We like the slider because its a convenient piece of tactile functionality we can switch between without taking the phone out. ie in a movie theater, in a meeting, out with friends, going to bed, waking up. Having to navigate a bright screen when you need to change sound profiles isn't always convenient. In a world where everything is making everything digital having physical functionality is a luxury.

That drop was BRUTAL!

As always, excellent job Ben. Thanks for the great review. Compelling device for sure!

I've been holding out for the international version of the Honor Magic V2, but I may just go Oppo find N3/OnePlus instead. Thanks so much Ben! Keep up the great work, it's needed!

they are my two considerations too. on hardware i like the v2 better. its camera set is not as good but since i use an oppo x6 pro i have that covered. but then the open uses the same charger as the x6 pro and communicate with the x6 pro better. tough to make a decision.

@@OoWINDEXoO not all of them will. it is not worth the effort. it is like asking apple to release a mac that can run windows. you can do it but it is not as easy as you think. chinese cell phones have a different eco system. people use different set of apps and the os even hardward are tailored for those apps. just like chinese complain about samsung's software and samsung has given up on trying to improve, i think many chinese brands have given up on the west. it is shame. the west has fewer options and the lack of competition allow apple and samsung to be lazy. magic.v2 will have a global rom next year. i think it is much better than anything available now and judging by how samsung is doing i would guess the z fold 6 will be another so so product.

Ben any comparison for V2 mix fold 3 n oppo n3? If you dis pls give me d link.. Tq

Once again you bring the fastest reviews

Thanks a lot Ben!! Finally, a breath of fresh air, a break from the norm. Value for money... excellent cameras too .

good to see you again, OO/N3 is so far the best value in at least in NA market, (I mean it's vs Samsung and Google so) and yea the photo compared to X6pro doesn't seem bad, seen GSM Arena's shots and Robin from Wekihome's comparison, they did really good job at the camera. maybe except for motion photos? like Marques says, But so far this and MagicV2 (can do horizontal split) is one of 2 favs in the foldable market. I think Huawei and Xiaomi will catch up with 4th gen but it would be next year. (or they can do it with software update but no promises) OnePlus and Honor are only CN companies looking at global market with foldable for now so I appreciate what they are doing, and what they are bringing to the international market.

Love the videos Great job is always man!

Surely Open is the winner. Very very high tech ❤❤❤

Thanks man!! thank you. Looking forward to picking this up for the exact reasons you mentioned! Hardware for the money.

Probably my next device. Great review! Cheers from New Orleans

Great review man, subbed. Will you be able to do longer term follow-up? Concerned re possible dead pixels

great review. always enjoy your videos!

Excellent review as always!

Awesome review and thanks for the comparisons to the China-only foldables. Having only the Samsung Z Fold5 and Google Pixel Fold as the only book style foldables in the US has been such a bummer. Having another contender in the US market is huge...I've been super jealous of what folks in China have access to! I have had the last four generations of the Samsung Z Fold but I think I'm ready to give OnePlus a shot with the sweet trade in offer Ben described. Thanks!

Ben is always on point 🍻🤙🏼 great 2c u back in L. A.

Excellent review! That drop scared even me. My Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2 fell off my grill and outside screen shattered! I had to replace screen myself looking at Chinese videos since it's not sold here in the US. Thankfully it wasn't too hard and the screen was cheap. I am so glad OnePlus has brought this to the US. I have pre-ordered already. It was $1499 if ordered through OnePlus app and I traded in my iPhone 14 Pro Max plus I got $30 off for subscription to OnePlus. Honor really messed up waiting until next year to release V2 global! I have Vs global and was really hoping to get the V2 but they might've just lost out. (just kidding I'll probably buy it anyway as I'm a foldable fiend)

Very nice review. Thank you Ben!

Always very interesting, thank you ! I really tend to like the magic v2 more. And europe launch is not far away since i have been approched to become a beta tester ;)

Thanks for the review, Ben. 👍 Keep up.

