The OnePlus Open is too good and exactly what I've been waiting for in a foldable phone. What do you guys think?
No wireless charge & maybe no spen support🤧
Does it have HDMI or video out at least?
@AlexRubio should have video out because of usb c 3.1 port
@@modestman6753 I personally don't care about the spen but I do want wireless charging!
@@modestman6753 I hope so at least I can play my emulators in my screen unlike the OnePlus 11 which didn't have that.
I have to say that all the reviewers just use a foldable for a couple of weeks and move on, but they are such a new way to use a phone it's only after months you really appreciate what you can do and how it will fit in your life. I know they all like to hate the thin screen on the Fold 5 but if you use it for a few months it is just so lovely to have a smaller easy to reach screen. It also makes it so lovely to hold in your hand when folded up. I was so worried it would be a problem before I got the fold 5 but I simply love it. I don't want to have a wide phone in my pocket or hand any more. Just my opinion anyway.
So true about front screen
True 💯 add on the software and features
100% true. I use the cover screen alot but I also find myself not even using my other phone cause I love the slim screen. I hope samsung doesn't change it.
I'm glad others share the same opinion that I do about the fold 5.
I appreciate fold'5s narrow screen.. your value is what speaks to you.. Samsungs my brand
I am surprised you barely mention one plus open new split screen and multitasking UI, which is what we have been waiting for on foldables. It makes you want to use the phone more…. Most of the comparison is focused on cameras.
you should have shown off the multitasking feature more, it'd be the stand out feature of the device as it's quite unique and creative
OnePlus came out swing hard with this fold. I'm actually going to order one next week. They won me over this time and I'm very impressed
You'll love it, it's badass
How are you liking it?
Given everyone takes their screens from Samsung, the leaks of the "fold 6" aka "s24 ultra fold" are kinda spot on - regular size front screen. I sold my fold 4 cause I couldn't bear the travesty of what the front screen is. My s23 ultra is perhaps the best phone in the world rn next to ip15pm. S24u coming soon, but the Open is THE best foldable rn.
@@ancientslav4863 really curious how the OnePlus 12 turns out. Apparently they are using a BOE display this year. 4,500 nits (but only in certain situations in a small area) and supposedly works even when the screen is wet.
What stand are you using at the end of the video 11:31? Thanks.
I've owned every Samsung Fold. When I bought my OPPO Find N2...I never touched my Fold 5 again. But because of the Chinese ROM, I was super excited about the OnePlus Open and bought it within minutes of the release ending. I hate the form factor of the Fold but that's me. Not everyone agrees. That's the great thing about companies releasing their own formula. Something for everyone.
What did you notice that one plus fold is better than fold5 ?
How's your experience so far? I just ordered the Open to replace my ZFold4.
Thanks for the review. I have a fold 4 and wanted to update to a 5 but it wasn't a big enough jump. After this review I'll wait til the fold 6
I like that the outer screen mimics inner screen. Its easier on muscle memory and quick peripheral vision to just go right to the click you want to make without thinking.
Ya thats true! I also notice I dont have to restart apps because of it.
thinking is hard for you huh?
Galaxy gives you a choice to mirror or not.
@@CastroJordan Exactly what I was going to say. Too bad Matt didn't know that for this comparison.
Galaxy handling of inner vs outter apps is ridiculous and not intuitive at all.
I was torn between the Open, Fold 5, or iPhone Pro. Thank you for this informative video. Your video really leveled the Opens' camera. Other video had it destroying everything that folds. Dex and the S-Pen are used almost daily by me for work. I subscribed to your videos and keep up the great work.
Thank you so much! I’m glad I could help and welcome to the fam
@@MatthewMoniz @11:45 you are incorrect. The OnePlus CAN use a stylus. It is not noted anywhere that specifically it cannot use one. However, the Oppo Find N3 is the exact same hardware and it says that it CAN use one. There are videos of people using the Oppo pen on the OnePlus Open. (The S-pen and the OnePlus stylo will not work, only the Oppo pen which you can get online easily.
Just a correction, the Open does have a stylus...its an optional extra
@@jamiehall8272 I found out too late. I went with the Fold 5. Although the Oppo Stylus seems difficult to get a hold of.
1:38 so much hate for the narrow outer screen of the Z Fold 5, but as someone who doesn't have large hands, it is a godsend compared to a lot of other devices. Coming from a pixel 6, I haven't been this excited for a phone since the HTC M7 with BoomSound speakers
Maybe that's why I really like this phone lol.
