I dont own 1plus phone but i am telling what , i am really sastified with my pixel fold,much compatible ,easier and simple to use.

Thanks for another great video Shayne. I am 100% with you......I have both devices (I have technology ho syndrome) and I am torn as well. One thing that is a game chnager for me personally is the Dual SIM capability of the One Plus vs the Fold. I carry two devices one for work and of course my own and being able to plop both SIM's in the Open when it suits me is an option that might keep me off the Fold.....but the form factor and the Googly features are so great. I am blessed to be able to have both and these are first world problems just wanted to share and tell you, once again you are spot on.

Broo i have both and my iPhone 14 pro max but when i started using the OnePlus open I don't even know that the others exist I'm in love with my OnePlus open👌

that 3x camera on OnePlus Open like a magic, the photosensitivity ,the contrast relationship between ambient light and photographed object level just like it has been taken from my Nikon DSLR camera . the speaker on OnePlus open is amazing too , that's the top 2 reason I might prefer OnePlus open to Pixel and and it super portable too I even feel lighter than my s23 ultra with case, love this phone !!

I'm super happy with my pixel fold. It checks all my boxes. You are right. Battery has gotten so much better on this thing. Only issue I have with the pixel is that it has this delay when you open it. Black screen appears and kinda hangs around there for about three to five seconds. Other than that, it's fantastic. This is the perfect size phone.

I love my pixel fold because it opens in landscape. Also love that videos fit the outer screen and inner screen when in tent mode almost perfectly. Sold Galaxy Fold 5 for Pixel fold and only regret is not doing it sooner.

This is what's happening to me with my pixel fold versus my Pixel 8 Pro. I love the versatility of the fold. It's the main device I use in my car because I have a car holder for it. But I can't go too many days without using my Pixel 8 Pro because it has the latest and the greatest AI features. And the display experience is so much better than the closed front experience on the fold. I have also swapped between the pixel watch and the Samsung Galaxy watch 4 classic. I was always that dude that said he would never be a two phone person but here we are. And now I'm even considering purchasing the OnePlus open... Somebody stop me. This is getting out of hand... Lol

I was thrilled with my Pixel Fold, until I bought the Open. As much as I love the Pure android experience, I'll be selling the Pixel. Amongst the other things I like about the Open, I've fallen in love with the camera system, and photos it produces.

Only big thing you missed is multitasking on each. That topic should always be discussed. I have the open right now.

I love my OnePlus Open but software wise I'm a huge fan of OneUI. The thing about the Zfold is that I don't really like that narrow outer display. I MUCH prefer a normal aspect ratio so I can use the outer display just like a normal slab unless I want that bigger display. So I'm really excited to see what Samsung does with the Zfold 6. There's a rumor that Samsung is going with a more Pixel like passport design. And I've never used the Pixel fold but I don't think I will be mad if that's what they do.

I was trading my Pixel Fold for the OnePlus but know that I have both I decided to keep both phones. My Pixel Fold when video chat out in direct sunlight the screen goes black after a few minutes but I prefer the aspect ratio of the Pixel.

I stated this in a past comment, every seance the 14 beta I have had no problem in bright sunlight. I have went out of my way to max the amount of sun on the Pixel Fold and it has stood up to the sun almost as good as my Galaxy Ultra 23. The cameras are not as good as the Ultra 23 but it come close. The portrait mode with some tweaking is very good but not as good as my Ultra.

Absolutely the same dilemma I have, although it is between Samsung Fold 5 and Pixel Fold... The aspect ratio and the fact that it opens to landscape draws me back to Pixel Fold although weight, more aesthetic bezels, S Pen and OneUI make me trying from time to time getting back to Samsung... Now on Pixel Fold again 😊

Also love Amazfit. I've been using the GTR models for a few years. I've had the GTR 3 for a year and a half and still go on average 3 weeks without charging it.

I love the open but I'm too far into the Samsung ecosystem to leave my fold 4. I just love their OS. Plus i still love the narrow outer screen.

Experiencing this same thing lol. Its how I found your video lol. I still cant choose, and switch daily. Currently on pixel....but I really feel it has signal issues. Bars are SO much lower on this than my one plus.

You can do floating windows on the pixel fold if you turn it on in the developer settings

Also You need a Zip Lock bag for the OnePlus Open if it pours down rain ☔🌧️ . No wireless charging. Luxury Cars come with Wireless Charging pads now.

I traded my pixel fold for the OnePlus open. I am a huge pixel fan but honestly the OnePlus open makes the pixel fold feel like a beta product to me.

