OnePlus just launched its very first foldable. How does it stack up against the Pixel Fold, which is also Google's first entry into the foldable market?
The foldable smartphone market is still very niche, but it has been gaining steam in recent years. OnePlus has just joined the fray with the new OnePlus Open, but it faces a lot of competition from Samsung, as well as from the new Google Pixel Fold.
The OnePlus Open comes in two colors: Emerald Dusk and Voyager Black. The Emerald Green is the iconic OnePlus color that is always reserved for its flagship series, and it has a matte-frosted glass back that shimmers in certain lighting and at specific angles. Voyager Black is more understated by having a rear cover in vegan leather.
On the back, you’ll find the camera bar module that has become a classic Pixel feature for the past several years, although the Pixel Fold’s camera bar is isolated to the back glass and doesn’t extend into the frame. And unlike the OnePlus Open, the Pixel Fold only comes in two rather boring colors: Obsidian and Porcelain .Winner: OnePlus Open
But the drawback of this is that you cannot prop the OnePlus Open up on a flat surface past a 90-degree right angle without it just being fully open because there is no firmness to the hinge. Even if you have it open slightly at an acute angle, it doesn’t take a lot of effort for it to open up flat if you hold it between your fingers and just swing it back and forth a bit.
Once you open up the OnePlus Open, you’ll have a 7.82-inch Flexi-fluid AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 2,800 nits peak brightness, 1.07 billion colors, and 426 ppi at a 2440 x 2268 resolution. The inner screen also has a TPU layer that protects it from physical impact, and there’s an antireflective screen protector on the top layer, which protects the foldable display from everyday wear and tear and also prevents glare.
On the inside of the Open, you will find a 20MP selfie camera, and there’s a 32MP selfie camera on the cover. These are certainly impressive specs for the Open in terms of cameras. Both phones also let you take high-quality selfies by using the rear cameras instead of the selfie ones. If you want good photos without much effort, then go with the Pixel Fold. But if you prefer better overall specs and more zoom capabilities, then go with the OnePlus Open. A lot of this comes down to personal preference, so we’re calling it a tie.OnePlus Open vs.
It’s also important to note that, like other Pixel phones, the Pixel Fold tends to get warm when you are doing more resource-intensive tasks. This also happened with the Google Pixel 7 and Google Pixel 7 Pro, which also use the Tensor G2.OnePlus Open vs. Google Pixel Fold: battery and charging OnePlus packed an impressive 4,805mAh battery into the OnePlus Open. Combine it with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, and you’ll get pretty good power efficiency to help the phone last at least a full day.
