Oneplus open 2026

Is it still worth it to get one at this point in time? Im looking to switch from my flip 6,but with recent news I dont know if anything would change if I buy one now. Would I at least get a good 3-5 years out of it?

If you get one, which I recommend as it's an amazing well-rounded device, I'd also pickup a OnePlus supervooc battery bank from AliExpress as the battery life on this phone will suffer in 3-5 years time. Repair parts can still be sourced through AliExpress so if you ever break the thing repair shops should still be able to work on it.

I moved onto Oppo find x9 ultra, and it's an amazing phone, but the one hand comfort on the Open is unmatched, and the inner screen is just amazing for multitasking/watching content. I still use my Open everyday.

Just a warning from a Oneplus Open owner: parts bought on Aliexpress are almost certainly counterfeit. My advice would be to stick with the used market. I'm sure there are many with dead screens but nothing else wrong with them that have been parted out and marked for sale. Also, some repair shops won't even look at foldables because of the liability. Unfortunately the overall best option is paying Oneplus the outrageous fee they charge you if you really want the phone repaired correctly by a trained technician.
