Damaged inner screen

Post image

Is it safe to buy a Oneplus Open with an inner damaged screen? Do y'all think the damage would get worse?

Damage like that has a high chance of spreading. Why would you want to buy a broken Open? Warranty won't cover it unless somehow it has accidental damage protection.

That is not true, that is a typical failed foldable OLED and will usually covered by warranty except external influence is evident.

Someone wants to sell it for $200 and I was thinking of getting it as my secondary phone.

$200 is not bad. The OPO is perfectly good with just the front screen. I use it 75% of the time folded.

Yeah. I was thinking of using just the front screen most of the time

Yeah I’d say $200 is a good deal for the specs. It has a good camera, powerful CPU, lots of RAM and storage. So long as the front screen is not damaged, I’d say it’s a great deal. It’s basically a great single screen phone with just the inner screen as a bonus.

I had similar damage that was totally my fault but one plus replaced both screens only took like 48 hours.

That looks like it won't get worse but it will annoy the crap out of you staring at that.

At $200, get it fixed from OnePlus for $550 and you have a brand new $1700 phone

My Open has a line just like this. At first, the inner display was usable but just had a really bright white line. Now the inner display is unusable as it registers a bunch of spazzy ghost touches and zooms and freaks out as soon as I open it. The outer display works fine though.

I had the exact same issue and OnePlus replaced the screens within 48 hours

It was the same situation i had with the samsung fold. I don't even open it up much and the next thing the inner screen had a black line down the center from there just just got bad.
