you can use tent mode with a slight workaround. Open the camera app and use the selfie view that will turn off the inner display and show camera app on main display while still open. Then you can close the camera app and open youtube etc. This can also be used as reverse laptop mode so you don't have the hinge snapping issue you mentioned.

[@glutentaco]

😮

[@The_Brimada]

That's a cool workaround, but hopefully they'll make it a feature with a software update.

[@batista7190]

You can just open it up all the way first, then close it to about the tent mode size give it a sec and it will work

[@kvrharishkumar7408]

That's a brilliant workaround! Hope they won't treat it as a bug and fix it with the next update!

[@carriebeary8]

You can use tent mode. You just have to open it up while it's on the table

[@tyronepratt9440]

For those unaware, Flex mode works better the other way around. Just use it with the camera side up. I know it seems like it would tip over with huge camera bump, but of the 2 batteries in the Open, the heavier battery is on the outside screen side.

[@damianjfilms]

That's exactly how I use it

[@scaryifliteral]

Screen down makes me sad lol

[@jaysonjay7852]

agreed! you can get more video screen in KZbin that way

[@damianjfilms]

@@jaysonjay7852 how? When I do it this way, my notifications bar is still at the top of the video. Is it the same for you? I always felt like we was loosing screen real estate with the bar at the top when in flex mode. Even when I pinch to zoom.

[@enda0man]

Thanks for making this video. As someone that’s thinking about getting a foldable, the software is just as important and you’re one of the very few people that review it properly instead just the device hardware

[@UTubeGenius]

Thank you for taking time out of your day for making this video. Now I can optimize my experience even better with my OnePlus open

[@guthrien]

It's funny, I thought after my Fold, this software was much cleaner and less complex, but there's just a crazy amount of really well thought out features. This phone has just come out of nowhere to fulfill my fold phone hopes. Really glad (I guess I should have assumed) you are creating content with it in addition to the Pixel. Those were dark days... haha.

[@batista7190]

Also shane, tent mode does work, you just have to open the phone up all the way and then slowly close it to tent size and give it a second and will work.

[@elmhurstenglish5938]

nope, tested, doesn't work.

[@williamcopeland2617]

Good video, Shane. You by far explained and broke down everything much better than other reviewers. Hopefully you can do a comparison with the phone to the DUO 2. Microsoft really hit a homerun as far as multi-tasking goes, and just made it so simple and easy compared to these other foldables. Keep dropping videos and thanks again.

[@The_Brimada]

Yeah, there are only a few guys who go and break down the device in detail since they actually plan to drive them. Others just want to get their video clicks for the new device and then jump on to the next one.

[@alexwilliamson1441]

This is a great video Now the thing that is putting me off about this device is whether they will keep it updated I am thinking this is the future of android devices and tablets, but wouldn't want to replace it at the cost every few years because they don't update the software

[@goblin_attourney]

just got a OPO and this was very useful, thanks!

[@dhruvilpatel856]

I'm 3 mins into the video and it is already so underrated video by far!!!

[@Shadowfax1804]

Thanks Shane, despite being a very long time Android user, still picked up a few good tips from you!

[@scottulrich4200]

Well done Shane. It's nice to see somebody that knows their way around the phone well enough to help me to know whether or not it's the things that I find important should I get it. I do have one question though. Since you went over a lot of camera things and that is, can you pull a shot from a video and make it a picture. Often when I'm trying to capture something specific, I don't always use my camera. I record a video and then look for the perfect picture and frame it. Just wanted to know if you could do that with the OnePlus open?

[@mndjr]

The video I've been waiting for!

[@carmcarm8230]

Great video!!! I was an apple fan boy, but decided to change. I just bought mine and don’t know how to use it. Thanks

[@mikecannon374]

One of the very best in-depth reviews I have watched...well done sir .

[@ryansavage1410]

Your tech coverage is awesome. Def becoming my goto daily source for tech videos! keep up the good work.

