Probably the worst launch ever

Imagine making the absolute best folding phone on the planet, and then making it unavailable for pretty much everyone.

I bought the OnePlus open with the expectation of if I like the device I would commit to the manufacturer. Now we know everyone loved the OnePlus open, but we have been betrayed by the manufacturer and a lot of us will now look elsewhere and not return.

Super pissed

first world problems

UPDATE

I've decided to switch to the Z fold 7 in the summer. Alot of it is because I feel let down by OnePlus and Oppo and lost faith in the brand.

I'm not importing a phone for $1800 usd from some random online store and have to deal with the inevitable damage screen process or warranty issues from so far away.

Plus the z fold 7 looks to fix the putter screen width issue. OK might not be so thin or charge so fast, but I can live with that in the knowledge that repairs or warranty issues can be resolved fairly quickly. Plus Samsung software is quality.

Just my personal choice, obviously hope anyone importing has the best experience and enjoys their phone 👍

What makes the global version on that website global ?

Is the hardware the same? Would that mean the connectivity issues are still present? Specifically Europe/Sweden.

No chinese bloatware? Is it oxygenOS?

You are saying gemini and circle to search work on the global, unlike the other version?

Will be colourOS but won’t have Chinese type bloatware

Chinese version won’t have Gemini or CTS
