The Open, however, isn’t a budget phone.
Rather, this is a full-on folding phone in the vein of Samsung’s Z Fold5.
The extra ounce of weight is also negligible.

Ultimately, the OnePlus Open is a phone I loved using for the weeks I carried it around.
Selfie lovers get a 20MP camera in tablet mode and a 32MP lens while in normal closed mode.
Compare that to the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s 12MP camera.

Selfies with the better camera never looked so good.
I could consistently charge to 100 percent in less than an hour, which changes the game for charging.
I never worried about getting too low since I could just top off the battery in mere minutes.

It’s great technology in service of how we actually use our phones.
If you require wireless charging, though, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
That said, a folding machine has a couple of hurdles to overcome in terms of usability.

The results are simply fantastic.
The reverse might even be coolersimply fold your mini-tablet in half and use it one-handed like a regular phone.
There’s a multitasking system built in, too, which makes the tablet mode even more attractive.

you might put up to three apps at once on your screen, just moving them around at will.
It’s a very nice system and, again, just works.
Heck, the latest Samsung Z Fold 5 starts at $1799, too.