Just love this fantistic phone, even I watched the durablity pass video which is channel here a crazy guy conducted the test. He claim that other fold phones did not pass like this Open. I dicided to buy . Thank you

This is my current dilemma 😫 I was so sure I wouldn't miss the Pixel Fold that I did it as a trade in for the OnePlus Open. Received it on Tuesday and even though I absolutely love it so far I am missing the size of the Pixel Fold more than I imagined. I have until the 30th to mail in the Pixel Fold and I'm honestly torn on what to do. I can return the Open and keep the Fold, send the Fold in to complete the trade and keep the Open, or keep both. Which keeping both seems crazy lol 🤷🏻

On the Pixel Fold, go into the developer options and find the contrast setting and set it to high. No issues for those that like to use their phone outside.

Ive been researching all the foldables for a while now trying to decide and its so hard! I thought i was 100% set on the 1+ open, and now after seeing the aspect ratio and the polish on the fold I’m not really sure. I’m thinking that I should get the full now lol

I have the pixel fold and just ordered the oneplus open yesterday. Love the fold but it just seems a bit too heavy for me and the pixel fold does get a little buggy sometimes.

the Pixel reminds me of the iphone X, it had that border, steel look and feel, and premium feel with the rounded edges...

Have been doing the same thing since I got the Open. I finally sucked it up and sold my Open. The form-factor and Pixel experience SLIGHTLY beat out the better display brightness, speakers and processor on the Open.

Yes I have the same issue with the s23 ultra

Got pixel fold and can't complain. Battery is excellent as a heavy user. Only thing I don't like is I can't use 5g on battery saver so I have to toggle when I need speed. I love the cover screen too ulike the garbage on Samsung folds.

10:25 how didnyounget that AI grammar checker on your keyboard? I dont see that feature in my Pixel 7 Pro settings.

For me it’s 100% the Pixel Fold. I’ve had the flip 3&4, the Fold 4&5 and the Oppo Find N2 and none of these phones gave me the excitement of the Pixel Fold. The form factor of the Pixel Fold and the absolute fun of using it for me is a no brainer. Even though I’m a diehard iPhone fan since day 1 I’ve put my 15 Pro Max on the back burner 😊

I'm loving my OnePlus Open. I almost got a pixel fold but decided to wait to see what the OnePlus phone was going to be like. I am not disappointed. I absolutely love open canvas. It fits my needs perfectly. Also the speakers sound awesome and the photos are amazing so far. As far as the size to me, it is the perfect Goldilocks compromise.

TBH, I haven’t turned my pixel fold on in months! Once I got the Z Fold5, its just such a better foldable! THEN I got the OnePlus Open and now I’m not using my Z Fold5 as much! It’s a vicious cycle lol

I feel your pain. I'm in the same situation and just added the pixel 8 pro to complicate things....2 folds and the 8 pro ...I keep switching them around and I know that there's something wrong with me 😂

Your analysis of your likes and dislikes of these two devices is very helpful. I appreciate your honest opinions.

Thanks for sharing this. All the reasons you gave in the OnePlus advantage list are probably more important for me than the Pixel advantages. My only concern with OnePlus is the support should something go wrong. I can't imagine getting it replaced or repaired from China is an easy/fast process.

I have had, or have extensively used the Z Fold 3 to 5, but not the One Plus. I also have the Pixel Fold. The Pixel Fold is slightly less capable than the Z Fold line, but has the superior folded screen size as compared to the nearly useless Z Fold folded screen size. I would, and have already chosen the Pixel Fold over the Z Fold based on the superior folded screen size and will live with the slightly less capable other features.If the One Plus has the same size folded screen as the Z Fold, my choice here would be the Pixel Fold over the One Plus.

Currently have the OnePlus Open, but previously owned the Pixel Fold. I love both and I'm a bit torn as to whether I keep the Open or sell / swap back to the Fold or just sell the Open, forget about Foldable Androids for a while and stick to my main device, the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Absolute first world problems!

This is the very reason i didn't buy the one plus open because i knew i would miss my pixel fold. Wo i got the honor v purse because i wanted another from factor. The pixel fold got me covered with book style from factor

I'm daily driving the open. I love the pixel fold and z fold 5 but one plus did something special. I'll probably go back to the others at some point for a day or two but I just can't see myself full time leaving the open.

I have both. I surely do miss Screen Call feature and hold for me on the Pixel Fold.

Couldn't agree more re your comments about the Pixel Fold. I think I'm going back to it from the OnePlus Open...it also just doesn't feel as secure in rhe hand, and I can't get a good case screen protector option to work with the Open.

I'm still rocking the duo 2. About to go back to the OG duo because my screens are cracked to sh** and unresponsive

I'm having the same problem. I had the fold 5 put it against the OP Open and for me the OP Open is the winner. Then I just ordered a Pixel Fold for Black Friday. God help me. 😅

Love your videos Shane 🤓 Watching this on a Google Pixel Fold.

I'm right there with you. I switch between both. They both have their respective attributes that work well for me. I honestly love them both. I pretty much do a week to week switch. I just wish the Pixel was lighter. But other than that I love them both. I just ordered the OnePlus watch to use with my open!