May I ask what wallpaper that is on the OnePlus? Thank you.
One plus open supports a stylus on the outside and inner screen now. Im glad you were honest on the camera comparison.
Buena comparativa! Los dos están bien. Pero prefiero el Fold 5 por ecosistema Samsung, Buds Pro, Watch 6, Dex, S-pen, Fotografía, Software y la pantalla exterior, para las cosas básicas, me es suficiente. Un saludo desde Barcelona Spain.
I’m confused like when u open up to bigger display will the aspect ratio of videos changes like tab ?? Or it will be surrounded by black edges ? Is aspect ratio is modifiable
Do you get VoLTE on the OP in Canada? I couldn't get it to work on my OP11
The honor magic vs2 looks to be the perfect foldable phone in my opinion, only drawback is having to wait for a global launch.
Is just the best
I have the one plus open and the honor magic v and I agree if honor had a global release I would buy it over any foldable
I enjoy my samsung fold for 3 reasons, software, ecosystem, and size. The UI is just packed full of useful features, the Samsung ecosystem is the closest i can get to the Apple ecosystem and the more narrow outer screen is what i prefer.
@hellsfavoritesaltyberserke4724 Says someone who never used a Samsung fold Buddy i moved from fold 3 to 4 and now 5 and this phone has absolutely no comparison
@@hellsfavoritesaltyberserke4724incorrect. One UI is innovative
Is there an "always on" function on the oneplus open? I had that feature two phones ago but not on my current device and I miss it big style.
You pointed out everything I was thinking off in regards to the OnePlus, great video
I really need to upgrade my phone and since I've had 4 Galaxy phones in a row, I was about to go with the Fold 5. The Open has really blown me away though. The hardware and software look very fleshed out. I've never had a Oneplus phone but I think I've gotta give them a shot with this one
I'm thinking of trading in my S3U for it honestly, while it has been a great phone I want to give foldable a try and I remember having a good enough experience back when I had the OnePlus 7 pro with the pop camera (rip Cool feature)
Have you got a OnePlus phone now? U better do, because if u had 4 galaxy phones in a row, u should try something new! And choosing OnePlus is the best choice ! Saying from experience ;)
I had oneplus 5 once, and that was the best android phone i ever had. Switched to Samsung just because oneplus stopped their official release here.
If my goal is to use the outer display, I'll just buy a slab phone. I LOVE how compact the Fold5 is.
Fair point
I agree seems if i buy the one plus i wouldn't mind to open it because i would do everything in the outer display
@@Sesar707Very well said
Yep, tried pixel fold and realized I prefer the skinny profile
Valid point..wonder why I should buy a fold to use outer screen
Review I was waiting for , thanks 👍
What stand were you using to hold the Fold 5 on your desk?
having the camera shown on the screen has never been a bad thing for me personally. i've never liked under screen cameras and even when OP did the pop out camera on the OP7 i felt like that was a better design.
Ya its never bothered me either and I rather a proper camera then a 4MP one that doesn't take great video.
@@MatthewMoniz why do you need multiple cameras that do the same thing. I've taken interviews and more on the underscreen camera and everyone says they can see me fine, and I look way better than most people connecting with webcams and PCs. I forget its even there until I need to use it.
Love the privacy of OP7, wish all phones had hide away cameras.
@@CrunchyTire i mean theres a difference between people seeing you fine and you seeing the video how you want to
@smurf6595 fold 5 underdisplay camera is fine for video conferencing
I love the form factor of the z fold my personal opinion
What is the phone stand used in the video that seemed to auto open and close ?
I want know where do u find the mobile stand thats so cool which is automatic..plz share the link..i want to buy that mobile stand
If there's anything I've learned over the years, is that the hardware is only as good as it's software. If OnePlus can refine their software a bit, i think it can be a better alternative to Samsung, but right now it looks like it'll be a "just ok" phone. We'll have to see.
Software has been great so far. Honestly the only thing that currently needs refinement is the camera
@MatthewMoniz Gotcha! Yeah, Samsung's camera's are pretty solid, I'm sure OnePlus will be able to pull through, especially considering the camera specs
@@MatthewMoniz How come SOFTWARE is great? I owned and sold the OnePlus 11 because even their SECURITY UPDATE always DELAYED for 2-3 months, then their SOFTWARE UPDATE always have TONS of BUGS. I was a fanboy of OnePlus, but never again… I will choose any day the flagship phones of APPLE, GOOGLE & SAMSUNG, as they update their flagship phones ONCE A MONTH, for years to come!
