Gadget Bridge has been testing Foldable phones since Samsung released its first folding phone five years ago. Samsung has great dominance in the market as it was the first to come up with a foldable device. Every other smartphone brand now offers foldable smartphones except for Apple. Recently we got our hands on the OnePlus’s first foldable smartphone — the OnePlus Open. It has been our daily driver for the past few weeks and we are surprisingly pleased with its performance. The device is also much cheaper than Samsung’s latest foldable Galaxy Z Fold 5 and is priced higher than Tecno’s Phantom V Fold. However, it definitely gives tough competition to Samsung’s fold. To know how let’s find this out in the OnePlus Open Review.

OnePlus Open Review: Design and Display
If you are bored of using a regular smartphone then we would recommend you to give foldables a try. These are very different from a smartphone as they can be used as a normal phone and also transform to a bigger screen to be used as a mini tablet.As we mentioned earlier Gadget Bridge has used every foldable smartphone that has been released so far, including the most recent Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5.We knew right away that the OnePlus Open was going to be a serious challenger we first held the phone in our hands and saw its design.OnePlus Open HingeAt only 245g, it is among the lightest folding phones available. We have the Voyager Black colour variant for the review. The back of the phone has a vegan leather finish, that gives it a more upscale appearance. Its design has been further enhanced by the thin, graphite-grey aluminium frame. The company has used a Flexion hinge for its foldable, which gives it a gapless design between the two portions of the display when closed. The device is 11.7mm thin when folded and 5.8mm slim when unfolded.Also Read:Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max Review: Max PerformanceYou can see that it looks quite classy with symmetrical finishing with no gap when it is closed. It feels really good in the hand as well.OnePlus Open has the largest external display looking similar to a normal standard smartphone, which features a 6.3-inch cover screen that is both wide and easy to use, so there’s no need to constantly unfold it. The bigger external display means the internal display is also bigger but the best part is that this one’s crease is nearly undetectable, making for a nearly smooth viewing experience. The primary screen is square and symmetrical.Also Read:Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 review (long term): A foldable delightNote that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is taller and is less wide compared to the OnePlus Open. Believe us, when you use the outer screen of this phone you will not feel as if you are using a foldable phone. This is why the external screen of OnePlus’s foldable has been used by us most of the time during our review. The internal or the primary display was used when we had to do some productive work.Coming back to the rear of the phone you see a very big Hasselblad branded triple camera setup. The sensors are housed inside a spherical module. Therefore this sets the phone apart from other foldable phones, however, it may wobble because of the massive rear camera bump. We also really liked how the metal frame on the side and the back looked.The book-style foldable phone has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, which doubles as a power button. There is no 3.5mm headphone jack. The phablet features OnePlus’s iconic Alert Slider, too. There are a total of four speakers on the device two each on either side. The company has provided reality speakers with noise-cancellation support and Dolby Atmos on the foldable.OnePlus Open portsLet’s now talk about the display specs in detail. OnePlus Open features a wide squarish 7.82-inch LTPO 3.0 Flexi-fluid AMOLED primary display with 2,440×2,268 pixels of resolution. The inside screen offers a 2K resolution with 426 ppi pixel density along with an aspect ratio of 1.0758: 1 and a screen-to-body ratio of 89.6%. The display has support for dynamic refresh rate ranging between 1-120Hz and a touch response rate of up to 240Hz. In addition to this, 1,400 nits is the typical screen brightness and 2,800 nits is the peak brightness. The display also supports sRGB, DCI-P3, 10-bit Color Depth and TÜV Rheinland Intelligent Eye Care protection.Whereas, the secondary display looks like a regular smartphone screen featuring 6.31-inch Super Fluid AMOLED with LTPO 3.0. The 2K display has 2,484×1,116 pixels of resolution. The remaining details of the outer display are the same as the inner display.During our usage, we never used a cover or a screen protector. The back of the phone is as good as new and is in fantastic shape, as is evident. Also, no scratches were noticeable on the displays.A screen guard that feels like tempered glass is pre-installed. For the primary display, the company has used Ultra Thin Glass and Ceramic Guard protection on the secondary display. The screen visibility on both the outer and the inner screen is excellent and is clearly visible under direct sunlight. OnePlus Open Display zoomIf you binge-watch content on YouTube, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video then this is a great option. So both the displays are stunning, bright and smooth. The colour, and contrast levels are superb while touch sensitivity and haptic feedback are excellent too and this is what we expect from a flagship device to look like and feel like. The fingerprint sensor on the side is also quick to unlock the phone and is reliable.This fantastic phone comes with an outstanding set of stereo speakers. We enjoyed watching videos and listening to music on this machine. The sound output is clear, balanced and loud. Just awesome.Also Read:Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 Review: Flip it good!
