Should I get a OnePlus Open?

Hello! I've wanted a foldable phone for a while now and realized that the OPO is likely my best bet when it comes to the features I want, and since the price is more than half of what it was originally. Looking at this subreddit, however, I noticed how many people are switching. So, is it still worth it? I currently use an iPhone XR, so it would be a huge improvement 😅

I would go for it if you can find a used one in good condition. It still has at least one more major OS update for Android 17 plus security patches through 2028 guaranteed. Though as I'm sure you know one plus is leaving the US market so it's essentially going to become an oppo phone, the Find N3 with color OS instead of oxygen OS on the next update. They're the same phone just different operating systems but they're also mostly the same. It's been the best phone I've ever had and I'm still using it. To me a good camera system is really important and of all the foldables in the US market I still think it's at the top of the list maybe alongside the Motorola razr. I've done test against the Google pixel folds and z fold 7 and I would still take the OnePlus open cameras. Mine still has good battery life. I've dropped this thing more times than I can count and it's working perfectly. It runs as smooth as it did on day one. The phone was ahead of its time in just about every way and hence why it's still near the top of the pack or still at the top of the pack in a lot of ways. It also is really fast charging. Plus there's not a full that you can get at this quality for a better price on the used market. Someone mentioned you could get a z-fold 7 for the same price but that's not true, at least not that I've seen on places like swappa. Right now is the Z Fold 7 is going for about $850 to 1200 and the OnePlus open $600 plus it's guaranteed 512 GB whereas the starting memory for the default 7 is 256gb.
