That drop was BRUTAL!

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.

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

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.

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 .

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!

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

Wie immer du machst tolle Videos!

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

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!

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.

Excellent review as always!

Love the videos Great job is always man!

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...

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

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.

Very nice review. Thank you Ben!

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)

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

Looks like a really solid option. Nice video too

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

great review. always enjoy your videos!

Fantastic stuff, Oppo and One Plus outdid themselves

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.

Keep it up, Ben. #mvp

You are the best reviewer for accidentally running a drop test lol

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

Awesome as always

love your reviews

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

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.

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

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

Thanks Ben!

Finally excited for OnePlus again!

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

Great review as always!

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

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

Great Sharing, Thank You!

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.

Night time video's capability is great!

Fantastic video bro

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. ✌️

睇咗你channel好多年, 之前影響佐敦尖沙咀響街度見過你, 今次第一次留言因為你嗰句Be prepared... you can see the actual imperfections of my skin真係超搞笑LOL! 多謝你多年來客觀嘅分享同評價, 大部分其他youtubers同reviewers分享都係收咗錢, 其實佢哋收錢都冇所謂, 但太偏頗太不客觀, 你的頻道是清泉, 請你繼續努力多多分享吧, 謝謝你Ben哥!

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

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

great review & concur with your American insight

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

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

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

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

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

This is the one to make me get a foldable

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.

My new favorite techtuber... Texting from pixel fold (;

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.

Watching this review again on my OnePlus Open 😅 For my first foldable I'm really liking it and thinking I might never be able to go back to a regular slab phone. I'm only hoping that Samsung revamps the Zfold 6 or 7 with a wider outer screen and maybe camera hardware from the S ultra. If they do I will buy it because I really like OneUI. But until they do I'm going to be enjoying the OnePlus Open. The haptics are really good.

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

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.

Like that unexpected drop test

Alamak! Now I shall remember not to keep my Fold in my short pants when riding hahaha. Great review as always! OnePlus, always looking forward to their phones.

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

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

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

Marques Browle ya tiene pixeles muertos en su unidad con tres semanas de uso.

The photos it takes look really good in my opinion. I don't mind the over exposure.

I love my Xiaomi mix fold 3.....i have gboard and it splits the keyboard in horizontal mode...only problem i have is whatsapp freezes when i said voice notes and have to restart the device on occasions... wireless charging is a must for me....alsotook me 20 man hours to pair my galaxy watch 6 classic..but it did it after trying again and again...if only it was as thin and light as the honor...but again.. wireless charging 😊

Best foldable smartphone ever 2023

Can u please do a comparison between one plus open Vs honor V2 foldable including software experience

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

OnePlus (oppo) seriously seems to have done an amazing job with this! And upgraded camera's!!!! And that drop ooofff xD

I started using one plus in 2018 and now im on OnePlus 10t and i want tye fold .that phone isa beast and tye drop confirms it oneplus is tge best ohones out you ask me

That camera is mighty fine

Poor you for that dropping but it can proof somethings with the phone at teast...anyway, big thanks for your great review 😊

Wow, the side took a beating!!! I would have to get a new one. I couldn't live with that damage

All though I agree with most of your comments why does every KZfaq 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

yo big bro ben, anyway we can get a comparison video of the oneplus open against the mix fold 3?

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.

Looks like a really good value foldable. Like I think the tecno flip is a good value flip feom hk. This ticks all the boxes, so glad oneplus is bringing oppo hardware worldwide, this is much better than nothing from carl pei. Like poco is bringing xiaomi hardware to many markets. Can’t be bothered with huawei, even though the mate60pp is impressive, it is limited run, the yield on the silicon wafer is low, more like a showpiece. This is well priced even the telephoto and the crops are great, believe samsung wants to do something like that, high res 5x, crop to get 10x or 20x.

I like the Xiaomi mix fold 3 form factor the most and hardware.

still with my Mixfold3 , had too deboat all the chinese app,, have google play. not going to switch to the Open but Trade-in Deal is a great deal for the phone

I'm one of the 1st generation Fold supporters, I was hoping Samsung change their Fold design since fronts screen hardly able to use any app front screen, this time I can fully get back foldable thanks to Oppo and One Plus make front screen usable

Need a full comparison vs N3

This may be my first foldable. Lol I'd like to see a camera comparison against the Xiaomi 13 Ultra just for fun

hey man do you reckon this is a good first foldable to buy? I’ve never owned a foldable phone and thought this might be a good entry for me

OnePlus nailed it... I knew they would. They're back after the wonderful OP11 release

@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?

Hi I'm watching your video 😊

Not needing to use night mode with the 3x zoom lens is just fantastic. The horizontal and vertical split screen with the multitasking feature is a must-have because the horizontal split screen is ideal when viewing KZfaq content. 😎💯💪🏾👍🏾 The lack of rigidity when opening the foldable at the widest angle is unacceptable it should be rigid at the widest angle or point. Those pessimist who are devaluing foldables sturdiness is just being bias and they probably have a sinister agenda to stop foldables production from China.

Still see honor v2 is the king of foldable phones till now....

Wow this is a really excellent review being packed with real world information 😮👍🙂

Honor is really dropping the ball. They shouldn't had an international version of the magic v2. But now I'm about to get the Open

Bro I bought oppo fond n2 after I watched your video. Now I cane back for another one.

They had a golden opportunity here to really hammer the competition but really missed without wireless charging (on a 1700 phone that is mandatory) stylus support and a 5x optical zoom to at least match the pixel. They settled a little bit in these cases

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.
