Every time I've reviewed a OnePlus phone, it always turns out the same: great specs, but a flawed device in ways that keeps it from reaching superstar status. That pattern changes with the OnePlus Open, the company’s first attempt at a foldable phone. The OnePlus Open should be a wakeup call for everyone.
After spending nearly three weeks capturing portrait photos with the OnePlus Open's Hasselblad cameras and becoming acquainted with its Open Canvas multi-tasking, I’ve come to appreciate how it achieves so much for a first-generation foldable. For instance, it took Samsung effectively five tries to incorporate a gapless hinge design as it finally did with the Galaxy Z Fold 5 — the OnePlus Open does that (and much more) in one fell swoop.