@@cliffm8846 it's most likely that you're doing something wrong because I never had those problems. I don't know anyone that has either. I've had more problems with my iphone
I find OnePlus software way better, less bloatware for sure and faster
I really like my Fold 5 and don't think i would give it up for the Open
I have a question please! Can we visualize two pages on the oneplus open, i mean exactly as if I read a book. because on the Samsung fold we can't have that
Hi. Can the oneplus open be used with an external display like a dex for samsung? Thanks!
No
I always enjoy how objective your reviews are (and thanks for including call quality!). I really like that OnePlus Open, and if I were in the market for a foldable it would be my choice (even with the lack of Dex support). That is, until you review an even better foldable next week. 😁
Thanks Bryan I appreciate it! haha no foldables next week but lots more next year.
Its full of opinions that most folding fans would disagree with. but ok.
OBJECTIVE? He was PAID FOR by ONEPLUS, like most KZheadr that were reviewing it now, period.
The stylus connection option is there in the setup menu. The trouble is the stylus is available only in China. Check with the OPPO distributor whether they have bothered to import together or not. Cheers!
My boy MM always bringing great reviews with that Canadian touch....great work. Put my pre-order in for the Open this moring.
Thanks man I appreciate it!
Do we get recording in one plus open? Without announcement of “this call is now being recorded”?
I think the z fold 5 has a perfect front screen because it actually makes me wana open it seem like all other folds have a bigger screen n to seem i would never open it but thats my opinion
If that's actually true then you should never need any folding phone... if you can do what you would be doing easier on one single regular size screen... then why are you even looking at foldable phones?
Although better design but without Dex and S Pen I would still opt for my Fold 5. Game changer
Meh. I have the Fold since launch, never used Dex. It's a nice gimmick, but there's no reason to use it in 2023. The use case being : you absolutely need a screen bigger than the Fold's one, you don't have a tablet nor laptop, you have a display sitting alone in your house, you have a mouse and keyboard on that orphan display. I tried it once and never used it again, and I don't see any Samsung user using dex. Same for the spen. I loved it on the Galaxy Note. So I bought it with my Fold. I ended up not carrying it because the cases are bulky and there's no place to put them inside the phone. You use thel at first, but after a while you just rock the phone without it. It's just a pain in the butt. On the other end, having a better front display is something you'll use ALL the time. The utility isn't even close
@@TheOxiongarden different user. Got most of my work done on Dex on my 65". Loving it
@@azuree31 I'm interested then. What kind of work do you do with dex ? Sorry to bother you but you're the first person I met that uses it
@@TheOxiongarden mostly with documents ie Microsoft 365
@@azuree31 I find the response time not good enough to be enjoyable, there's a little bit of lag. Plus the definition seems below my native 4k tv output. The OS is limited compared to a PC or Macbook. I can't used it in any place like a laptop. I get you, but for me it's not worth the hassle for a subpar experience. I'd rather have a good show on my Oled tv and working on the couch at the same time with a good laptop. Not for me. I get you tho, thanks for the explanation my friend. It's appreciated
Great and informative review. Thank you. I think I know what I want, a Open size like Fold. Hopefully that will be Fold 6.
What's the stand at 11:32? That looks awesome! I've been curious about Dex since Samsung tablets have this as well.
At least for me, The fold 5 outside screen is perfect! And how it fits in the pocket... very very comfortable!
Personally love the narrow front display. Just super convenient and comfortable to use. You want something huge… just open it. The only thing Samsung would have to do to perfect the fold would be to bring the Ultra cameras to it.
Same but then they'll wouldn't be no need to upgrade again
What they need is an ultra and FE version
When watching videos when opened, does the video size is the same as watching when closed on landscape?
My country in SEA region there’s tons foldable phone to choose from Xiaomi mix fold 3, Honor magic vs2, oppo find N3, Huawei mate X3, vivo x fold 2 & Samsung z fold 5. One Ive use right now is honor magic vs2 along side with oppo find x7 ultra.
Which one do you suggest out of oneplus and z5
I own a z fold 5 i wish it would have looked like this with a built in pen. Only reason i choose samsung is because of the software. Samsung is way better optimized and has dex, and a pen water resistant. Other then that im not interested in the oneplus software.