I’ve noticed this too. My primary complaint with the pf was the darkness.. too dark when outside on the screen ands camera. Last 2 weeks or so…i don’t see that any longer

Thanks for this helpful review! - I have now abandoned my Pixel 8 Pro. The operation is so much less convenient compared to the Surface Duo 2. The great camera of the P8P and the great display (which is far too narrow for me) don't make up for that. So I'm most likely to give the Pixel Fold 2 a try.

I am in the same boat as you, Shane. Mind you, I also have my Oppo Find N and Duo 2.

The fact that people say a phone has the weight of a brick 😂, maybe because i have done construction work all my life, the pixel fold does not feel heavy at all, i even put a bulkier metal case on mind which i love.

Bro i love your videos i live vicariously through you lol

Ive never owned a pixel phone and just purchased my very first oneplus in the open and i can definitely say i have been amazed from the first min i turned this little beauty on 😍 its a fantastic device in all senses of the meaning. Charging is great. Screens are amazing. Multitasking simply unbelievable. cameras are unreal. Software is very good but can be improved with updates. Build quality is beautiful. Battery life is incredible. No complaints at all👍

Man i have the same issue its driving me crazy.I love them and hate to Choose

Not sure if it is mentioned in the video as I haven't finished watching it , but multiple people are posting online pics of their OnePlus open screen damaged . Not even a month in of having it . Crazy stuff if you spend all that money for it to break

I love my Pixel Fold can't use my Z Fold 3 on the shelf now after 2 years old. Love the Pixel software. The Pixel feels the best built very solid phone.

I prefer the front screen (size) of the Oneplus Open. The Pixel Fold is too short for mee.

I hate the aspect ratio of the pixel fold and it has more bezels than a 90s tube TV, looks goofy when folded and unfolded

Can anybody comment on any phone signal strength issues they’ve had (if at all) with the Fold?. I had a Pixel 6 which was abysmal when it came to holding a phone signal Like the form factor of the Fold but would be problematical if I can’t get a decent signal to make/hold a call

It sounds like you want to like the Pixel more, but the OnePlus has just enough differences to make it just as compelling. I was in s similar boat deciding on the OnePlus or Fold 5.. My Fold 4 started giving me some issues that unfortunately are forcing me to upgrade. While I would have loved to try the OnePlus, Samsung's deals are too good to pass up. I need consistency too and while I don't think I would not like the OnePlus (the camera bump and no native stylus are my 2 biggest objections), I know the Fold 5 will do everything I need it to do and then some over my Fold 4. I got the Fold 5, Buds 2 pro, monthly protection, and the case with the slimmer S-pen still cheaper than the OnePlus by about $50-$100.

Better design, fast charging, brilliant screen, better multi-tasking. Good battery life. Definitely one plus open

Honestly the fact you can't have 5 apps across on the OP Open app grid is what's holding me back.

Traded my Fold for the Open. I just did not care for the weight. Loved the form factor of Fold, but the weight was just too much. It wears on you after a while. Plus, the Open is just better in almost every other way. I do miss wireless charging, though!!

Maybe you can talk to the CEO of Oneplus and ask if they can make a Oneplus open with the screenratio of the Pixel fold? Maybe you can back that up with a twitter poll about the preferred screen ratio between the Oneplus Open and the Pixel fold. My vote would be the screen ratio of the Pixel fold. To me the screen ratio of the Pixel fold looks perfect.

Pls suggest best launcher for OnePlus open with icon settings and wallpaper..etc please do a video .in India people are getting crazy over OnePlus open ..so hope you reach them 🍁🇮🇳🙏🏻

I have the Samsung z fold5 and just ordered the OP Open, but now watching these videos looking at the Pixel fold... Looking at Swappa since I can't bring myself to paying full price for the Pixel fold... even at $400 off right now still think that is too much... so I'm waiting for the OP Open to be delivered... which gives me plenty of time to re-think the issue...

Daily driving which $1400-$1700 phone? Seems like only certain people experience this problem and unfortunately not a normal user issue!! It would be great to have this issue though!! I appreciate the breakdown!!

I'm that way about the Fold and the Pixel 8 Pro.

I just got the Amazfit Balance and I love it.

My loyalty is with Samsung, you can't beat that softwear, not to mention they litterally invented the folding phone industry !

don’t own the one plus open but wish my pixel fold hinge snapped open like one

Waiting for my open to arrive early December, then I'll be having the same debate with myself.

Literally the same dilemma and all the same reasons. It has become a real problem over here!!! Gadget issues are real. Smh....

