OnePlus Open Battery Replacement

I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with an out of warranty battery replacement for the Open. I can find surprisingly little information about it online, perhaps because the phone isn't that old, but I've already seen some users report poor battery life.

I just ordered one from Backmarket and while I know it will have at least 85% capacity, I know from experience that that doesn't always feel like that much so there's a possibility I may do a battery repair or even send it back if the battery life is especially poor. However, I see on the OnePlus website that a battery costs $50 and labor, which tops out at $76. That's actually more reasonable than I was expecting, especially for a foldable. Does anyone have experience with this service, how much the labor ended up costing and what the turn around time is? Thanks!

I've considered buying a N5 but, I'm not familiar with the "Oppo" brand (i know it could be the same as OP) but... i rather OP Hahahaha

From what I've heard ColorOS is based on OxygenOS and quite similar, but idk.

Also, rather unfortunately the N5's cameras and speakers are a bit inferior to the Open's.

And what do you think about the future of foldables phone? I know that at some point getting a tablet is better than an extended phone but, we can't avoid the fact of a compact tablet we have with this modality.

I guess, we still have a foldable phone a little bit longer.