[@2ru2pacFan]

Damn I wasn't expecting the tips and tricks that quick as you only opened it yesterday but I'm here all for it dude! Thank you!

[@scaryifliteral]

This was what I did pretty much the entire rest of the day and some of this morning lol.

[@2ru2pacFan]

@@scaryifliteral definitely appreciate it as your the first person to do this I believe. Also you didn't mention a feature called System Clone (I think), it had that feature on the 11 but could you please confirm if it has this feature on the open dude?

[@Sidmaster22t]

​@@2ru2pacFanyes. It has system clone

[@Toots_McPoopins]

Mine is being delivered tomorrow (late to the game) and this video was very helpful! Glad to see they have so many great features baked in without having to get 3rd party apps for gestures and launcher customization and such. Thank you!

[@jling0427]

Thank you Shane. I am new to android and first timer with foldable phone. This video helps me with easy transition.

[@JRichardB]

Thanks Shane. I'm a huge fan. I'm curious as to whether I might be able to connect a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard so I can do some detailed work in Google sheets formulas

[@burnetthale8938]

Just want to take the time to say thank you. An amazing video. You explained everything very well and that a very beautiful speed that allowed your viewers to follow along. I'm a long time Samsung user. And I went to Samsung from apple because I love innovation. Samsung has gotten a little lazy with the Z Fold4 5 and 6. And I'm very much considering going to the OnePlus open. Keep up the great work. I'll be following you, I subscribed and? I'll be looking for more tips. Videos like yours make me think going to. The OnePlus open is going to be something I'm going to really enjoy. KZbin was like you make KZbin great, keep up the great work.

[@scaryifliteral]

Thank you!

[@raychow5419]

Don't underestimate the sidebar!! It brings up a floating window app into the picture. 3 apps multitasking and then use sidebar for a quick glance for a certain app.. very useful for calculator app, notes, etc anything.

[@CastroJordan]

I have a z fold 5 and iPhone 15 Pro, if I’m being honest.. I would’ve bought the one plus open at preorder. I just need to not spend extra money and save right now. I think it’s a beautiful and great device. For me I’ll have to wait for the fold 6/ pixel 2/ open 2 and make a decision.. 2 phones is my limit for right now.. but I want it, but not willing to give up my z fold so I’ll enjoy it through videos.

[@Ma8icMurderBag]

To use tent mode with the functionality that you were hoping for, open it like you did and just put it down. It should automatically switch over to tent mode once placed on the table in the tent position.

[@Ma8icMurderBag]

And I just noticed the video where you display this feature correctly... so nvm.

[@MylesC1234]

As a fold 5 user this is good. Competition will force more innovation. A lot of these features could easily be implemented by samsung with a software update. Just a matter of if they want to.

[@1127kike]

Yup... My main device is a z fold 5... I carry a second phone for work... Got the Pixel Fold and hated it... But this one... I might make it my main device... 🤔🤔🤔

[@TOTALLYTMAC]

Outstanding video! I learned so much that will facilitate even more enjoyment of my OnePlus Open! Thank you!

[@desray2k]

Craig, you are doing it wrong for the flex mode. The big lens side of the phone should be on top facing outwards and not underneath. It will provide more stability. The use of a case will also help with the stability as well. Try it.

[@scaryifliteral]

Screen down makes me sad. Also, my name is Shane.

[@desray2k]

@@scaryifliteral 😆 Are there any third party case for OnePlus in the States?

[@Just.Here.For.Comments]

Awesome video. I'm actually struggling to get this device or keep my Chinese Oppo. After watching your video I realize that nearly ALL the settings are the same. I'd basically be "upgrading" for a little more screen real estate and Android Auto. Meh. OH, also, tent mode is..... KINDA there. At least on my Oppo Find N2 Fold. I find that if I start a video on the outer display, go landscape, then slowly open and set down in a tent, it generally stays in tent mode.