Samsung software has more features but I don't think they are better optimized. Coming from S22 Ultra to the half price OnePlus 11. The software experience is definitely an upgrade.
I have used OPPO for a while, and for me, the software and UI are the best; ColorOS is underrated because OPPO doesn't exist in the US.
@@andyH_EnglandColorOS is bloody awful
@@manu4ever249Bro my s22u u battery was horrible and my s23u started good but a few months in getting less than 6 hrs sot. So inconsistent.
Every Fold they come out these sponsor dudes day it's better for people to find out months down the line it is nowhere near as good. Honor are in their 3rd version this year and the 2 was supposed to be a h best according to these guys. The OnePlus gravy train is back.😂
Thank you for an unbiased review. I have the Z Fold 5 and couldn't be happier. I actually appreciate the slimmer outer screen. I don't have any issues using it to send a text or scroll through my feed. The larger inner screen was literally made to handle everything else. Your points about app optimization and camera quality, not too mention Samsung's more developed ecosystem, (I have the watch, buds and tablet plus I've e been a Note user since the first Note), the S Pen stylus support, DeX, prolonged software support and the insane incentives offered when u pre-order, ( I was given $1,000 off the Fold 5 for my S22 Ultra), are all reasons the Fold 5 is a much better all around phone, in my humble opinion.
It's not unbiased. He clearly said some things out of personal business despite the opposite being true lol
@@VeritasEtAequitas isn't "truth" always relative?
@@VeritasEtAequitas it seemed very samsung bias if im honest compared to other side by sides ive seen...
Very happy with my open(note)
@@buddhistelder4731 wait till it needs repairing...good luck with that :-)
excellent review. wondering where is your phone stand from?
any problems with inner screen with lines?? i have oneplus open its 1 day old i've searched online for other people that have oneplus open they have 2 lines on there inner screen
I absolutely love my Fold5, been a fold user for years. However... This design is getting extremely boring. I'm glad that there is competition, hopefully it'll spark some new innovation on the Samsung side. Gonna skip out on the OnePlus (for now)... Reasons: first gen device, no wireless charging, not ipx8, and software limitations. But that form factor is sexy.
It's actualy 3rd gen of Oppo (OnePlus' sister company)
I personally love the size of cover screen on my fold 5. Never understood the hate. Gives me vibes of vertu times. The moment they make it wider, I am off from fold. Literally the only phone (plus some Sony midranges) that is comfortable to hold in hand.
I agree, the Fold is so comfortable to hold one handed, texting for example is so much easier to reach all the letters on the keyboard.
Agreeed!! It just feels so comfortable. I’d probably never really unfold it if I had one
Hold on! What stand was that on the desk for the phone which automatically opened and closed?
Do u guys think they beed making the screen so small to open the door to make the fold ultra with the bigger outer display and the s pen silo like they do with the s series
Man this OnePlus Open looks amazing, and I'm jealous as an iPhone user. My only concern right now is the durability, especially after Mr. Mobile's first unit had condensation inside the camera housing, and MKBHD's unit developed dead pixels for seemingly no reason in a couple weeks.
Definately Open is the leader and winner in foldable phone world
One plus one is the best foldable. U either buy it or not. Some phones do get faulty but that does not mean all the phones are faulty the same
Compare to Honor Magic V2
Slim design for a reason. Don't you think samsung tried. I got my fold 5 two weeks ago. Won't be going back to iphone. Also samsungs slim design is better when opened. Youll see when watching videos or content.
As a Z Fold 5 owner who came from a Note 20 Ultra 5G, let me say definitively that the smaller size of the phone when its folded and the smaller cover screen are both reasons to buy the phone and are NOT hindrances in anyway. And don't be fooled by the battery, it will last the average person easily all day. Glad to see competition in the folding phone arena, but larger cover screens are not more productive or better and kind of, in my opinion, defeat the purpose of having a fold-able phone. If I need a larger screen, I'll unfold the phone. Great comparison though.
I came from, and still have, an S23 ultra and feel the same way. If I pick up the old phone it's shocking how I was able to use it for everything.
It ain't much to do with size as much as the aspect ratio. The oneplus feels like a regular phone folded than the Z fold 5 with the taller aspect ratio.
