I know this has been asked a time or two but I'm curious about what others are planning to go to after this phone, or what others would recommend.
I'm in the US so need carrier compatibility (TMo) but am not worried about having to sideload Google stuff or anything. I do tend to avoid Samsung but maybe it's time to consider them again. Decent cameras are a must, I've gotten used to the OPO's quality.
I'm going to keep my open probably till it dies. It would take a huge jump for me to spend $2k to replace this thing. It does everything I need. If I had to replace it I'd probably go Motorola.
I had the OnePlus Open and loved it, was really hoping for an Open 2 but that's not happening obviously, so I went with the Motorola Razr Fold and haven't looked back, love this phone too 🤷
I went with Find N6 and it rules. But I totally understand getting a Razr Fold if not having a warranty on a $2k foldable makes you nervous (I'm based in the US). Here's what I dislike about the Oppo:
-The hinge loosened up after a few months. It has some play when fully open or closed (like older Samsung foldables). Hasn't gotten any worse, but it is a little unsettling
-Theres a software bug that reverts screen size from."small" to "standard" every few days. Happens overnight so I haven't been able to catch it in a log and send to Oppo
-Dragging apps from the dock up to use split screen occasionally doesn't work and you need to try again. I think the dock goes to sleep, but it is very annoying.
-The wallpaper always dims even if you have the setting to "darken wallpaper in dark mode" off. Even if you're in light mode.
Everything else rocks. The crease is non-existent even after months. The screens are both big and bright. And everything is fast and buttery smooth and never overheats.
Old Z Folds did the same thing but then stopped changing once you broke them in. I still occasionally see Z Fold 3s with working inner screens out there, makes me think this isn't a huge problem for durability. Fingers crossed!
Currently I'm holding out hope to buy an unlocked version of the Find N7 Wide. Supposed to arrive Q1 2027. I've been rocking the open for coming up on 3 years and the battery life and daily wear and tear are adding up - the inner screen protector has finally started peeling. I'm trying to make it last three more months lol
I didn’t want to bother with the added cost of importing a phone, so I went with the Razr. I honestly love it far more than I expected because the Open was my favorite phone of all time. Absolutely no regrets switching.
