The wireless charging complaint is so ridiculous on a OnePlus device when they give you ACTUAL fast charging AND the CHARGER IN THE BOX. Wireless charging is far less efficient and more damaging to long term battery health. KZread reviewers make the same complaints all the time about OnePlus but don’t complain that Apple, Samsung and Google took chargers out of the box and didn’t complain when Apple took away the headphone jack. Wha about those folks who bought nice wired headphones or earbuds? Please keep the same energy for these other OEMs that everyone always seems to have for OnePlus. Other than that, good review. But the wireless charging thing is so irrelevant given everything else that OnePlus has on offer here

GREAT review! Always a fan of your work and reviews. Have the Open, now, and I am LOVING it! And, you're spot-on about its cameras - they're fantastic!

Great review there! I've recently changed to a OnePlus Open from a Pixel Fold (which I was pleased with) but this is on another planet. It resllys like a mini tablet when open, thanks to the lack of crease. Like yiu said, camera is very impressive. I tried the zoom module at 6x, then was just as impressed at 10x. Then I took a photo of a Robin at nearly 400mm full frame equivalent, it was still sharp with good detail. Certainly one of the best phones I've ever owned. Also, I must be one of the few without any wireless chargers. I do like the fast charging though.

A clean and crisp review!

I like OP because of how Oxygen OS works. I don’t know what OOS was like prior to the 10t and 10Pro. But OnePlus is my replacement to iPhone after Apple took the sim tray away from US customers.

OOS has always been a very good bridge between stock android, a sprinkle of IOS and some cool unique features. I've had OP since the 6T, 8, 10 pro and just ordered the Open. A very underrated OS

I appreciate this video. Well done.

I noticed that the vibration notifications are as strong as the samsung phone ones. I miss calls / texts because i dont feel the phone. Did you experience that? Way to fix it?

What's your thoughts on the camera on the Open compared to the iPhone 15 pro? Both in terms of pictures, as wells as videography?

The oppo find n3 seems to do the software post processing better than the oneplus open

I've been using a OP7Pro so the wireless charging thing isn't too big of an issue for me. Excited for the Open coming in the mail!

Been a One Plus user from the original One Plus phone but left them when they lost track of providing timely OS updates, security updates etc. I do think the one Plus open is a good phone but I have been bit too many times by them now. Also, I personally prefer a smaller form factor phone in Galaxy fold.

With wireless charging you're still tethered to a docking station for a couple of hours or more. Like who needs wireless charging when your phone is ready to go in 8 minutes. I think if we prioritize fast charging then in 10 years we will see our phone fully charge in less then a minute. Wireless charging wouldn't matter.

I played around with my mother's zfold 4 and realized how cool fold phones are after not wanting one for so long. I wasn't compelled to buy a fold phone until I saw the OnePlus Open is a thing now. I then decided to sell my ROG phone 7 to have money toward this phone and I'm glad. I also realized that I don't game on my phones as much as I thought I would so having a gaming centric phone is a bit pointless. I do have some smartphone specific gaming controllers so this new setup with the OnePlus open will be much better.

OnePlus screen is bigger by a lot. It's slightly shorter yes but very hard to tell. 8 had them both side by side they're almost the exact same height.

Waiting on mine... was expected yesterday... now 12/15🤯 Only thing I disagree with here is your comments on wireless charging. 1. Wireless charging hasn't changed much since its inception, the only real change is that Apple jumped on board and brought magsafe to the table. 2. Speeds are tragically slow 3. The device is basically unusable while charging, as soon as you pick it up you break the cycle. Years ago I thought it was great but as time went on my wireless chargers went in a drawer due to the convenience of wired charging. One Plus takes that convenience factor to a completely different level. I think we need to start letting go of the wireless narrative until the tech starts to catch-up; a 3+ hour charge just aint it!!

I disagree with saying everybody looking to buy the phone has a wireless charger. I bought it and have many phones with wireless chargers. I dont own one single wireless charger😂. I will take super vocc charging over wireless charging any day.

amazing foldable yes but the best no fold 5 is still the best but i will say the one plus open is the second best foldable the best 3 things the fold 5 offers is best software, samsung dex , and best s pen support, and features. what the one plus open offers faster charging, better front screen, 2800 nits but for some reason the fold 5 looks brighter

Whats funny and hilarious is that Google and Samsung claimed their hinge on the Google pixel fold on the z fold 4 and 5 have the best and strongest hinge but many customers have reported that their foldable phones have broken due to the hinge problems. I thought both Google and Samsung said their hinges were strong enough, but both companies have completely failed

The OnePlus Open serves all purposes. It's the best foldable phone out there now

I'm willing to bet 9 out of 10 people DO NOT have wireless chargers around because they're complete ass. I drive a moto with a 68 watt charger and it charges in like 10 minutes from halfway to full. Take a shower and it's charged. Why would I ever want a 15W wireless that would take an eternity. Only phone reviewers say wireless charging is important. Or if your phone charges so slow that 15w is "fast" for you.