Awesome video, but i gotta say i don't understand the complaints about the fold4 screen being to small to actually do anything. How? I have no problem with it, do i wish it was as big as a normal display? Yeah sure, but i can still text just fine on it. Is it because im using a different keyboard and the Samsung one sucks for this screen size? I use SwiftKey and I have no issues typing
Been using Sammys Fold since the 2, one thing i can say is if your liking the OnePlus, wait until the 2nd version......1st versions always seem to have bugs, the 2nd version of the Fold was so much better than the first.
I really, really hope Sammy is paying attention. I love the Fold 5 and honestly have gotten used to the form factor and it's actually great to use. But man, make it wider, stick the pen inside, and you've got a winner. The Open's issues (while I actually really like the form factor) and misses don't make me want to switch...
I couldn't care less about the pen personally, I'd much prefer that they slim it down a bit instead or maybe even increase the battery capacity. But the outer screen width is definitely an issue right now with the fold 5
They do that I wont buy the Folds anymore.
Make it a little wider and upgrade the cameras then it will be a game changer. PLZ give us the ultra camera specs!!
Yeah the Samsung front screen is not as big but all in all i would rather have the fold 5 then the one plus. Also one plus used Oppo's foldable it's not really a first gen product from one plus by any means
Yup its more like their 3rd since its an OPPO design
Hey Matt, what's the anime you were playing when doing the inner screen comparison?
That's not Anime, its a trailer for Overwatch
I'm annoyed by that narrow screen on the Fold, but love the One Ui. If there was OnePlus Open on OneUi I would buy one
Awesome comparison. I learned that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 camera is as phenomenal as the OnePlus Open despite how the latter is marketed by having better sensors and colorimetry. Nonetheless, I gave the credit to OnePlus for how well designed the Open is.
software update will sort this, oneplus have already said one is being worked on...to improve the cameras
You can say one plus has learned from samsung and the feedback from millions of users, hence their design improvements. One thing that favours Samsung is, its folds are tried and tested. The quality factor and reliability of the folds Is proven. I'm writing this on my Z fold 3.
How is Samsung’s support? Do you still get frequent updates for the fold 3?
so are these...bearing in mind oneplus is the european arm of OPPO who have been doing foldables for around 3-4 years
Prefer the coverscreen of the fold over the one plus. Its easier to use with a one hand . Also the inside screen is too squarish on the one plus than the fold.... Nice video....
Great video, really informative. thanks to this im fully decided to go with the oneplus
Glad I could help! Let me know how you like it when you get the phone in
INFORMATIVE? Sound like a PAID REVIEW by OnePlus!
The Open is soooo dope. such a good phone
I had enough experience with my previous Fold 4. I think this is the correct time for me to try another foldable phone. This Oneplus/Oppo came out at the right time, allowing me to adopt a new system.
How have you found it?
You totally overlooked the multi screen infinity feature as if it shares the same as Samsung. And the speakers, fast charge, etc
I liked this device so much❤❤. Camera is also not bad. Most wow factor is broader outer display, better inside selfie cam which makes my zoom calls much better and software is amazing man also the speaker। I am going to purchase this in exchange of S23 for sure.
OnePlus fold seems to be the best foldable out there.
100%
I am going to trade my s23 ultra for this phone. This is a game changer with the outter display being wider and being able text better and better on the go. Hopefully samsung next year wont be lazy. 😂
Lol I'm sure they'll make it wider next year. They would be nuts not too
They are lazy and seling old hardware to their custommers. Old cameras. No changes. I hate samsung. Micro sd card slot should be in everyone
Whats the point making the outer screen bigger? Might as well buy a normal phone
@@irdibasha391 what's the point? What's the point of having a phone if it doesn't have a camera. We shouldnt desire to have innovating new tech 👊🏻
This might be a hot take, but I like the idea that the smaller cover display on the Z Fold5 encourages you to open up the phone and use the bigger screen. You've paid for it, so why wouldn't you want to use it as much as you possibly can?
I've had samsungs since the late 90s early 2000s always was a note series then ultra had the fold 2 hated the front screen, broke it and never looked back was waiting to see what oneplus did and I happily am jumping ship already pre-ordered should be here by the end of the month can't wait!!
I think the Samsung found a working formula so they are just trying to polish it. I don’t think they are lazy they just are focusing on the smaller things for a seamless experience
I disagree it’s not workable it’s actually the #1 reason most people trade it ASAP
Yeah I think people have it confused, I understand wanting a bigger outer screen I'm typing this from my fold 5 right now but I think it was just a design choice because the fun is in actually using the phone unfolded. I upgraded to this from the z fold 2 and it's an improvement in every way. I played around with the Google pixel before making my choice and I t honestly didn't feel as good even with the wider outside screen.