Im glad you pointed out this is a reskinned Oppo all the way down to the software gestures and "new" features. Im glad we got more competition now (and maybe we'll get the n3 flip in the states under OP branding too). I wonder if youll find any tangible differences between the oppo n3 fold and OP open

THX for this video. Do you test the chinese Oppo N3 or which version?

Great review Ben, I'm more in line with you about that sider.

great review i ended up ordering it today traded in my iphone 14 pro max with everything out of pocket only 634. Free ear buds too

I love that it has a taskbar! It will surely make the device easier for productivity. All foldables/tablets should have that really...

Looks like a really solid option. Nice video too

Wow! Finally, a foldable smartphone I can actually use. Good job Oneplus 👏

So the larger sensors make a massive difference 😊🙌. The larger camera sensors are indisputably better than the smaller camera sensors. 🙏💯💪🏾👍🏾. That drop there is serious and it is a testament to foldables sturdiness. On the software side of things the ability to access the file app and the app bar while running other apps is the definition of fluidity and ease of use. Nothing is more satisfying to open the file app and to access all your photos and then drop them into a messaging app like messenger or WhatsApp.

Fantastic stuff, Oppo and One Plus outdid themselves

Keep it up, Ben. #mvp

I *so* want this! I've wanted a folding phone for a while now, but *really* thinking over it, recently I've come to the conclusion that if I were to replace my normal phone with a folding phone, it would *have* to have a normal sized screen, and a bonus of maybe being not that hefty or thick too. This seems to be a pretty good weight plus a good normal sized outer screen, plus I am in love with the hardware design! My only issue is still the lack of in-screen fingerprint readers. The Vivo X Fold had that, yet nobody else has copied it yet. The way I use my phone, those readers work perfectly, and having to switch to a side mounted reader feels like it would ruin the flow of using my phone every time I wanted to unlock it. Anyway... It's just the price of these things that's my biggest issue. For me, a folding screen would be an "extra feature" that's nice to have, and idk if I can justify $1,000 more just for that one feature. So if a foldable like this ever comes down in price, either because its a new one with cheaper specs, or a refurbished old one, I might pick it up. Until then, I can deal with slightly smaller videos on my phone screen lol I have a tablet, but it's usually more of a hassle to bring it out then anything. It doesn't mesh well into my daily workflow when I can just deal with a slightly smaller screen for a bit before I am able to get on my PC for full screen viewing. But if I had a foldable, I could actually watch things in a bigger screen while away from my PC! And in my case, I never have to multi-task in such a heavy way that it would require a bigger screen on the go. If I ever wanna be doing multiple things, again, I can just wait until I'm at my PC.

This is actually a folding phone I'm excited about. ❤

Awesome as always

Great review as always!

I think the major critisism on the fragility is the inner display cracking by itself, being protected when folded and having a flad outer display makes a lot of difference on making it resistant to drops or other damage. I've had the Fold 3 with the inner screen showing cracks by itself 10 months in, replaced it under warranty but sold it because I couldn't be thinking about it daily in case it happened again.

Great video I was going to skip this one but with that deal I could not pass on it. Like you I love the phones only made in China. I like helping people use them as best as they can here in the states but at the end of the day most people are not going to put in all the work that I do. Glad to have some competition here finally now I want MORE!! Great video can't wait to receive mine.

Finally excited for OnePlus again!

Hey Ben. Can you do a camera comparison with the one plus open fold vs pixel 8 pro? I know one is a fold and one is a candy bar.

Great content on this drop test channel, keep up the good work 😄

love your reviews

Please a full compare vid between one plus open and the honor v2

For you the best folding phone with Google apps it's OnePlus open or honor V2 or galaxy fold 5 or another? Can you tell me your opinion.

Hi nice review. Does it has horizon lock when recording video like motorola edge plus 2023?

Night time video's capability is great!

I'm really hoping you'll compare this with the honor v2

@Ben did you have any issues with the Oppo N1 and n2 screen protector peeling off like we have seen in Samsung Folds/Flips or any other reliability issues?

Thanks Ben!