[@vijayvithify]

Nice work man! Using the OnePlusOpen comming from S23U certainly the android experience is different. Just a little getting used to look for setting and controls.

[@MrWaz411]

Thanks Shane great video. I got mine 3 days ago, and the sim card is back in the z fold 5. I just can't jump on board with it.

[@MJK0627]

As usual, another great learning video. It seems like the Open has even a better aspect ratio than the Pixel Fold. I just bought the Pixel 8 Pro or I might consider this. Cost of folding phones is still a major issue though.

[@dennan4]

The Open canvas is a game changer for me compared to other foldables. So far I dont miss my Duo for multitasking because of this.

[@GerardoRodriguez-sx5ng]

Great Great presentation so thanks for all details. Oneplus Open is a really good option!

[@jaysonjay7852]

Thank you so much for this video! I finally left Apple to the OnePlus Open and i love it but also kinda loss.. I know for a fact im not using the Oneplus to its full potential because Im still learning to work with it

[@ACatCalledSnow]

Shane, can you do a video for Surface Duo users that compares the OnePlus Open, Pixel Fold and Samsung Galaxy Fold as the best one to move to? Keep up the great work.

[@scaryifliteral]

I plan on it

[@ACatCalledSnow]

@@scaryifliteral Fantastic! Thank you. Looking forward to this.

[@MasterCamus]

How is the haptic enigine when compared to an iPhone or Samsung galaxy?

[@rcorso75]

Hi Shane, As usual another great informative video! Thanks so it looks like the home screen is like the Pixel fold. Two individual pages.. not like the Galaxy fold? Also cover display and inner screen mirror each other. I hope they change that. Can't wait till I get mine!

[@djschlachanfall]

Thank You, I just bought it. How is the video quality, how to watch films?

[@carlitos05]

As a Fold owner, I am impressed. Ill wait until te Fold 6 to decide if I'll switch.

[@danielnavarrete2892]

You totally nailed it when AUto Correct changes the word to Duck HAHAHA.

[@Mac_Loves_Tech]

I love the Assistive Ball feature on the Open.

[@TrialsProgression]

Very helpful, just got and happy to watch and take advantage of all these optimizations. Thank you

[@Karenkearns007]

Thanks Shane, a great video but how do you add folders to the Task bar please ?

[@JustinJoy]

Great review as always. How is the included case? I assume it will be difficult to find third party accessories for this device.

[@scaryifliteral]

It's pretty basic, a bit flimsy.

[@TunedByJ]

Shane awesome video man, very well appreciated since the Open is my first OnePlus/Oxygen OS device. Loving it! Can you recommend any screen protectors for the front screen?

[@fahmiriyadi3468]

didn't it already installed from the factory?

[@TunedByJ]

@@fahmiriyadi3468 yup I just didn’t realize it at the time

[@CJ-bw8ek]

So pixel fold vs the open... What's your favorite duo2 replacement so far? Awesome video as always Shane. You're the best!

[@scaryifliteral]

Too early to tell

[@matsleight]

Moved from duo2 to open, not looked back. (Didn't get the fold)

[@KeepieUppie10]

Damn! Loads of customisation options. Thanks for sharing an in-depth look. Hopefully see a good deal for it during Black Friday.

[@richardbrown1867]

I agree I'm also waiting for Black Friday because they aren't scheduled to ship until late Nov anyway lol

[@TellyS100]

Very helpful. Just got my 1+ Open! BTW, under Languages mine shows "Other" rather than Gboard, but I don't know where to change that.

[@MobileTechHardeman]

Helped me with 4 tips I didn't know about.

[@JohnPerezJBGbass]

Good stuff! Thanks .. What have you found or recommend to help with screen touch sensitivity? I have problems with sensitivity towards the edge of screen.

