Thanks for those, especially tent mode as I was annoyed it didn't have it or so I thought!!

Thanks man... Ur videos really help me the one just purchased my first folding phone.

A couple things... 1. You didn't miss anything, Shane. OnePlus missed the opportunity of properly educating users of a new device how to use it. This is especially important with such a new user interface. 2. It's nice that tent mode works when the phone is set down, however I use tent mode while holding my Surface Duo quite often. I place a finger out two between the screens as an easy way of holding the phone up while watching something when I'm sitting or laying down.

Awesome work, thank you!

Double thumbs up for this video. Great tips!!

Nice video... Thnx for the things... I learnt something.. potrait video mode was something I have been using a lot..

Just received my new One+ Open yesterday. Using MS Launcher until i watch enough of your videos, to migrate to the One+ system. It seems to be better than MS Launcher... but a bit overwhelming for now. Keep up the good work.

Thats so great! Thanks

Thanks for another informative vid

I'm getting close to buying this phone. Great tips here.

Is the case it comes with any good and can you take off the screen protector if you want to?

Thanks as always. My only gripe is not being able to get more app grides. I would e to have 5 apps vs 4. Should not have to download Nova to get that.

The OnePlus Open is my favorite phone I've ever owned. By far the best thing about it for me is the aspect ratios. I have a normal phone on the outside, and a MASSIVE incredible screen on the inside! The hinge is good, but I wish it wasn't such a big threshold for it to snap open. Some angles just can't be achieved because of it. My BIGGEST gripe with the phone, though, is the fingerprint sensor gestures. On Samsung and Google foldables, you can swipe down on the fingerprint sensor to bring down the notification panel. OnePlus is missing this feature when it is so easy to implement! I really hope it comes in Android 14.

Hey Shane, have you seen any condensation issues with the cameras on the Open?

Do you know if you can create a grid for your favorite contacts for speed dialing. I can do this on my pixel fold and I could do it on my z fold

As i hold the Open while watching videos, i use the camera bump almost as a Pop Socket. It sits nicely on your finger or you can actually hold the entire phone by using the bump. Try it.

Loving this video and loving this phone! I think my biggest gripe so far is the state of accessories, I'd like to get 3rd party cases and screen protectors but everything has long shipping times.

Does it support communication sharing for the OnePlus tab

Not yet, and if I had to guess it'll be a few months at the best. Considering the customizations that have to be done to support the unique layout. But who knows, maybe Google having their own foldable will make this process better?

OnePlus def took notes on the Surface Duo, no doubt!

One more thing i found it's a bug but it can be usefull. You can use front screen with phone unfolded in portrait mode if you go into camera. Change it to front view (top left third icon) and return to home screen

Hi Shane, do you have your "voicemail" tab in your phone app working properly? Mine's been saying saying "isn't working, call to finish setup" for 3 days.

I'm not super familiar with this feature, but it does have something called multi-screen connect.

I think they need to fix that tent mode also, that's kind of finicky, the way I saw someone try the table top mode was to turn on the camera open the device up and then turn on selfie mode and then swipe up on the home screen to then have the screen stay on from the outside and then proceeded to open another app to then be able to have table top mode, too many hurdles to jump through, these things should just work as a foldable device.

Is there a way to add more rows of apps like 5 instead of 4 especially on the bottom row?

One thing that I haven't seen talked about in any review is how durable are these phones in case of an accidental drop. I've had my Pixel 8 for three weeks now and it's already taken a 5 ft drop onto a hard tile floor. Fortunately I had slapped a cheap TPU case on it and the phone survived without a scratch.

I can't remember the source, but I did see an article where somebody talked about how they had already dropped their one plus open a couple of times and it survived unscathed. All I can really say from personal experience is that I have seen a Z Flip dropped multiple times and it's been fine and my foldables in general have all lasted as long as I've needed them to.

Does the Open have another round sensor beside the camera on the inner screen? Or is it just for me? You can see this when screen is off.

They get wiped down clean before pretty much every video. Take your phone, put it under a bright light and film it. It's going to accumulate fingerprints pretty much immediately, especially foldables. You can actually see the fingerprints accumulating through the course of most of these videos. You're basically asking me to wipe it down about every 15 seconds.
