OnePlus Open - What makes it so good?

[@joshuabergeman354]

I now have the OnePlus Open and the Zfold 5 and I think they both have things that they do really well. For me it's the cameras on the OnePlus Open and screen aspect ratio on the Zfold 5 And even though I have wireless chargers I don't miss not having it on the Open.

[@simptrix007]

Reverse wireless charging Galaxy Watch and UDC camera are my favorites.

[@jacksonburger2081]

When you say aspect ratio on the fold, you mean the inside, not outside. Right?

[@joshuabergeman354]

@@jacksonburger2081 Both actually! I like the fact that the inner display has a more rectangular aspect ratio because otherwise you end up watching content that is so close to the same size as watching on outer screen that it really doesn't make any difference. And I spent a couple years listening to people tell me how bad the outer screen is that I honestly thought it would be something I would just have to tolerate to have a foldable with OneUI. Turns out that I really like it. I have something going on with my hands so they're in pretty constant pain and so having the narrow cover screen make it a lot easier and less painful for me to type. 🤷

[@jacksonburger2081]

@@joshuabergeman354 I'm Very glad you like the outside screen, that's great to hear. I'm so sorry about your hand and I hope it heals soon. I bought the fold 3 and tried using that for a while and I found the outside screen was a deal breaker for me. No app was optimized for the outside or inside, so it was just impossible to use certain apps. However, I'm glad some people do like it! I feel like that's the nice thing about the Google, OnePlus, and Samsung. Samsung is tall and narrow, Google is short and squat, and OnePlus splits the difference: everyone gets their own personal preference.

Samsung has been beaten in their own game

[@chrgeorgeson]

I guess it just depends what that means by "beaten". I agree, as a OnePlus Open owner, that this is superior in most ways compared to the Fold 4 I was using. However Samsung (in the USA) sells to all carriers, big box stores, and has name prowess. Oneplus... Not so much. You can't buy the Open at a carrier, they aren't advertised nearly as much and don't have much presence besides the enthusiast market.

[@TheOxiongarden]

​​@@chrgeorgeson1- The world does not revolves around US and their carriers. 2- Best does not mean most popular. Justin Bieber used the be the biggest music seller, it does not mean he was the best musician. So yes Samsung as been beaten because out of the all the foldables in the market right now, theirs is the weakest. And I'm saying this as a Fold 4 user (also owned a Fold 2 and 3). I skipped the Fold 5 this year and will do so next year if Samsung keeps being lazy. Those new devices were a disgrace. I was a sheep for 3 years and bought the same devices 3 times. My fault tho, I know now, not happening again

[@DaRazorback]

Great video and great device. I'm glad that I could at least get the global version of the Oppo Find N3 here in Thailand so it does have Android Auto like the OnePlus Open.

[@marlonfrankson8615]

Great video, I had the zfold4 and now have the OnePlus open. The open is by far better (for me) except i prefer 1ui over oxygen os. But you kinda forgot that the open is a foldable most of the time.

[@ddeliyski]

"you might want to be able to charge the f@©¡ng thing!" 😂😂😅🤣 Love it! 👍👋

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed

[@sreviews6397]

It would have been great if OnePlus open offered the u.k. market the same trade in deals/ offers as they do for the US market. Unfortunately oneplus open (like all foldables) have too high an asking price.

[@andrewdhome]

They regularly offer £200 off (twice since its release) plus £100 off for new members

[@jasonelliot9633]

​@andrewdhome that is not enough it's a 1700 dollar phone

[@ikkezelf2906]

Dear Average Dad, Let me first congrat you for your 13,8k followers by Christmas. You were going for 10k, but you surpassed this by far and I can say that it is well desereved. I keep supporting you and I hope one day this channel can be your fulltime job 💪🏼 And once again, I have to say thank you for this great video. I enjoyed it a lot. I have a Oneplus Open and I agree with all what you say about this device. I really love the cover display. I don't use wireless charging, so that is no issue for me. But that 67W superfast charging, man!! That is fabulous! There is 1 thing that I prefer about the Samsung Folds: the software is more polished. But het Oneplus is ok and maybe I have to give myself the time to get used to OxygenOS. Dear Average Dad. I wish you and your family a merry christmas and a great new year!

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Thank you so much for your support this year!! I agree OneUI is more polished but i prefer the look and multitasking on the OnePlus. Have a great Christmas my friend!

[@majtechtings]

I was daily driving the pixel fold/8 pro and really though it was over with...took a chance and got the open on launch...my sim hasnt left this phone since. I adore this phone.

[@ethanlinnett9954]

Grate video Mike. The Oneplus open was actually released in October.

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Thanks mate.... Lord... what a busy 2 months!

[@giftsonvethanayagam2963]

Great video. You are outdoing some veteran and high subscribed channels🎉

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Appreciate it mate

[@TriniChiniese]

I agree with you . from everything i have seen i keep saying this One + Open has all the check marks checked off . the wireless i really don't care for as i have been using my charger cable like any other device so even if the second gen don't have its not important . As the main attraction and the main thing i want from One+ is to concentrate on there OS and what they did with the One+ Open , the multitasking and what they did with there software , just that alone makes the One + Open worth getting. I really want them to keep innovating on the software side .