OnePlus Open Review: Performance and Cameras
Coming to the performance, OnePlus Open carries the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform with Adreno 740 GPU. The same processor has been used on the Galaxy Z Fold 5. It comes with 16GB LPDDR5X with RAM and 512GB UFS 4.0 storage. It also supports RAM VITA allowing you to expand RAM up to 12GB.You can play high-end games on this phone thanks to the most powerful chipset it comes with. It is really easy to multitask and play games on this gadget. The device does not overheat however gaming for a longer duration makes the phone warm, especially around the camera module. Games such as PUBG New State, BGMI, Call of Duty Mobile and Asphalt 9 ran smoothly without any hiccups, lags or frame drops.On the OnePlus Open, the UI experience on the screen is like a regular OnePlus phone. But it completely changes when it is unfolded. A lovely animation occurs when you shut and open the foldable screen. As said earlier the UI feels similar to that of a PC and includes a taskbar containing all of the apps and menu items. We enjoyed gaming on the big screen but the moment you switch to the smaller screen, the screen resolution takes a hit.On the software front, the book-style foldable phone comes with OxygenOS 13.2 based on Android 13. Dual splits and fast focus, Drag and drop sharing, and Triple splits are some of the features. The biggest advantage of the fold phones is that in a compact form factor, you get a PC-like experience. OnePlus Open split screenYou can use it as a normal phone for day-to-day usage and use the bigger screen for productive work. The dual split option allows you to run two apps simultaneously. You can also run a third application as well for easy multitasking.One can also switch from the primary display to the secondary screen or vice versa while gaming or watching videos. We ran almost all the apps on this foldable phone and as of now, we haven’t noticed any app compatibility issue. The haptic feedback is excellent thanks to the X-axis motor.In terms of photography, the foldable device has a triple rear camera setup tuned by Hasselblad. The camera unit includes a 1/1.43-inch 48MP Sony LYTIA-T808 “Pixel Stacked” CMOS primary sensor with Autofocus (1.12 μm, f/1.7 aperture, 85-degree FoV and OIS). There is a 1/2-inch 48MP Ultra-Wide lens (0.8 μm, 114-degree FoV, f/2.2 and EIS) and OmniVision OV64B 64MP Telephoto with OIS, 3X optical (0.7 μm, f/2.6, Up to 120X digital zoom). The camera features a Hasselblad Camera for Mobile, Nightscape, Dolby Vision, Smart Scene Recognition, Portrait Mode, Pro Mode, Panorama, Tilt-Shift mode, Long Exposure, Dual-View Video, Retouch, Movie Mode, XPan Mode, Focus Peaking etc. For videography, there is support for 4K video at 30/60 fps, 1080p video at 30/60 fps, 720p video at 30/60 fps, Dolby Vision HDR at 4K, 30 fps and more.The company has provided two cameras for selfies 20MP primary (inner) and 32MP secondary (outer).OnePlus has not only won praise for having a simple user interface, but it has also never let users down when it comes to camera performance. OnePlus gained a lot of popularity in its initial years for its pro-level cameras giving Apple tough competition at better pricing. This time again the company has worked hard on its optics.Normal Vs Portrait Outdoor shotsWe used the OnePlus camera to shoot images both indoors and outdoors. The daytime images appear beautiful with a good amount of dynamic range. The images are full of details and the output you get is amazing. It can easily differentiated between the object and the foreground. Normal Vs Portrait Indoor shotYou can also shoot images in Pro Mode if you would like to. You can also use the rear camera to shoot some incredible selfies in normal and portrait modes. The clarity is good and colour reproduction is also quite impressive. We also liked the edge detection in portraits and background blur.1x Vs 30x50x Vs 100x Vs 120xAs per the company, the telephoto lens on the OnePlus Open is comparable to that of Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra which supports up to 100x digital zoom. The OnePlus foldable has an advantage in this department not even the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 since none of them can zoom up to 120 times. Outstanding!100X Zoom OnePlus Vs SamsungHere are some telephoto shots. Do let us know in the comments which one’s 100x digital zoom is better OnePlus Open or Galaxy S23 Ultra’s (Review). You can zoom in to take images of a distant object, or signboard or even take a picture of the moon.Daytime Vs Night timeOnePlus Open camera also did a good job in low-light photography. Check out some image samples here.Portrait night (1x Vs 2x Vs 3x)The camera quality and stability are excellent when it comes to videography.Without Night Mode Vs With Night Mode onThe battery capacity is 4,805mAh and an 80W charger is given in the box however the phone supports 67W fast charging. During our testing, the battery life lasted for a day which included extensive gaming, binge-watching for camera testing and more. But it can be stretched to one and a half days on average usage. The good thing is that this foldable phone comes with fast charging support. There is a Type-C cable in the box. We always mention in our reviews that, unlike Samsung and Apple phones, the Chinese companies include a supported charging brick along with a cable.One thing that we do miss in this foldable phone is the stylus compatibility. How we wish a supported stylus came with the device just like Galaxy Z Fold 5. Although normally users don’t require a stylus it would have been great if the company had provided it at this pricing. Maybe this is why it is priced significantly less than Fold 5.
