With the release of the eagerly awaited OnePlus Open, the company will significantly impact the rapidly accelerating Android foldable phone revolution.

The OnePlus Open, although not being called "fold," adopts the same form factor for folding phones as rival models such as Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Google's Pixel Fold.

The OnePlus Open deliberately undercuts its competitors with an alluring price tag of $1699/£1599/1799 Euros, offering a reasonably priced entry into the foldable smartphone market.

The smartphone had already flooded the market, and the early buyers took advantage of a special offer that included a free OnePlus Buds 2 as an additional incentive.

Powerhouse Features of the New OnePlus Open

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered OnePlus Open is poised to revolutionize the foldable smartphone market. Its state-of-the-art construction ensures flawless connectivity right out of the box with compatibility for Wi-Fi 7 and 5G.

With a robust configuration that includes 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM, it has enough room for your digital world.

With the 67W SuperVooc charging, charging is quick and easy-the phone can go from 100% charged to empty in just 42 minutes. Splash resistance is also guaranteed by the IPX4 grade, adding a layer of durability. Face unlock makes it easy to unlock the device.

It works on both panels, which are larger 7.82-inch inner and 6.3-inch outer AMOLEDs with 120Hz refresh rates.

The OnePlus Open has powerful specs but still has a thin profile. It is 11.7 mm thick when folded, and when unfurled, it is only 5.8 mm. Its 239g weight finds a compromise between mobility and functionality.

With two front cameras for breathtaking pictures and three Hasselblad-enhanced cameras, the camera arrangement is equally impressive.

Although the OnePlus Open's feature-rich design is impressive, there is a noticeable downside in the shape of a prominent camera hump. This large, eye-catching protrusion, which looks like an integrated pop-socket, takes up a good amount of the back panel and declares your commitment to mobile photography.

But it presents problems in terms of ergonomics and use, mainly when the gadget is not in a case.

The prominent camera hump remains visible even with the provided case in place. Some customers may find this design decision unappealing if they value a flush and smooth back panel. But still, the design is exceptional.

The Best Camera of OnePlus so Far

The most excellent camera the company has ever made is found on the OnePlus Open, and it's visible in a large circular module on the rear.

The camera's performance is exceptional, even though the big size of the module compromises comfort and aesthetics. With less processing, the primary 48 MP Sony Lytia sensor produces beautiful, natural images and performs exceptionally well in well-lit environments.

The camera's power is enhanced by the 48 MP ultrawide and a periscope zoom lens with 3x optical zoom. While there is room for improvement in consistency and low-light performance, the OnePlus Open takes second place in the Android camera market, competing with top players.

Even with its 120x hybrid zoom, it outperforms conventional zoom lenses. This phone is one of the greats that are competing in the latest upgrades; get this phone here at OnePlus.
