$ 1699.
No. /threadYeah, that’s a hard pass from me.
It’s a folding phone that looks to have the absolute best hardware of all the folding phones, and a very very smart big screen OS. That price seems fine compared to the other foldables? Reviews say it’s great too.
Friends don’t let friends buy OnePlus, but you’re not my friends so knock yourselves out.
OnePlus is dead to me after the 6…
The 6 was a beautiful phone, and IMO their last good phone. It lasted me up until this year, and to be honest, my new Pixel is missing features that I love from OP, like the screen gestures for skipping songs.
I wouldn’t trust them with another purchase again, though. I loved the 1 and 6, but never again.
Pretty much same boat, I had the one, two, three, and six. I’m on a pixel 7 now. I miss the alert slider and a good finger print scanner
Why not? I had a OnePlus One back in the day and I quite liked it. What happened since to taint its reputation?
The great Iphonization of the OS is my main issue.
It was supposed to be classic Android with a few extra features on top of it.
I had a OnePlus 3 and a OnePlus 7t I know I will not continue on OP.
I was buying this brand mostly for the vanilla like android. These days are over.
I’ll give FairPhone a go I think for the next device.
I am on the same boat. Had the op1/2 and have a 6t currently but now my display is broken and the battery is very bad. So I bought a fairphone 5 and am waiting for it’s arrival. :)
It’s basically an OPPO clone now. Oxygen OS is effectively ColorOS re-marketed. Unless you’re chill with Chinese phones I would stay far far away.
Even back then OnePlus was sketch as hell. Remember their “ladies, take a pretty selfie and win an OnePlus” campaign?
Misogyny and the tech industry, name a more iconic duo.
As someone that used to love OnePlus, what’s the more recent equivalent?
I felt like around the 3 or so, I could get a flagship-ish phone for a reasonable price. Is there anything like that now?
The Pixel is what I opted for after I bricked my last OP phone
I agree on the pixel comment. The pro is on the expensive side, but the 7a is most like the old OnePlus lineup imo. For 500 bucks or so you get a lot of phone. And the software is plain old android without much extra BS.
4/5 stars
The OnePlus Open brings what might be the best hardware on a foldable phone and enough clever software tricks to turn heads. It pairs top-end internals with some of OPPO’s careful trial-and-error to create a debut foldable phone that hardly feels like a first attempt. Add in a competitive asking price, and the OnePlus Open just might give other foldables a run for their money.
