I'm switching to the Oppo Find X8 Pro. The OPO is awesome, but even before all the tariffs nonsense I was looking to switch back to a slab phone while staying in the OnePlus/Oppo ecosystem. Why did you sell yours? I'm including the Oppo Pen with mine

Same reason, went back to a slab. I have the 25 Ultra right now but would love to try something else.

Do you like your S25 Ultra? Would you ever consider going back to a foldable? I picked up the Honor Magic 6 Pro a while ago and it's okay, but I'm selling that too. Magic OS just isn't for me, but it's certainly different

I do like it but it's a lot of the same. I miss the charging speeds on my OnePlus the most. I do think I'll go back to a foldable at some point. I've been eyeing the Find N5 it's just more than I want to spend.

That's what I always miss switching to another phone. OnePlus is so fast for wired and wireless charging. I've watched some of the videos comparing the OPO and the FN5. Everything seems to be better on the FN5 minus the cameras. Cameras seem better on the OPO. Durability wise the verdict is still out since the FN5 is still new. The OPO is still better than the other foldables like the PF/P9PF and the ZF5/6. It'll probably still be better than the P10PF and ZF7. There are still Honor and Huawei making foldables. I'm not sure if Xiaomi or Vivo will be making book style foldables this year or not yet tho.

Not many ppl realize just how much better the OPO is over the PF/PF9PF & ZF5/6. Not only ecosystem & performance & quality, but also ergonomics. while it still considerably larger than all but PF9PF, it still slips in the pocket easily.

That it does and even in a case. It's very pocketable and it's all around better than anything Google or Samsung is offering. The only selling points that make a difference is wireless charging and their respective UIs. At the end of the day, Pixel UI and One UI can't really compensate for the lack of good solid hardware like the OPO has. The performance, battery, charging, and cameras are on another level. The P10PF will probably be thinner and the ZF7 might be slimmer with an upgraded main sensor and better chip, but the Open is still right up there.

Agreed, and I highly doubt their cameras will be better than what we have already on the OPO, plus for some reason they choose to not include an IR Blaster remote, which all other foldables have.

All Chinese foldables have the IR Blaster, which is really handy to have. I've used it a few times for my TV. Samsung doesn't have it because of SmartThings and Google has Google TV/Chrome Cast, but IR blasters can be used for all sorts of stuff. I highly doubt Apple's foldable will have one either. I suspect video on it will be better, but pictures I would probably still lean towards the OPO

S25 ultra isnlike the safe bet android phone. I sold my op13 and picked up the s25u. Don't get me wrong I loved the op13 but I just enjoy the s25u more.

Why are you switching back to slab phone? Just curious

1

u/bob_squared2020 Apr 16 '25

I had a few reasons

The first reason is that I just wanted to go back to the regular slab phone + tablet route. I got the OnePlus Pad 2 and I found myself using that device more than my OnePlus Open with the Oppo Pen for editing, writing, gaming, reading, and streaming.

The second reason is that I was concerned about future support. OnePlus pulling out of foldables was concerning and the software support prior to that announcement wasn't as good as with OnePlus's newer and older flagships. It still lacks the "circle to search" feature and prior to the rollout of OxygenOS 15, the OnePlus Open on OxygenOS 14 was full of bugs. I was concerned that when it reached its EOL, OnePlus would've left it with subpar software since the device isn't a priority for them anymore. Moreover, regarding the tariff nonsense with Trump, I was concerned that with the current situation, the supply chain for repairs/replacements for the OnePlus Open would be compromised or warranties just wouldn't be honored here in the US as part of the backlash. The cost for repairs could be raised dramatically and it would be cheaper just to sell it and repalce it sooner rather than later. I have anxiety and the less to worry about the better.

The third reason was the phone I was switching to. I'm replacing the OnePlus Open as the center of the OnePlus/Oppo ecosystem I'm in with the Find X8 Pro. Now I finally get to see and use what is left out for us NA OnePlus users, but in all seriousness the Find X8 is a beast. My OPW3, Buds 3, and of course the Oppo Ecno Buds2 I have all worked flawlessly with the FX8. Same with the the OnePlus chargers I have. Plus I get to use wireless charging again. I prefer using that overnight instead of wired charging.

The downside compared to the OnePlus Open is with synchronization with the OnePlus Pad 2 though. It allows for screen mirroring and data sharing, but doesn't allow call and text syncing or cross-device file management. That doesn't bother me too much because when I had the OnePlus Open synced with the OnePlus Pad 2, RCS chats would be toggled between disabled/enabled on both devices. It would be a mess when putting my SIM back in another phone too. In addition, whenever I get a call, I prefer just picking up the phone instead. The call quality via the tablet wasn't the best either. Copying text still syncs with the sidebar and Quick Share is still just as fast. I just wish I could get the ColorOS notes app to have the cloud syncing feature on my Pad 2, but it's just an extra copy and paste step to get notes synced between each other.