Verdict
Along with other aspects, we find the OnePlus Open’s form factor and display to be impressive. But the hardware performance is outstanding. The phone is well-optimised and there were no issues during multitasking, gaming and camera testing. The phone does heat up when playing games for long hours and when the camera app is being used for a longer duration. But cools down very quickly as soon as you shut these apps.For multitasking, you can run multiple applications together thanks to the dual split option. This experience you usually get on a desktop only. So this is the big reason why people are moving from regular smartphones to foldables. The battery life is also good. OnePlus has undoubtedly exceeded our expectations with this foldable, especially as it is the company’s first. OnePlus Open is priced at Rs 1,39,999 in India. Do tell us in the comments which foldable phone would you buy OnePlus Open or Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5.

iPhones are considered to be the gold standard when it comes to online security and guarding data. However, this does not mean they are completely impervious to cyber attacks. If you take a look at the most famous spyware apps, all of them have iOS variants that can be easily planted on a target iPhone. In the past, some journalists, politicians, and activists have also been the target of state-sponsored spyware that somehow made its way to their iPhones. If you suspect your device has been compromised, here are the top 5 ways to detect if someone has remote access to your iPhone.Read Also:Apple 2023 model of MacBook Pro powered by M3 chipsets launched

Your iPhone heats up frequently
Smartphones are known to heat up easily when they are old and beaten up. However, if you own a relatively newer iPhone, random surges in its internal temperature when you are not performing a power-intensive task is a sign that it may be allocating its resources to some other background tasks. Since spyware and stalkerware run discreetly in the background, they could be causing your device to heat up.
Battery drainage
If your iPhone witnesses a sudden drop in its battery backup, it could be because of stalkerware running in the background. Batteries are not built to last, but it typically takes them several years to degrade. If your iPhone’s battery health is close to 100% there is no reason why it shouldn’t provide a baseline power backup, especially if your screen time is low. The only rational reason is that it is catering to background spyware or stalkerware even when your phone is locked.
Excessive data usage
Since most pieces of spyware need to relay the data to the entity that installed them on your iPhone, they rely heavily on your phone’s mobile data or the connected WiFi network. Check your iPhone’s data usage and see if it corroborates with your usage pattern. If there’s any unaccounted data, it is likely being used by spyware to communicate with the entity that hacked into your phone.
Check Face ID
Your iPhone allows you to set up more than one appearance for Face ID. If someone gets physical access to your unlocked iPhone, they can easily set up an alternate Face ID using their appearance to gain authorised access to your device in future. Since most users do not check Face ID settings regularly, this is a very clever way of going under the radar while spying on an iPhone. If you suspect this is the case with your device as well, go to Settings>Face ID and passcode>Set up Face ID to check for any alternate appearances.
Run a spyware scan
Most anti-virus apps for iPhones also allow users to run a spyware scan. Oftentimes, this feature may only be available with a premium subscription to the app. A thorough spyware scan can also take up a fair amount of time. Apps like McAfee, Norton 360, and Avast can scan and remove spyware from your iPhone.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I know if someone is remotely accessing my iPhone?
If you notice an unprecedented spike in internal temperature, excessive data usage, a drop in battery life, and a general lag in performance, it could mean that your iPhone is catering to spyware running in the background.
How do I remove spyware from my iPhone?
Most antivirus apps like McAfee, Norton 360, and Avast can scan and remove spyware from your iPhone. However, if you want to be thorough, you should perform a complete factory reset of your device.
These are the top 5 ways to detect if someone has remote access to your iPhone. It is always a good idea to track your iPhone’s key performance metrics and look out for any weird or unexplained drops. However, if you want to know for sure that your device has been compromised, you need to run a spyware scan on it.
