  1. 00:01 OnePlus Open is a great first gen foldable phone

    01:34 OnePlus Open is a flagship phone with a unique design and foldable display.

    03:01 OnePlus Open is a foldable phone with a subtle crease and impressive design.

    04:24 OnePlus Open is a phone for power users.

    05:50 OnePlus Open is awesome with great build, performance, and camera

    07:22 Folding phones face challenges in price, durability, and user preferences.

    08:53 Folding phones have durability issues and are not translating to mainstream success

    10:21 Folding phones have come a long way but still have limitations.

  2. What’s it going to take for people to start using foldable phones? As a consumer and my personal opinion. I am waiting until Apple does it. Then I will probably consider it at that time.

  3. For the price of 1.8 I don't want to baby it like crazy and worry about dead pixels in 3 weeks, durability and all that

  4. Yeah, price is definitely the biggest barrier for me. I buy used phones because I'm so cheap. I don't think all the phones I've ever bought for myself combine to $1700…. so yeah… once there's a really durable foldable that costs around $200-$300 at a year or two old, I might consider it.

  5. This is the first foldable passport phone that looks like a finished product..( I am not including the flip phones, those are alreaady good), before this every other phone with this form factor either looked cumbersome, or unrefined or having a bad form factor.

  6. Marcus, Sir,

    ……another Hellish thought (below)

    …………….WHO would be convincing themselves that they may need these types of devices ?……….i think maybe a lot of corporate office workers WOULD ………and they tend to wear suits RIGHT…..?

    Q = what fits perfect in a suite pocket? (side)
    A =..a 49 bucks 7 inch tablet (Fire tab) ………

    Q = and what fits perfect in your inside pocket..?…..
    A = ….a new 24 bucks Walmart smartphone

    ……..$74.99 …..versus……. $1799

    yikes

    many thanks

    ……..O___o…….

  7. Price and durability are two major issues with phones today.

    If the phone does not survive regular use without a case (that includes dropping the phone once in a while) the phone is not well enough designed.

    I also don't see myself paying more than 500$ for a phone, because why should I? A high end "mid range" phone can be had for 200-500$ and give 95% of the same user experience as a phone that cost 2 to 3 times as much.

  8. Looks like a great phone but you nailed it on 3 points, that's what gets me. Reliability will NEVER be the same because of the mechanical action and hinge.
    And the usage for me doesn't justify. Either I can do it on the phone or I need a computer (to code, for example).
    The mic sounds professional indeed. If you didn't tell, I'd think this was your regular pro mic hahaha

  9. Even as a dirty iPhone user. If Apple makes a foldable phone, I still won’t buy one. I am an IT professional and PC gamer who loves tinkering with computer and networking technology, but the one device I don’t want to tinker with and need to work is my smart phone. That is why I always be an apple sheepel when it comes to the smartphone game.

  10. People don't like z fold 5 outer display but as a previous owner of an experia z5 iv i think is the best format for me. I hope they keep it for z6 or at least make two models.

  11. Never going to happen, why would I want a huge chunky phone in my pocket. I can do everything I want on my current phone

  12. Wait until Apple makes it and Marques will be singing prises about folding phones and how they are the pinnacle of tech and everyone should get it…Stooge

  13. The OnePlus Open is cool and all really it is but I'm here to see if we can hit the links before the weather breaks here in Jersey! That TaylorMade hoodie is 🔥 ⛳🏌🏿

  14. I'm going to sound like a butthurt Samsung fan but im not. Seriously, i use an iPhone.
    But this phone is not first gen fold. Samsung is the one who mainstreamed foldable and developed it so much, This phone for example is a repackaged Oppo fold 3. so clearly not first gen. Even Oppo had a real folding phone in their hand before launching their own. They had something, a reference.
    This exact same thing will happen to iPhone/iPad fold as well when it launches 4-5 years later. Big shot youtubers will label it as "Its only first gen and they got so much right, look at Samsung 1st gen fold, it was a disaster". You can see him calling this first gen done right at 0:13

    You can also see him comparing early models of folding phones to this phone at 2:38 . Is it fair comparing 2 phones 3-4 years apart

  15. Hola campeón , no si en algún video podrías hablar sobre las empresas de celulares que en México bloquen a los celulares que no se compren en ese país , saludos ..