I’m a tech geek 😂 so I actually own all 3 and if you count Microsoft then all 4. I actually carry both phones for separate things like one for family and one for friends. They all bring elements that I like and I need in my busy life right now. Making decisions between these phones is very hard and I’ve been known to swap out phones almost weekly. I’ve finally slowed down on that and for the most part settled into the phones I want to use but every now and then I might switch out my sim. I guess I like these phones a bit much 😂😂.

I prefer the Open because of the excellent battery life, charging speed, and less reflective inner display.

Between the two? Bro the OnePlus Open would have made me sell that Pixel Fold 🤣 Open's got stylus compatibility which; for me, makes that an automatic winner over any foldable that lacks a stylus... ...but outside of that, the SD8G2 is not only way more capable in high end games, but opens the possibility up to run hundreds of thousands of 32bit apps/games that Tensor G2 natively can't touch at all... and I know we'll forever disagree on this, but opening into portrait is simply supported by more. Also means that when i am landscape gaming with a snap-on controller, I'm doing so without obscuring the volume rocker or anything. I have my own beefs with the Open's canvas, but I definitely prefer it over Pixel Fold's multitasking. I do anticipate that the hole punch would annoy me though. I'd have to have a 100% guarantee that I can force every app/game to wrap around the punch hole to daily drive OnePlus Open.

Love the videos but I do want to advise that you seem to have a slight delay between the audio and the video. You can tell mainly on the shots where you are on camera speaking. Words spoken do not match up with your lip movements.

I'm laughing here Shane. I go thru this type of thing for years. I finally gave up and chose the iPhone 15 pro Max. I did my SD2. I tried to sell my PF. I just couldn't give it up. With the iPhone currently esim only, going back and forth with phones is a major shit storm. But I turn the pf on several times a week, take it with me on my daily walks. I'm not bothered by weight or bezels. After the duo, my lines in the sand have been.. Issue device when closed, camera, communication with my loved ones. I love Apple play, FaceTime and Apple watch. Pixel watch is acceptable Google meet is ok. Never got into Google pay. So I'm struggling here. 🤷

I don't have this "problem" , so I suppose I should be happy that the Pixel Fold isn't available in my country... I got the OnePlus Open on black friday, should arrive in a few days.

Hi Shane! Love your videos: You present your thoughts so well and do your best to present them in an unbiased manner. Something I don't believe you're mentioned is how the OnePlus Open is to use with Google Wallet. Have you tried using it? Did it work? Have you had any problems with it? Any details we should know about? Thanks, and keep doing what you do best!

simple, stick with the surface duo 2!!

Ugh....still going through the same thing with the same devices.....i think that I've decided to sell the OPO though....or 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️.....if the screen of the PFold was less reflective, like the OPO, it would be much easier to decide.

I really want the fold, it is priced out of my range, but i want it:) also, AI button??? open my pixel 7 pro, no AI button. of course, another US only thing. or is it a Fold only thing?

Thick bezel, can't fold straight, chunky. The pixel fold is just like an unpolished 1st gen product. No where to be compared with the OnePlus open.

.awesome me want to wait for the next Pixel Fold

Hey Shayne, I'm about to buy one of these used and I just wanted to ask if you or anybody reading this. I am asking about the call quality or the signal strength. Is it about as good as any other phone nowadays or does it drop the cell phone signal or a Wi-Fi signal? I heard somebody comment it on one of these KZfaq videos that the person thought the signal strength wasn't that good... I'm just curious

As a fan of Windows Duo 1st generation, I feel pixel fold is more closer to duo… But I see pixel fold is expensive and again I might buy it not for being 80% well convinced, but because Windows surface duo is 1st generation and becomes outdated

I own both and like you I am struggling to pick one over the other. I prefer the typing experience on the OnePlus but I just feel that Pixel is a better built phone from a hardware point of view. I need to decide as I will have to sell one of them at some point. 😂

How did you pixel fold look like leather

What has better graphics and video quality ?

I'm sticking with the fold google features and eco system just better

Damn that's a tough choice.

I'm still daily driving my DUO2. LOL.... So far, so good.

Can you tell me which one handles the Wyze cameras better, the text notifcations and how about a phone call , that would be sweet. I just watched 8 reviews an not one mentions text, phone , wyze, peleton or even newton Mail come on people , speak to us power users.

Easy win for the N3/Open for me. Pixel Fold is way too heavy, charging is way too slow, software is worse, cameras are worse, battery is worse, the aspect ratio is worse, and he inner screen looks several years older. Pixel does nothing better. N3 is the first foldable I didn't immediately want to return. Had a Z Fold 5 too.

For the floating app on the pixel, go to developer option, towards the bottom there's an option to activate floating windows on the pixel.

Amazfit is absolutely incredible!! The battery life is out of this world!

Shane, did you use the One Plus Switch app, to transfer phone info?

Hi, which brown cover you use

Amazfit watches are great!!

How do you like verticon icon pack? It does theme well on one plus open.