One of the most absurd things you can experience on your phone is ghost touches. A ghost touch is when your phone’s touchscreen registers a touch gesture even when you aren’t directly touching it. This is more common on phones with broken or cracked screens but it can be particularly confusing to fix when there’s no damage to the device. In this article, we bring you the top 10 ways to fix your smartphone if it is clicking things on its own, causing ghost touches.Read Also:Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max Review: Max Performance

What causes ghost touches to occur on Android?
Ghost touches on your smartphone can be confusing to fix. Before you embark on fixing the device, it is crucial you know what’s causing it to act this way. Here are some of the common reasons behind ghost touches.
Broken phone screen
Poorly applied screen protector
Dust and grime collection on the screen
Faulty charger
Rogue apps
Improper installation of software update
Give your phone’s touchscreen a thorough wipe
Nine times out of ten, the reason behind ghost touches is a dirty screen. Grime and dirt particles that collect on your phone can trigger the touch panel on your phone’s screen, leading to random clicks. Grab a microfibre cloth and give your phone a thorough wipe to fix this problem. You can also dampen the cloth a little to get rid of the grime that has collected on the screen over a period of time.
Remove the screen protector
A faulty screen protector can also trigger ghost touches on your smartphone. This can be due to the poor quality of the screen protector or shoddy installation. If it is the latter, dust and dirt particles can easily find their way between the screen and the protector. Peel off the screen protector and give your phone a thorough wipe before installing a new one. Make sure you follow all the instructions mentioned on the retail package correctly. You can even search YouTube for exhaustive guides on how to install a screen guard correctly.
Turn on Accidental Touch Protection
If your phone keeps randomly opening certain applications while it’s in your pocket, it is more likely due to accidental touches rather than ghost touches. Here’s how you can turn on Accidental Touch Protection on your device.Step 1: Go to Settings and select Display.Step 2: Turn on the toggle switch for Accidental Touch Protection.
Replace the faulty charger
If you notice ghost touches on your smartphone only while it’s being charged, it is because phone chargers can sometimes have an effect on the touch sensor. This is a more common issue on knock-off or cheap chargers. Make sure you are using the authentic power brick shipped by the smartphone manufacturer or a power adapter from a trusted brand.
Clear background apps
Moving on to software issues that may be causing this problem, the first catch-all fix that you should try is clearing all the background apps running on your device. You can do this by triggering the app switcher using its icon in the navigation bar or by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and holding the touch gesture for a moment. Once you are in the app switcher, tap on ‘Close all’ to terminate the background activity for all apps.
Restart your smartphone
A quick restart can fix the software glitches in the background that may be causing random clicks on your smartphone. Press and hold the side key and hit ‘Restart’ from the power menu. If the side key triggers the voice assistant on your device, press and hold it with the volume up or down key to access the power menu.
Update the touchscreen’s firmware (Samsung)
If you own a Samsung smartphone, you can easily update its touchscreen firmware to fix ghost touches. Here’s what you need to do.Step 1: Launch the Dialer app on your Samsung smartphone.Step 2: Dial *#2663#.Step 3: Tap on TSP FW Update (General).
Update your phone’s OS
Bug-related software issues are generally fixed by developers with a swift update. Here’s how you can update your phone’s OS.Step 1: Connect your phone to a WiFi network and plug in its charger.Step 2: Go to Settings and select Software update.Step 3: Tap on Download and Install. Your smartphone will check for any new updates.Step 4: If an update is available, tap on Install Now. You can also schedule the update for a later time.
Disable Hardware Overlays
Step 1: Enable Developer Mode on your smartphone. Check out this article if you don’t know how to go about it.
Step 2: Once the Developer Mode has been enabled, go to Settings and tap on Developer Options.
Step 3: Scroll down and turn on the toggle switch next to Disable HW Overlays.
Perform a Factory Reset
If everything else fails, restore your phone to its factory settings to fix the ghost touch issue. A factory reset wipes all your personal data from the device and restores its settings to factory defaults. Here’s how you can go about it.
Step 1: Go to Settings, scroll down and select General management.
Step 2: Tap on Reset.
Step 3: Select Factory data reset.
Step 4: Scroll down and tap on Reset.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Samsung’s One UI is considered by many to be the best Android skin out there – and for good reason. Apart from aesthetically pleasing design and layout, Samsung has always been on top of the security and privacy game with its state-of-the-art digital protection tools. On the latest Android 14-based One UI 6, Samsung has rolled out a new security tool called ‘Auto Blocker’. Let’s take a quick look at how Auto Blocker works on Samsung smartphones with One UI 6 and how you can enable it on your device.Read Also:Interviewed: Tete-e-tete with Sanjoy Bhattacharya from ViewSonic India

What is Auto Blocker on Samsung’s One UI 6?