[@AdamConnelly15]

Great video. Thanks for the detailed walk thru. I am guessing you are still going to do a 1+ open v Fold 5 video after using the phone for while ? I am now thinking of getting the Open, Samsung got too complacent, if 1+/Oppo could do this within 3 years why couldn't Samsung do more after 4 years before they came out with the fold 5 ? Oppo/ 1+ are on to something. Samsung watch out. I think the Oppo flip 3 is better than the Samsung flip 3 too. Why do Samsung keep making narrow phones???

[@rogierlevy2084]

Thanks! Great video with a couple of handy tips!

[@stay5143]

I want to switch from Fold 4 to Open: Before i watch the video: I would miss my One UI features when i switch After watching: One UI miss so many features I WANT TO SWITCH

[@spicematthews8034]

Any chance you're going to put out something similar for the Oppo find n3 fold with the color 14 software? It would be interesting to see what differences you come up with.

[@chadmckinney3000]

Thanks Shane! Good job on the video 👍🏼

[@A1-Odyssey]

I have the oneplus open. Pretty sweet phone. I notice tho youtube is kinda laggy at times. Any reason why ?

[@ashleydsouza5663]

Absolutely fantastic review 👍🏻

[@la10sooony]

Thank you so much for the video. Can you please make another video for the notificationa. Can I set notifications to pup up in a bubble just like samsung? And what about hidden notifications feature. Please if you have time just show us more privacy settings . Thank you.

[@droppinloot4960]

Im not pleased with my Fold 😢. I'm curious if this is or future versions will be a good replacement down the road

[@JordanGmt]

I was the same way with my pixel fold until android 14 qpr1 beta came out. The one plus open fold does have more features than the z fold 5 and pixel fold. Hopefully google can learn a thing or two from one plus.

[@juancarlosmunoz8988]

Hey Shane I would like to update mi fold 4 to the OnePlus open but they are just offering 600 for the fold. Do you have any idea where to get a better value for the fold 4?

[@A1Bokeh]

i currently have a note 10 plus...its still running pretty decent..unsure if i should wait or get this phone . it woudl be nice bcause that multi tasking. Some of my quipment can use an app so multiple apps at once would be sweet

[@devshah3626]

Watching this on my OnePlus open ❤

[@DJBuan01]

For the selfie option using the back camera, does it need to be unfolded or can it be folded while taking a selfie?

[@callmemarc]

What is a good widget that shows battery percentage and a visual representation of battery left? I used to like the one that came with Beautiful Widgets and all of the ones I have tried come with a bunch of extra garbage that I don't want.

[@83Haukka]

Tent mode first switches on big screen but after phone is set on table /\ it switches front screen.

[@James-cz9iy]

Was just about to comment this also. Randomly found this method works for me as well while trying others suggestions which is great, much less farting around, so happy about that lol

[@redstang70]

Great video..im so used to Samsung and OP is certainly different. Is there any way to get rid of the split screen (tablet mode) view in settings and outlook email? Not a fan of that dual view. Also i dont see any option for portait video?

[@matsleight]

This was great! I've been using Android for years but learnt some good stuff today. Think with watching, pausing, checking my phone then playing again, I'm probably over an hour 🤣 kudos for this, look forward to more.

[@scaryifliteral]

That's awesome, thanks!

[@kwj16]

Very helpful information!!! Thanks mate !!!! 😍🔥

[@Mildern]

Have you tried Niagara laucher with this? I've been using it on all my foldables the past few years. About to trade in my pixel fold for one of these potentially.

[@grahambrown42]

Helpfull video thanks 👍

[@SageBlueMusic]

It would be neat if they made a + version of this phone, where it has an outer display like the OP12 and a huge inner display. I could handle it lol.

[@joshuabergeman354]

This video is so helpful, thanks.

[@simongorton3229]

Sticking around, as I have the Oppo N3 1gb in red on order👍

[@Saintathantwinpeaks]

That gb would restrict me, but good luck.

[@desray2k]

I couldn't help but notice some differences in terms of features between Color OS on the Oppo Find N series and the Oxygen OS. Case in point, the power menu feature double click the power button to launch camera app not found in Color OS. 😢 Edited: Initially I thought Edge lighting feature is missing in Find N3. It turns out that it is there in Find N3 as well.

