very comprehensive video 📹 ❤️

I agree, no wireless charging. I have never used wireless charging.

Correction, manufacturers have not struggled to make foldable with the proper aspect ratio and decent weight. Many manufacturers have done this for over a year now, but they were not released them outside of China. I am typing this on the Huawei mate X3, which I have had for 6 or 7 months, and is better than the oppo find open in pretty much all respects except for price and the fact that it does not have 5g (since the huawei has re released a 5g version called the Mate x5)

Does the OnePlus open have a selfie camera?

#Just TOP CLASS!! None can give the best review than this, not even better🤴

Excllent review , ordered mine replacing z fold 4

5:07 - last 100,000 folds!?!? I have always wondered about these folding phones and longevity. Great review!

Is this camera going to be better than my find X2 pro?

add 5 icons background is possible ?

I use wireless charging on my main phone while I sleep as you can grab your phone without dragging a cable with it

Watching this video on my one plus open.. I had Samsung z fold prior,but i think one plus open is better than samsung z fold

Josh for all along bin asking to do mi reviews on Huawei flagships bt no way to my request since the USA BAN, don't know Yyy?, u live in US, plz do us Huawei phones too, thnx for the video, OnePlus done smth unique to competition this production around grt review en am ur fan bt u delay to make vids, love foldables since Huawei mate X produced, till now to Huawei mate X5 still priced en their brother Flips too

Regarding the aspect ratio: I don't want to be offensive, but as long as you don't use a Foldable as your daily-driver and you don't stop looking at it from a slab-phone user's perspective, you will fail to see the reason for Z Fold's aspect ratio. The only manufacturer who nailed the aspect ratio is so far only Samsung. The book-style Foldables are for people who want a tablet which can become pocketable. The Z Fold is indeed the most pocketable book-style Foldable. Having an aspect ratio and size of a standard slab phone contradicts the pocketability. Whoever ends in using the cover screen most of the time, won’t need a book-style Foldable. Such a person is better off with a Flip: a slab phone which becomes pocketable. The main screen (inner-screen) is the most important one. That squarish main screen of 1+ Open neither looks nor feels like a tablet. If there is no difference between the landscape and portrait mode, the entire multi-tasking experience is not that optimal. Whenever I use my Z Fold5 one-handed, I use it in portrait mode because it is easier to hold. In case of 1+ Open and Z Fold in landscape mode, you’ll get quickly tired because the balance is different. I like the Open Canvas concept of 1+ Open, but there is much more to multi-tasking than this. I would have to write pages … Regarding the Pen: 1+ Open did not even mention the Pen support. Can you imagine why not to mention it while their main competitor has Pen support? Not every Pen works well. And just because a pen can be used it does not mean it is useful. And the S Pen works perfect and the tons of specially tailored features are also relevant. Another aspect that is extremely relevant is the Flex mode. 1+ Open supports more or less just the Camera App and UKposts in this mode. But the Flex Mode supported in Z Fold is on another level, also with 3rd party software support it. And you can use it with literally with every app. There are so many other relevant aspects where You can see why the Z Fold is so mature. I think the reviewers should either compare the devices thoroughly and not selective (e.g., in case of camera just a few pictures in certain light condition, and leaving out the video part completely), or they should just tell what is good in the device in Focus without mentioning the competition only in aspects where the device in focus might have some advantages.

Ive been using mine for a week (watching on it now) and I like it but its not without issues. Im not giving up my fold 5 for it at any rate

Thanks for this great content I'm buying this phone tonight. 👍👍👍👍

There's no making mistakes here, the OnePlus Open is the best foldable in the market now

I have a OP10 Pro which has wireless charging. Used it once in my car. Dont see a benefit much when wireless is still wired and often in the same location as a charging brick with a cable. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Caught that Spongebob meme insertion at the mention of number of hinge parts 🤣 #genius (Also, damn it...I, now, wanna trade in my Z Fold 4!)

This phone looks interesting. But i absolutely love my pixel fold. Think will wait till next year t9 see what the fold 2 is offering

until when will iPhone step up to this evaluation? I love the flip design. I don't want to be that guy. However, it is my thing to acquire with my Mac transmitter.

All of that specs in just 1699$? Darn that a super great deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How i wish it will be released also here in the Philippines!

