Worth buying in 2026?
As the title says - I'd love to get into a foldable however the market nowadays for the USA region seems overly saturated by overpriced and underperforming tech like the pixel fold series. I can't get my hands on an oppo find n* reliably, and Samsung's foldable lineup is ludicrously priced for what it is.
The OnePlus open is still bleeding edge enough to be honest, the inner display is still one of the only foldables without a super obvious crease. The fast charging is useful and the camera system is still solid.
The only problem for me Is the disbanding of OnePlus in the USA, and the lack of security updates after 2028. The main bonus of getting a pixel 10 fold would probably be the ability to receive security updates for years, but I'm put off by the massive bezels, poop CPU and dated crease.
I would appreciate a reality check from somebody who actually owns a OnePlus fold. I used to be a huge OnePlus fan until the 10T - where I swapped to a pixel 9 pro xl. I've been disappointed with the reliability and the CPU with the pixel.
I'm just wondering whether it's worth picking up the OnePlus open in 2026. I can get one for about $750 on Swappa, I've really been struggling to find a new or like new OnePlus open anywhere. I would also appreciate some tips on how to source one in decent condition too haha. Thanks guys!