[@atodamadre3197]

This might be a stupid question or you brought it up and I just missed it but I like turning my duo 2 sideways and playing call of duty on one screen and watching a video on the other. Is that even possible with the open without it being side by side

[@franciscosalas6779]

Hi! Does somebody know how he has a wallpaper on the app drawer? I can't find how to do it

[@NVGEAR]

TWO HUGE problems with this phone: 1. Glitch in the google contacts app on this phone that limits the notes field to 1000 characters only, making most of my contact's notes field cut off. Does not happen on any other android (pixel fold, galaxy, vivo, xiaomi) or ios iphone. 2. Cannot remove the google discover page on the left of the home screen super annoying. 2.

[@n-v-me7022]

Hello great content ? You know where I can adjust sensitivity for webpages example when scrolling up and down on Amazon page it's very sensitive and imwill scrolling it select any page then I have to go back thanks

[@SuperJOVega]

I wish the PF had the same features GF5, OP Open and SD2 has, not a brainer for the creators of Android OS, this was a huge miss from Google.

[@TimothyLung]

I have found that there are some apps that just do not want to open in landscape mode, is there any way to force them? I don't even care if there's boxes on both sides

[@philipm660]

Is the Gmail app working correctly now? On my 9pro it is still out of sync and requires manual actualisation....still not fixed so one plus is out for me ...went for a pixel 8 pro

[@Ipeacocks]

I've heard that Open doesn't support all games which supports high screen refresh rate. Is it true?

[@theg9750]

Does it open multiple instances of the same app? Like Google sheets? I can open many instances of Google sheets in my smartphone. Does this support in same way?

[@spicematthews8034]

So what is the difference between the Oppo fold and the Oneplus fold? Is it software or hardware or both? Big difference in cost so…..?

[@scaryifliteral]

Oppo Find N3 and OnePlus Open are the same devices, released in different regions.

[@AGRIV8TD1963]

What about the Honor Magic V2? Thinner, lighter, bigger, but is it better?🤔

[@Maxx134a]

Only issue with the Honor is the China ROM will never be as good as a global man or just a US phone. This issue is mainly in USA.

[@simongorton3229]

Smart side bar is good for when the phone is closed so not redundant

[@davk846]

Is is possible to have the videos on KZbin or other video apps to go full screen (as in use up the whole screen as much as possible). Thanks.

[@scaryifliteral]

You can pinch to zoom on youtube as on any other device.

[@jebaker2]

Helpful... Thanks!

[@Shadowofzero]

The back of this phone in black looks like one of those Marshall amps and/or speakers.

The case on the OnePlus website has a kick stand on the back to prop it up... If only there were some way to prop your phone up at an angle without having a case on it...

[@liamjr92]

great video subbed

[@paterpater100]

I'd like to see a comparison between the pixel fold, z fold, and open with watching full screen content on youtube and see which ones have the greater video watching aspect ratio. (I already have a pixel fold so I'm just curious)

[@desray2k]

Sold my Pixel fold within a month as it is a horrendous user experience for me. I have such high hopes for Pixel fold and turned out to be the biggest disappointment in 2023. I sold my Z Fold 5 after one month too and went for iPhone 15 Pro Max and guess what, I just sold 2 days ago after getting the Oppon Find N3 here in Singapore. 😂 Oppo or OnePlus did a lot of things right for foldable. This will set the standard to reach for all foldable manufacturers next year.

[@jaysonjay7852]

sell your Pixel fold and get the OnePlus Open.. thank me later... I had the Fold iv and Pixel Fold... this phone blows them out of the water

[@paterpater100]

@@jaysonjay7852 Trade-in value from OnePlus is 1000$ for the pixel fold so I'm thinking about it. It's not instant though, you have to pay the full amount and then they reimburse, so I would need to get more money first.