Great review

I think not including wireless charging is just cheaping out and saying you went for fast charging instead of wireless is making excuses as you can have both. It's not one or the other, you can have both. It's an extremely expensive phone and it omitting such basic features is incredibly stupid.

Generally wireless chargers are 15w and its a bit slow for today's standards and high end phones with bigger batteries.

Unfortunately the oneplus (oppo) is USD 200 more expensive than the z fold 5 where i am at. and no trade in promotion

I want it, getting one soon

Woah what was that fold phone at the beginning? Edit: that Find N looks hot af🔥

I bought one and love it, thank you for the video

Michael does it come with esim only or physical and esim?

Помогли разобраться с управлением многооконностью. Спасибо большое!

Foldable phones give me nightmares. Former fold4 user. Hinge gave up after 1.5yrs even though it was maintained in a spotless condition. Got it repaired somehow and luckily exchanged it for s23 ultra. Phew.

I want one, however the price is to steep and I don't understand why none of the carriers are not providing them yet?

Got used to fast charging so don't miss my wireless charging.

Very well made review Michael!! I really liked it.

2 physical sim cards for USA????????????

nice review... but no comment regarding battery life....

Was looking for a one month later review lol

The OnePlus open is not only the best foldable phone in America but I think it's one of the best phones in america. I would put it right up there with the s23 ultra and the iPhone 15.

4:50 lmao

Does it support displayport over USB-C?

still waiting for the honor v2 to release globally haha

Try mo i review ung kyocera torque G04 talagang waterproof at seawaterproof

Aside from the zoom, I think the camera is a bit overrated. Its not the Z killer some people have made it out to be.

I have the z fold 5 and the open now, i'm trying to sell the z fold now. I love the one plus.

Am a lover for oneplus phones but the open isn't available in my country yet in Singapore :')

That Camera bump is a turn off

I wish it will be available here in Calgary,Canada😅

Hi Michael!say hello to Dr.Jim and ate Jin!

I WANT IT

we saw it hahahaha lmao the queendom puzzle and the spongebob 😂

Waiting for a foldable that will have an ip68 rating, until then, I'm not rich enough to care. But I want one so much

amazing thanks

Bring it outside on a cold or humid day and see it moisture gets in the cameras lenses it's happening alot this is a big problem

I was going to buy this phone today but I found out that the phone itself is not water resistant and I work outside so if it rains I'll have no phone if it gets water demage so it looks like I'm not going to buy the oneplus hopefully next year the next oneplus open will be water resistant its crazy they make a phone like this and it's not water resistant definitely a waste of money for now like I said the next oneplus open hopefully it will be water resistant. Real 💯

I love my OnePlus Open. I just wish I could find some premium cases for it. Case manufacturers really need to step up

I love to buy Samsung Galaxy z fold 5 over the OnePlus open because Samsung Galaxy z series is unbeatable when it comes to fold it's same like iPhone industry the feel of Samsung Galaxy can't sense into other foldes so z fold 5 is best I love to see that narrow screen for fold 5 that's incredible beautiful we love it and android experience on Samsung Galaxy is outstanding very smooth operating system and UI for Samsung it's amazing 😍

Ordered mine on Tuesday, getting it on the 22nd, to replace my oneplus 9 Pro, which has been great

Wrong they are very durable since I've owned my Z Fold 3 over 2 years still like new in a case. Also now have the Pixel Fold which one best foldables with awesome software.

Had one of these, screen died within 24 hours of little to zero use. Thankfully the support was great and they were very accommodating. I couldn't mess around with replacements on a design fault this big with a phone this expensive, so went for a refund. This is the nature of early adopters I suppose.

Is this a long ad?

it looks great but unfortunately the price is also great!i bought a one plus eleven. a bit more in my league

Nice!

I love my OnePlus Open but really wish it had wireless charging. Wired charging (even fast charging) requires me to think about it and create 20-40 minutes i won't need ky phone when it's low. With wireless, i just drop it on the stand on my desk or the cradle in my car which keeps it topped off. And at night, it's so much easier to find and use a wireless charger in dim lighting than plugging in USB-C.

Dual SIM? International? That is what I need.

I really liked one+ open/oppo N3... still considering...what holds me back: 1. No water resistance 2. No wireless charging - def. a plus esp if you are at work and you do not want to unplug/replug ur phone. 3. DEX or desktop mode... WHAT if they will partner with Windows? Hahahaha
