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    So… $1,199 for an iPhone 15 Pro Max with an outdated screen, still no touchID, and no mute switch, or…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