The newest Auto Blocker feature on One UI 6 bumps up the security on Samsung devices in a few key ways. Firstly, it blocks app downloads from third-party sources. This feature is turned off by default as sideloading is an essential feature of Android devices, but once turned on, it safeguards users against malware attacks and voice phishing.The installation of malicious malware on your device can be restricted further by turning on app security checks. This feature detects and blocks potential malware or harmful software being installed on your phone when it is connected to a USB cable.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max Review: Design and Display
When it comes to the design of the new Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max, there are two big changes. The company has gone away with the lightning charging port and installed the USB-C port. The box now comes with the USB-C to USB-C cable (yes, no charger in the box). The other big change is the inclusion of an action button that replaces the ringer key. This is great and one can now customise this button to a task of your choosing. And it comes with a great user interface, will talk about that in just a moment.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max is built of more sustainable and recycled materials, which includes an internal aluminium structure that is 100% recycled. Over that, the frame of the Pro Max is built of titanium, which not only makes the smartphone lighter but also makes it look exceptionally good. The rear of the smartphone is made of textured matte glass, while the front sports the Ceramic shield glass.
Since it is the Pro version, the camera structure at the back sport three cameras instead of two placed on a beautiful camera bump. The Apple logo can also be found under it and the overall façade looks very modern. Apart from that, the usual suspects like the power button, volume keys and the speaker grille can also be found on the sides as well as the bottom (respectively).
Let’s move to the Display of the smartphone. The Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max strides in with a 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR (OLED) screen supporting 2,796 x 1,290 pixels resolution at 460ppi. The peak brightness of the display has been bumped to 2,000 nits, which makes everything legible even under direct sunlight. Adaptive refresh rate of 120Hz has also been included along with HDR capabilities.
We played a lot of videos and games on the smartphone and not once did it give us a chance to say, OH! That does not feel right. At every step, it impressed us and the peak brightness does make it very legible under direct sunlight. Ray Tracing is also supported, however since there are no games on the mobile platform that support it, we have to take Apple’s word for it so that in the future it will deliver the best in RT gaming.
Netflix and YT videos look good on the device and we loved that the sound compliments each type of movie or music genre. All in all, the large screen is still one of the best aspects. It is very-very impressive.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max Review: Performance and Cameras
Inside, the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max has been equipped with the latest A17 Pro chipset that not only boasts faster app opening but with its top-of-the-line GPU can also play the latest upcoming games using ray-tracing tech (as said). The battery has also been improved and now you will get a full-day battery life and, in some cases, even more than a day. However, if you are a power user like us, you might need to charge the phone after 20-21 hours, which is still great for a full day of office hours and more.
Cameras are one key area where the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max outshines the rest. The addition of the 48MP primary sensor at the back makes it so much better than the last generation and this is something all us techies wanted. The images shot in daylight and good indoor lights come out vivid and very sharp. Low-light images are no different. We were able to squeeze some good shots from all three rear cameras at night. Also, now users can zoom up to 5X optically and capture great shots. This is still slightly behind the competition, nonetheless, the image-capturing capabilities here are much better at max zoom levels.
Videos can be shot in 4K resolution at 60FPS and come out very crisp too, even in low-lit areas. The selfie camera is still the 12MP camera from yesteryears but does seem a bit enhanced over the last counterpart. We got good to great images from the selfie camera in both well and dimly-lit areas. Something that we love about the iPhones is that the cameras do not disappoint.
iOS 17 comes out of the box in the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max and it has a lot of improvements over the last iteration. The overall operating system seems to be smoother and the addition of features such as air-dropping your contact info by bringing two iPhones together is great. Over that, if someone misses your FaceTime call, you can record a short video or audio message and send it to them.
The ringer key has been replaced by the action button, which brings along a great interface. You can choose from pre-loaded actions or customise the shortcut key to a process of your liking. If you do not want to set it at anything you can just choose no action. The action key interface can be accessed via the settings menu.
We tested the phone out with the AnTuTu benchmark, and it scored a superb 15,27,414 points on it.
The storage is also great and is available up to 1 TB, you will not end up running out of it anytime soon. And the addition of USB Type-C (with the use of the right fast cable) will make sure you end up with faster transfers between devices.

Verdict
The price of the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max starts at Rs 1,59,900 for the 256 GB version, which many are saying is much higher than outside. But hey how many of you are actually going to another country just to buy an iPhone? Irrespective, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is a brilliant buy that now has a lot of good things going for it. We loved the fast processing and the 48MP rear camera. Over that, the titanium frame just makes it look delicious.