[@EzekielGoldbergII]

Awesome video man. Been looking at this phone for a while but unfortunately in Switzerland best I can get is parallel import which isn't cheap. Might still bite though. No wireless charging is a really sad decision on Oneplus though.

[@jimmcnevin9367]

Down to business, telling it like it is!❤

[@kravchan]

👏👏👏 grear review. With 1+ yeah, it seems now, that foldable are living option to choose from.

[@usnightm4re]

Okay, i will say that this is my opinion only, but i was in the fence between fold 5 and one plus open! Even tho the one plus open seem to be the better choice for multiple reasons ( bigger outer and inner displays and the less noticeable crease) I end up going for the fold 5. 1- is a more proven phone ( 5th gen) 2-wireless charging 3- one UI ( well optimized by now for fold) 4-pen support 5-will hold it's value if you were to trade in later 6-DEX And maybe i'm missing more, but that alone is worth more to me than having a normal cover screen and a less noticeable crease. Again i know the cover screen on the fold is supper narrow, but the fold is meant to be used open and that cover screen is just to take care of minor things ( would i like samsung to have a bigger outer display? Yes) it would be nice to have a classic form factor but having to deal with this narrow display occasionally, is not taking anything from the amazing experience with the Fold 5 . At the end what i'm trying to say is that you buy this foldables for the inner displays experience, and they both deliver, but ultimately Samsung experience is more polish by now and you get extra perks on top of it.

[@AverageDadOfficial]

this is the 3rd Gen of the Oneplus Open technically and OPPO are way ahead of Samsung. the Open has pen support on both screens mate not just the inner screen like the fold 5.... as far as value, are you mad? you can get a z fold 5 for 1k bow... that is 45% depreciation... OnePlus are nowhere near less than $1200. i respect all opinions but there has to be an element of fact to what you type. Cheers

[@usnightm4re]

@@AverageDadOfficial okay you say you respect opinions but all i see is you disagreeing with pretty much all actual facts here lol. ( sounds like you're defending the one plus from a direct attack lol, i never criticized the phone or say that device is not worth it) I should have been more specific, when i meant value i was referring to if you were to trade the phone for lets say a better version of the fold, like the upcoming fold 6. Samsung usually offer 1K for previous fold version, which i don't think they would offer that for the one plus. Also for average consumer it would be more likely that people would buy the Samsung over a one plus device if were to sell the phone, those are facts. Yeah the one plus open offers pen support, but does it have the neat features the s-pen offers? It doesn't have wireless charging, which for me is a big deal since i have a lot of wireless chargers around, i can also turn the fold into a mini computer with Dex! Does oneplus offer something like that? Again i'm not bashing one plus all i was saying is that i was on the fence and i end up getting the fold 5 because of the extra features it offers over the one plus. Software wise is superior, hardware wise one plus is better, but when it comes down to the inner displays there's nothing special from one to the other one! Or tell me why is One plus open better than the fold five? Taking the outer display out of topic! Again one plus open is a awesome device. And i would be perfectly happy with it

[@sherazade5127]

Have this phone since end November and this week a had a black dot on my inner screen. The next day without any reason a had a black line in the middle of my screen. Its cracked inside. I didnt let it dropp. The inner screen is not responsive. I contacted them and tomorrow i will sent it back for repair. It will take up to 9 days

[@DUICE08]

Man great follow up! I love this phone! I always knew a lot of Chinese phones were killing it, but this brings that limited access to the states for band I love the thot protection lol! Samsung secure folders ain't cutting it for me.

[@Louis1059]

Samsung got complacent. OnePlus Open ftw!!!

[@krzysztofkenobi8072]

... want to charge f thing :D 5 stars :D I stopped buying black and charocal phones becouse when it get scratched or when sand gets under cover case then you have silver shining scratch or dots. On silver phone its less visible. Worst thing about Oneplus is that its not such popular as Samsung and after 3 month I still did not find a case that would satisfy me.

[@mr_stoosh]

Love the OP Open however two things stop it from being my daily driver. The average IMO haptics compared to the OP11 and notifications not being delivered in a timely manner.

[@AverageDadOfficial]

?? it is the same ROM so notifications are on time every time mate.

[@mr_stoosh]

Tell that to the Postman. The ring app notified me 2 mins after he rang the doorbell despite turning battery optimisations off for every app. I've owned nearly every OP device including the T series starting from the OP1 bar the 8 9 and 10 so I'm pretty much well versed in the nuances of OxygenOS. It's well known that OxygenOS has a delay notification issue and is documented in the killmyapp website and OP community forums. Still doesn't excuse the poor haptics though does it?

[@sarmadjafar1799]

you have to point out the fact that the peak brightness numbers are misleading as i got the phone and in reality its not as bright as its supposed to be ; in fact its less bright than my S 23 ultra

[@AverageDadOfficial]

You are wrong sir! the brightness is correct.

Mike, don't put down other users experience with the Open just to justify your purchase. In the tech world each user has different experiences especially with Pixel devices. It's well known that ColorOS / OxygenOS have notification delays. Embrace users experiences even if they don't match up with yours like other content creators such as Shane Craig and TechOdyssey who are open to other opinions and take them on board You're no better than MKBHD and MrWhoseTheBoss when you dismiss user comments that don't align to your experiences.