Slider 1 motion No slider more motion to mute or vibrate. I believe that is why they prefer the slider. Great video!

Do you think they will release more cases for this phone? I preordered the black one and i was disappointed when i saw barely anything on amazon.

It sucks being in Canada and able to buy only ONE book style foldable (Thanks for nothing Pixel Fold) until now. Nice to have at least a choice between Samsung and Oneplus

Fantastic video bro

It's a great device and I know we was getting something great. I wish the major USA carriers would have it.

This is the foldable that is really going to tempt me into the foldable space. Came on sale here in Nz today but it’s $3000nzd.

9:35 in most camera sensors the photodiodes (the thing that actually captures light) and all its required wiring are on the same layer so some of the space are taken up by the wiring, while in a stacked sensor all the photodiodes are on one layer while the wiring are below it, which means you can cram in more photodiodes on the same layer and capture more light in the same surface area

So are the cameras on the Open and N3 exactly the same? I know it`s the same hardware, but in terms of image processing are they the same? Asking because only the Open will get a global release and I`ve seen N3 reviews where the cameras are amazing.

Best foldable smartphone ever 2023

From your review, would like to find out the difference between One Plus and Oppo N3. In Singapore, it's Oppo N3. Hope to find it out in term of software as I worry about compatibility issue with China ROM.

seems like a good device. I'd wait for oppo n3 with rounded corners.

True I been using Samsung foldables but OnePlus might be next for me the pixel fold is tempting

How does camera quality compare to oppo find x6 pro?

Like that unexpected drop test

Your review is even better than the live show cast today. They should get you to host the event next time but of course, you might not be as objective.

Really glad I saw your review of this phone first! Definitely looks like something that would work over here in the States. But I still really really miss Huawei . Old orange face was so naive to how many people were getting things taken away from them; and hurting unity.when they banned GMS services. I honestly think it was the biggest public relations under ever. ✌️

Great review and amazing foldable. I'm just sad that you seem to be excluding Huawei from all comparisons to other foldables. Is it just because it does not have built in GMS? It's easy enough to use gspace to get gms and I use it fine. How does the Oppo find N 3 compare camera wise, screen and battery wise to the mate x5? Thanks in advance

Hey Ben, love your videos. I want to go to a foldable but cant make the decision. In hk market now honor v2 is the cheapest at under hkd$10k. Oppo find n3 is going for around $11k. For the slimmer form factor and weight, would you think honor v2 is worth it, with software deficiencies over n3? i'm torn cause i love the feel of the v2 but the n3 software just feels much better.

Hi, Ben! Just wondering if you could help me out. I have been meaning to purchase this device but it seems hard since I am from the PH. I found one in Amazon but it doubles the price! Is there any better outlet to purchase this phone for someone like me who is living in the Philippines.

Ben how does the camera on the open compare to the Huawei mate x3?

How would you rate oppo software update/ oneplus i never used one?

I knew you dropped it. 😂 But it looks very interesting. Thanks for showing the OS features like Split screen.

OnePlus open Versus iphone 15 pro max which the best cam n videos?

Is your power button double tap gesture locked to the fineasy app? I cant change it to google pay. So frustrating!

Dang that fall. Good thing it doesn't have too many major damage.

Which do you prefer the Xiaomi fold 3 or the OnePlus open

Nice video! I, myself, prefer to the power button to be up higher else I keep hitting the power button when holding the phone.

Well, i think i found the perfect phone! Since I'm a total klutz at times, that drop it survived is EPIC!!

I need a foldable that is at least 8" when opened. Next year for sure, but I like the One Plus design. Wish they'll have one that's big like the Vivo X Fold 3.

If i get a Samsung fold5 256g for $1200 usd vs the oneplus open for $1624 usd. Which is a better choice

All though I agree with most of your comments why does every KZread reviewer keep saying the pixel fold doesn't have floating window? You just need to enable freeform window in developer options and it works great

If you were to compare Oneplus Open with Honor V2 in terms of camera and software, which one would you pick ? I think Honor V2 will go global.
