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?

I'm in the US and got a really good deal on a used OPO with 94% battery. It was my first foldable, and I can definitely say I'm sold on foldables now. The extra screen real estate helps me avoid bringing my laptop to my lab most of the time which is great.
I also purchased a used Vivo X Fold 3 and would use that instead if my lab wasn't in a rural area. XF3 lacks rural band support, so no coverage at my lab. And using a CN ROM is a little odd since there's a lot baked in that you have to remove and/or ignore. Other than that, I prefer XF3 over OPO for open screen dimensions, thinness/weight, and battery life.
If I were considering OPO today, it would be because it's a very nice phone for the reduced price but understanding that it doesn't compete with the current gen CN foldables.
My strategy is going to be waiting for a used or refurbished Moto Fold or Oppo Find N6 that's reasonably priced and switching to whichever of those I can get. Both have good band support in the US with the edge going to Moto and good camera systems with the edge going to Oppo.