There is only one problem people have with z fold. People want to 19:9 aspect ratio cover display.
@katinasoutherland7693 well I daily a fold 5 coming from an iPhone 13pro and I can tell the front screen size is perfect.
Samsung just needs to make the damn thing a little wider and put some good cameras on it make a silo for the pen if possible and nothing will come close
If Samsung doesn't fix up and make the Fold 6 have this samenform factor then im moving to OnePlus. Been waiting a long time for a folding phone with good Software. Samsung finally has competition.
8:34 you forgot to mention the OnePlus Open has a new way to multitask / interact with multiple apps
Holly-molly OnePlus Open sound great! Nice first video without boxy-box on the back of the phone. It's looks really great, interesting what would be the price of it! Thanks for the video!
The price is in the video :P
Foldables are not my thing but it's nice to see more options for those who like them. Kind of surprising to see the OP shooting 4k video with the front facing camera.
It was never truly my thing either. I used the fOld for awhile but the cover display ruined it for me. The OnePlus Open changes that.
You've made me have second thoughts about getting the Z Fold 5, not because I prefer the OnePlus, but it's the size of the Z Fold 5 😂. I was playing around with the Fold in the shop and I liked how the phone is slim when it's folded, how it feels in my hands, because I don't want a huge phone like the S23 Ultra, but you've made me think about how "unproductive" the slimmer screen is, I might end up waiting for the S24 plus
haha sorry about that! But ya, I will say the Fold 5 does feel smaller and easier to hold due to how narrow it is. But i'd personally go OnePlus Open if I had to pick between the two. S24 Plus should be awesome!
Might eventually hold out till the S24 comes out, hoping the rumours are true that it will be out earlier. I don't even have a foldable yet and I'm already paranoid of ruining the inside screen
@@MatthewMonizHey! To further this. I would really appreciate if you could let me know what video is like side by side with bit devices. I've been trying to find the dimensions online and am wondering if the same video played on KZhead will look bigger or smaller on the oneplus open. Apparently it's longest edge isn't as big as samsungs. Therefore it's a bigger screen but for media consumption might actually display a smaller image? Would really appreciate the info! Thanks
I've had the Fold since the 3, and it's amazing. All of these brands can release what they want, but the Fold quality will always win. The Fold 6 is going to be the King as it'll have a new design which does increase the outside screen to be a normal size and will be mirrored to the design of the S24 Ultra. Look that up before buying anything, and I'd recommend waiting for that if you can.
@@MatthewMoniz HOW MUCH ONEPLUS PAID YOU? Samsung CHOSE to have the outer screen SMALLER so we can easily hold it, then IF we need a much bigger screen, just UNFOLD IT! It is super DUMB to have a big outside screen, even before you will open it, period.
How does the colour effect the weight?
Would like to hear the comparison to multiverse variant Oppo Find N3 because I heard the operating OS is also different. 11:45 - Thats odd, cause the variant Oppo Find N3 has a stylus setting.
so does the oneplus open....its the same phone, just a slightly different OS although even that is pretty much the same
OnePlus just single-handedly improved the foldable category overall. That is one great piece of tech there!
Is it true the Oneplus Open is not compatible with Canada's 5G network?
Which has better software? I own z fold 4 and Im really considering switching to oneplus open. But stilk not sure if the software and other apps are optimized
Overall Samsung definitely has the software advantage
As a Samsung fan, I agree with that the Folds cover display is probably the worst out of all of the foldables. If Samsung ever decides to change it up, I might consider buying a foldable cause I'm kinda stuck with Samsungs phones. I prefer One UI THAT much over any other android skin that I do not want to move away from their devices
💯 But the lack of wireless charging is a deal breaker
@@cooliipie why? 80w fast charging is superb as a compromise
Z fold 5 design is still the best. The outer screen is on point. You can use it with one hand, unlike any other fold phone. Yes, it's narrow, but you'll get the use of it.
I found it terrible and suspect if Samsung had a display like the OnePlus, it would have sold 2-3X more Fold 5s. But for financial reasons, they decided to keep narrow, which is the only fold like that. They can rely on hardcore Samsung fans to stay loyal. When the Fold 6 arrives with the wider display, and you try it, you will quickly realise how bad Samsung's design was.
