Although OnePlus has a perfectly alright foldable phone in the market, one can’t deny that both Samsung and Google seem to have better options for the public. But in quite a weird way, this is also proof that foldable phones are now an acceptable variety of phones.
Incidentally, this is something the company has been doing with smartphones for quite some years now- bringing out a little less good than the competition available, but also for a lot less money. But this seems to be quite relative- as the price of the phone is $1,700 in theory, although the online store of the company would allow one to trade any phone in any sort of condition to get at least $200 off that starting price.
OnePlus Has Unveiled Its First Foldable Phone – OnePlus Open
If we were to look at the OnePlus Open as a foldable for $1,500, the standards look pretty fine. As it stands, the OnePlus Open also provides a couple of really nice displays, along with impressive-looking hardware, as well as camera specs, along a bunch of other multitasking features- which could be comparable to the equivalents produced by Google and Samsung, both of which start at a hefty price of $1,800.
But, one needs to understand that this discount does come with a few compromises, basic missing features, as well as a physical quirk that can get quite irritating. Although there are a few problematic bits about the OnePlus Open, the spec sheet doesn’t seem to be one of them. The phone boasts a 6.31-inch outer display, along with a 10-120 Hz refresh rate. It also has a 7.82-inch inner display, along with a 1-120 Hz refresh rate. The foldable phone has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, 16GB RAM, 512 GB storage, as well as a 4,805 mAh battery.
