TBH its nice not having upgraded hardware revealed every year. Gives us a chance to really enjoy what we have. Also gives the company a chance to have an even better device, something that'll pop out a little more.

As the Fold6 seems to still be a remote control, I'm putting my hope on the Pixel Fold 2. But if that doesn't look good, I'll be quite happy sticking with the Open until the Open 2 releases. It's a great phone.

I don't think it would be the worst thing in the world if every phone/laptop manufacturer loved to a new device release every 2-3 years. This idea that we need new devices with tiny, incremental changes every twelve months is crazy and wasteful.

That got us in the first half not gonna lie 😅 Imagine if Oneplus comes out of nowhere with one banger of a phone and then just dips after seeing that it's a more niche market.

Personally I love my oneplus open. Its pretty feature complete. Honestly outside of wireless charging making the phone / camera bump thinner and a newer processor I don't really know what more they could do. Not having to worry about upgrading for one year is nice. It also allows me to really see the durability of these phones.

I'd say they need to improve the buttons. They're higher than most phones and the finger print scanner is flat and small. I prefer the Samsung power button because it's recessed and larger.

@@rushfortacos That's fair I have big hands so I never really had an issue with them but I totally get where your coming from. Recessing the power button would be great. Honestly if these are the biggest problems we have with them I'd still say this is a great phone.

Part of me really wants to get a OnePlus Open but I feel like it really needs a competitor to DEX in order to truly compete with Samsung.

All phones should wait 2 years for release now there to good and what more can they do.

If they can sort out their reliability issues

Android 15 betas are out now for the open!!

Yeah, had a feeling cause the OnePlus Pad and Pad Go haven't had any follow-ups either. Still pretty niche in their categories while there also being other options available already. Just hope it's not a one and done.

i heard that there has been battery power consumption challenges with vivo x fold 3 pro.(excellent fold phones btw) running Snapdragon 8 gen 3. maybe that's why they're skipping a year.. to the 8 gen 4?? food for though.

I think this could be good news for Google if they get their act together with the pixel fold 2.

Or 9 Pro Fold, but when the leaks are right it gonna be nice.

I guess ive been waiting for a next gen open for nothing.

When i first heard the news/rumor, i was actually happy that they werent throwing out another phone just for the sake of it. Give them more time to really improve upon this amazing device. I am curious though, would it still be possible for OnePlus to release this year, even though Oppo is reportedly holding off? They are different markets, so id be curious to hear how theyre doing in NA.

Can you make a video of the Android 15 beta update?

I use the oppo find n3, just a different OS but same phone as the one plus. Bought it a week ago. Changed from my 14 pro max. Incredible phone. The battery life isnt the best though. Can't understand why they're withdrawing. Its such a great device. Cant find a strong case though.

The battery life on my Open is phenomenal, though, I came from the piddly battery of the Galaxy Z Fold 3.

Love my open, no complaints at all. Switched from the fold 4 and couldnt be happier. Just the crease is a worth able upgrade 😂 bigger battery, way better cameras, love the inner screen border because after a month of use the fold 4s black plastic had hideous scratches. Even the screen protector is way more durable as the samsungs scratched from just swiping with your finger. Sammy has to step up their game.

I got a update on the One Plus Open by surprise, no warning other that what I learn from your prior videos . a lot of AI stuff, took me a bit to get the phone back to where I like it, that is where I know where everything is at and my desktop back to the way I set it up . the only APP i had issues with was Simple Note that I shared with those in the house hold mainly for the grocery list and other shopping needs, I dumped it and downloaded a new app that's able to do the same thing. I don't pictorially care for AI T begin with, but I'm afraid I'll have to change I suppose.

I hope not, OnePlus Fold was a good device, although im a Pixel 8 Pro user, it was by far the best foldable imo.

The only downside for me is that the OnePlus Open doesn't have auto data switching. I wanted that on the Open 2.