@amfrepo nah don't choke. Accept the fact. One Plus what? Lol
@@powgee22what fact idiot?
if you find the op open too wide for one hand use then none of the flagship slab phone works for you. when folded it is the same as an iphone pro.
@qilu2004 That's the review of how exactly it was. But these paid tech reviews are insane lol
6:31 you can see that the crease in oneplus open is just spread out wider then reduce the depth. While ethe Fold 5 has a narrower crease but deeper. I prefer the cleanliness of narrow crease but less deep crease is better for touch and reflection
question for canadians.. im using FIDO mobile... when i buy a oneplus open is it compatible?
Great review/comparison. I agree; the main reason I ditched the Galaxy Fold 4 was the aspect ratio of the front display. Otherwise, it was above average, though still handicapped by not having premium cameras and also the relatively small battery. The front display was a major deal-breaker. I can live with 60Hz or 1080p, but that front aspect ratio sucked beyond any known sucking thing. I hoped the Fold 5 would rectify that design flaw, but Samsung went one more year with that design. Every other fold has a better front display, so the Fold 5 is last for me. The OnePlus went to number one for us in the West.
Nice joke 😂😅😂
all these tech influencers ranting and raving about this phone still won't use it at their daily driver 💀
Except Mr. Mobile
They all got their bags
Is there a stylus for it?
Are you able to compare it to the Honor Magic V2? Software questions aside, it looks even better. The OnePlus is much thicker. Thanks.
I dont have a honor v2 here to compare it too they don't sell it here in Canada unfortunately
Yeah they say it's the best foldable out there, but reaches the market in 2024 for many countries like UK and Europe
People that complain about the fold 5 outer screen being too narrow have completely missed the point of a big foldable phone. When closed it's supposed to be perfectly one hand friendly, thin, narrow, feel like a small phone in your pocket, use for quick stuff while you are walking without worrying too much about having to grip it. When you need a bigger screen, you open the phone. And when you do that, you get a perfect productivity-focused aspect ratio. Perfect for browsing the web, for PDF reading and signing, etc. Having a big "normal" outer screen will just make it so that it is not one handable anymore, harder to grip while on the go, bigger in the pocket and when you open it you get a widescreen display: something that's less multitasking friendly and less work (PDF etc) friendly, and more entertainment focused. Even when you have them side by side in the video you can clearly see how much more compact and "small phone vibes" the Fold5 gives. And that's what makes it amazing: it's a huge screen that feels like a very small portable phone when closed. That's the magic of it. I don't want an S23 Ultra that opens to two S23 Ultras. I want a small pocketeable one handed compact phone that opens into a huge canvas + pen when needed. Seeing as all other brands are trying the "normal big two handed phone that can open up to get even bigger" idea I actually hope that Samsung sticks with their idea of a "work tablet that fits in your pocket and you can use it on the go as a very small and portable work machine. Big when you need it, super small when you don't". Also any phone that comes out without S-Pen or similar support is an instant skip for me. As an ex-Note user, S-Pen is a must for me.
I get what you mean however being narrow has its weaknesses. It's not just the factor of being narrow, but it also plays in the functionality. For example, aspect ratio and some app functionality. The borders that you get when watching a KZhead video. It's a better form factor on the Open. So it's not entirely missing the point of having a normal out of display. There are reasons to have a normal outer display. Different people have different preferences, although it would be great to have pen support.
Before I bought the Z FOLD 5, I played around for days (PIXEL FOLD, that’s almost the same as OnePlus Open), and after 1 week I returned it to Best Buy and replaced it with FOLD 5. If I want a BIG FRONT DISPLAY, I will just buy the iPhone 15 Pro Max or Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra or Pixel 8 Pro. It’s super DUMB to have a HUGE OUTER SCREEN for a FOLDABLE, as it defeats the PURPOSE of it, It’s like a FLIP 5 with BIG SCREEN, so why we have to buy those, if we still looking for BIG SLAB PHONE?!?
@@cliffm8846 OK hear me out, for the most part, The Pixel Fold and One Plus Open are different in certain ways. Watch Mr. Whosetheboss's video to see my point on why it makes more sense. The point of the larger outside display is to not have compromises. Having a big outside display should not defeat the purpose of the larger display. As long as the inside is bigger than the outside. The purpose of it is to have and utilize the large inside display you can not do the same things on the outside similar to a normal slab phone as you can on the larger inside as long as the weight is down. If I'm not mistaken, it weighs less than the Fold 5. It should be fine, the only thing I would consider at this point is to add pen support same pen as the One Plus tablet. People want a device that does not compromise the outside, or the aspect ratio and does not hinder the weight because this is still the weight of a premium slab phone which is great. I think One Plus is on track as long as they polish the software.
