I don’t want to, but I’m thinking about switching to FF since Edge and Chrome have been having freezing issues for the past six months or so.

Native ad blocking via extension would definitely help nudge me over. Especially since I’m considering getting a OnePlus Open and a web browser would be a vital part of the Foldable experience.

I was about to say something similar.

I have an Apple Watch Series 7. Average battery life is ~30 hours. Less if it runs on LTE instead of Bluetooth.

That watch is more expensive than the Galaxy Watch 4. At launch and second hand.

Now you can get a good/mint condition used Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm LTE for around ~$150 on Swappa. The same tier Apple Watch Series 7 on Swappa goes for ~$225 on Swappa.

And the Apple Watch doesn’t even have blood pressure like the Watch 4 does. Granted, you have to do some sideloading to get it working in the States until FDA clears it, but the hardware is still there.

Price will be the deciding factor between this and a Motorola Edge Plus 2013 for me.

OnePlus is ticking all the right boxes for me to invest in my first foldable. If they land the price (ideally the $1,399.99 or less that the Pixel Fold was rumored to be), it’s a guaranteed buy for me.

From what I’ve read, OnePlus updates are slower than Samsung but faster than Motorola.

I agree about wanting the phone.

While the earlier renders were considerably sleeker, I’m fine with the added bulkiness look considering that they went with Samsung screens last minute, and it looks like it will have either a Time-of-Flight (ToF) and/or a LiDAR sensor in the camera.

A Samsung display could put this device in Samsung/Apple tier territory real quick if they price it right and at least match Samsung on software updates.

The Open is quickly becoming what the Pixel Fold should have been.

Compared to Google, I think the SOC that will make it stand apart from the Pixel Fold. The Tensor 2 chip was still based on Exynos, so having the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will put it up against Samsung almost immediately.

Compared to Samsung, it will likely come down to a boring iteration with relatively dependable QC vs a device pushing the boundaries of the genre with potentially less dependable QC.

I do think the Open could become the Foldable for ROM junkies. I think that market will prefer the SD over the Tensor.

I’m really leaning into buying a OnePlus Open when they come out, depending on price.

I currently have an iPhone 12 Pro Max, which is starting to act like a three-year-old phone.

With the price hikes, the iPhone 15 Pro Max could be within $100-$200 of the Open, if OnePlus decides to price the Open closer to the Oppo Find N2 rather than the Samsung Galaxy Fold.

So… $1,199 for an iPhone 15 Pro Max with an outdated screen, still no touchID, and no mute switch, or…

Possibly ~ $1,099 - $1,399 for a OnePlus Open for what will be the largest foldable on the market with the latest hinge tech, fingerprint scanner, and a mute switch.

I’ll likely pick up a cheap Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Classic LTE to use until the Watch6 Classic comes down in price next year.
