OnePlus Open: still the foldable to beat on how it feels in the hand
The lightest-feeling big foldable, with the least distracting crease, and it turns up at aggressive discounts now. Our score: 8 / 10 It got the fundamentals right The OnePlus Open nailed the things that matter on a foldable: a bright, low-crease inner display, a cover screen at normal phone proportions so you barely need to open it, and a hinge that folds completely flat. Where it sits now Newer models have overtaken it on chip and cameras, but on ergonomics and screen quality it still holds up, and the price has fallen a long way. If you want a big foldable and do not need the latest silicon, it is a bargain. The good and the bad What works Excellent, low-crease inner display Genuinely usable cover screen Folds flat, feels light What doesn’t Older chip Software support shorter than Samsung or Google Camera no longer class-leading Who it’s for Buy it if you want a big-screen foldable that feels great, at a discount. Skip it if you want the newest chip and the longest update runway. Alternatives worth a look Galaxy Z Fold8, newer, wider, IP-rated, more expensive. The verdict: Aging on the spec sheet, still lovely in the hand, and cheap. A smart secondhand-market pick. Sources GSMArena specifications
