Our Take
With impressive specifications, the OnePlus Open appears to be an intimidating rival for the Galaxy Z Fold 5. The most recent Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile CPUs are in both phones. However, the Samsung Fold is available in three distinct configurations while the OnePlus Phablet just has one RAM and storage choice. The designs of both phones were influenced by the respective business flagships.
Compared to the Fold 5, the OnePlus Open is more compact and slender. The OnePlus phone’s display is also brighter than the Galaxy phone’s. They both ship pre-installed with Android 13 devices.
When it comes to photography, OnePlus does better than Samsung. On paper, the OnePlus Open cameras appear to be reliable, but the performance of the camera on the Fold 5 doesn’t fall short (Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 Review).
Although the Samsung Fold 5 is available in a variety of configurations, its basic model costs even more than the OnePlus Open 16GB RAM with a 512GB storage option. We are aware that Samsung has a sizable and loyal fan base for its reliable and proven handsets. However, the OnePlus Open definitely beats the OnePlus Fold 5 in terms of specs and cost.
