Customers consistently note the exceptional camera quality, impressive battery life, and large screen size of the Open 16GB 512GB (Unlocked). Many praise its performance and lightweight design, highlighting the ease of use and effective multitasking capabilities. The foldable design is also frequently lauded. While some mention a crease on the screen, it is generally described as minimal.
Well, for starters I recently switched from iPhone to the Samsung Galaxy 24 Ultra a few months back. I had never really been interested in folding phones, I've always thought they were gimmicky. The only fold phone that I had ever held in person was the Galaxy Z fold. Seemed ok but wasn't convinced. I stumbled across a lot of reviews on the OnePlus fold and the reviews were spectacular. Even the most popular tech reviewers said that this was the best fold phone available in the US beating the Samsung Z Fold and Google fold. So I took a chance and ordered the phone. A bit pricey for $1700 however a week later it dropped to $1500 and Best Buy was able to approve the price match (That's why I love Best Buy). It did not disappoint when I received it. It came in a beautiful large red box with a charger, cable and case. The phone also came with screen protectors preinstalled on the outer and inside screens. First, the build and color are phenomenal with premium material. Looks luxurious and fits good in the hand. Next the front display is like using a normal phone. It's a tad bit larger than the iPhone 15 pro and a bit smaller than the iPhone ProMax. So I can use the front display like a traditional phone for normal use. Now for the main event, the inside is flawless. It opens up smoothly, the screen is bright and crispy. The crease is very minimal and barely noticeable. It opens up a full 180 degrees unlike the Z Fold. I love how all the apps are optimized to fit the square aspect ratio of the inside display. The experience is super smooth like butter. It's like using an iPad mini. Biometrics are great I like the fingerprint sensor on the power button and Face ID works great. I will have to use this without a case. The case seems very awkward and makes it much chunkier. I will have to be super careful to not drop it or scratch it. Now for a few minor complaints. Battery life isn't the best like the iPhone, however it charges insanely fast with the charger in the box. Last the camera bump is huge therefore it moves excessively when laid flat. Overall the good things about this phone totally outweigh the negatives. If you are thinking about trying or switching to the foldable phone realm, I strongly recommend this one. You will not be disappointed. I will officially be using this as my main phone indefinitely.

Great device, coming from a three year old LG Wing, so I have some experience with multiple screens. The Open is a great in terms of size, and ability. Small for your pocket, big when you need it. Speakers are great, cameras are great, screens are great. Software is mature, not cartoony. I've had it a little over a week, I typically have 3-4 hours screen time per day, this will go two days before needing a charge. Charges super quick, like unnatural quick. Pretty amazing. Super happy, if you want the coolest phone on the room, this is it. I got the green, it's beautiful, changes to a matte gray at different angles. On sale for the same price as a pedestrian iPhone?! No brainier, Don't Settle!

I have preferred OnePlus since the very first time I held one. Compared to the two top brands, I will choose OnePlus. They are always less expensive than Apple and Samsung yet pack mostly the same guts (boards, chips...) higher specs, more RAM, a better battery,. I have noticed it is lighter, due to the cover front and back are a type of plastic, not metal, I have to have a case for it anyway before I start using it, i seem to accident prone. And Now I own the Open! and it is great, I love it. The large screen has a line down the fold but I don't see it when i am using it, Its fun for games and video, and great for multitasking, with all the extra screen space. Thank you OnePlusOpen, and Best Buy!
