OnePlus Open: Will it change your mind about foldable smartphones? | Review

The OnePlus Open changed Gizmodo writer Kyle Barr's mind about foldables. Here's his video review of OnePlus’ first foldable, which is still expensive and has manufacturing problems, but it has the smallest crease of any squashable screen yet.

It comes in two flavors, a glass-backed Emerald Dusk Green and a vegan leather Voyager Black starting at $1,700. I had the phone for a week’s time before it went up for preorder. And since then, the Open made me realize foldables’ potential. More simply, my major gripe with squashable screens was the crease—that enormous gully in the middle of the interior display that made watching content or using apps far more annoying than they needed to be. OnePlus has come the closest any company has to making a hinge and screen that fulfill the promise of the 2-in-1 smartphone/tablet.

OnePlus, owned by the Chinese manufacturer Oppo, is the company’s first stateside attempt at the burgeoning foldable market. Oppo has its own flip-style foldable called the Find N2 and now the Find N3 foldable. Instead, OnePlus reportedly delayed its first big push into squashable phones and positioned itself to take on the market at the tail end of the year. What they’ve come out with has its issues—including some concerning manufacturing defects—but I’d wager that OnePlus’ screen design is what other companies will try and copy going into next year.
