Overall, how is One plus open ergonomically?
Actually, I have the Fold4. I like it a lot. I don't think I'd be able to go back to a regular phone (one that doesn't have a massive internal screen, but may have a thesaurus).
- No wireless charging
- IPX4 Rating ( Vs IPX8 on the Fold 5 )
- Questionable software updates ( historically )
- Chinese ( data mining product )
But yay!!.. IR blaster ftw! lol..
Interesting definition of ' in every regard '

No wireless charging was a weird choice but at least it's super fast charging, which may affect battery longevity in the long run.
It's splash resistant but honestly you should keep any foldable away from water due to the hinge. The good thing is the Open has a very tight fold when closed so dust doesn't get into the inner screen while it sits in your pocket or wherever. The ZF5 you can still see light coming through when closed, so dust can still get into the inner screen.
The only previous OnePlus device I had was a 6T, which started at Android 9 and stopped at Android 11. They promised longer updates (4 yrs Android versions, 5 yrs security) for their new flagships, including the Open, but yes, I agree with how long they will actually support the phone with software updates is still up in the air. Just hoping they don't pull a Microsoft with their Surface Duos.
The moment you use any Android, you're already agreeing to data mining from Google, lol.
IR blaster is actually a very underrated feature. I use it for all of the TVs in my house and it's very convenient. I also like messing with public TVs if I can get the brands.
I could not stand the narrow screen of the ZF5. The crease is a bit less than previous gen Folds, but still prominent and I just couldn't get over how odd it looks. The Open's crease is barely noticeable and it's a marvel how they achieved that. So far I'm very happy with the Open. Really, the only thing I would say the ZF5 has over the Open completely is Dex.
More competition only benefits the consumers, so I don't understand why people make fun of non-Sammy devices/foldables. This, along with the Pixel Fold, will actually encourage Samsung to get off their lazy ass. They've been riding on the same design for the last 5 generations.