@@micahjohnson9184 All those KZheadrs, especially those outside USA was PAID FOR by OnePlus, that’s why they have almost the same SCRIPTS. And IF you have the Pixel Fold (and I do), it has almost the same way the OnePlus Open did to their outside screen hat DEFEATS THE PURPOSE of FOLDING PHONES. ALL REGULAR USERS (like normal people, not those tech nerds and KZheadrs) wants a FOLD & FLIP phones that are SMALL when FOLDED and only big when you UNFOLDED/OPEN them. SAMSUNG is a CONGLOMERATE that almost own the whole country of South Korea and have hundreds of thousands employees around the world, so whatever me and you thinking they ALREADY KNOW, but they already SURVEYED MAJORITY of people in this planet, by getting the DATA from stores, wireless carriers, etc………….. to what MOST people wants from a phone (not the 1% tech nerds), period.
@@micahjohnson9184 You said it WEIGH LESS, but it’s BULKY inside your pants/shorts, and again, that DEFEATS THE PURPOSE of what they want to ACHIEVE. SAMSUNG know the MARKET more than ANY KZheadrs or Tech nerds, as they have LIVE DATA from stores, wireless carrier, etc…………. that sells phones, tablets, laptops, etc….. every day. (We can have our OPINION, but they have FACTS)
Personally i like the skinnier display of the galaxy, feels more one handable
Until u try to type not to mention watching video looks silly
It's meant for one handed use. Unless you have the biggest hands you can type on the outer display.
Hey Mat, nice video! But I've noticed you're getting so thin, are you doing ok?
I disagree with you saying that the Z Fold 5 is an inferior experience. The smaller cover display is more ergonomic and feels better in the hand, and it encourages you to use the inner display which is still better on the Samsung coupled with the software. The purpose of a foldable is to use the inner display. So, if you are more interested in a larger outer display, just go get yourself a regular smartphone, that's all I can say to all the KZheadrs who are very keen on the larger outer display aspect.
The purpose of a folding phone is not to just use the inner display. You might as well just carry an iPad with you instead of a phone. The whole point of a folding phone is to have a tablet to go with your phone. The outer screen is the phone that most people interact with on a daily basis to do phone things. The inner screen is the tablet that gets used when you need a bigger display for watching content, reading or multitasking. The Fold 5 is great but the front screen being so skinny is not great except for making the phone feel smaller to carry in your hand.
You're the type of person to make a bug sound like it's a feature lol, encourages to use the inner display... It saddens me there are humans with such horrible reasoning capabilities.
@@MatthewMonizIt is to make a compact "ipad"
SAMSUNG is a MULTI BILLION COMPANY with THOUSANDS of employees all over the world that they also ASKED & SURVEYED before they launch any of their products. I know, because I worked with them for years, and they have an amazing people especially in South Korea. I bought the Z FOLD 5, even after I played around my brother Pixel Fold, and it DEFEATS THE PURPOSE of what FOLDABLE PHONES means. People still marvel when I open the Z FOLD 5, than when my brother open his Pixel Fold ( the same logic of OnePlus Open, that have wide outside screen). The people reaction when they see Z FOLD 5 (after you opened it) was inspiring, as it has smaller and compact front screen BUT when you open it becomes huge, but with Pixel Fold and OnePlus Open it’s like NOTHING CHANGE as the perception of the eyes that it is already BIG! It’s like when my wife open her FLIP 5, people still saying WOW, but if you will make the screen outside BIG, that wow factor will be gone, period.
@MatthewMoniz for sure. I will carry an iPad next time. To add to what I said earlier, I am an Honor V2 foldable user and while everyone raves about how thin and light and like a normal phone it is, I will tell you that the experience on Samsung is way better and I wish I had bought that instead of the Honor V2 foldable. Having just a wide aspect ratio isn't everything a foldable needs to have when the rest of the experience just falls off.
OnePlus has superior split screen multitasking over the Samsung! That means Samsung's software advantage is OvEr!
Samsung is more stable less buggy
Does it have 2 imei for 2 different phone lines?
I don't know I like the small screen on the fold. I like how when it's folded it feels small in my hand
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is Killer & Incredible.💪😎😍❤💙💜💚❤
the original vs copy cat 😅
