OnePlus Open (Oneplus Open) Review: 16GB RAM, 512GB 5G – Emerald Dusk

Introduction

The OnePlus Open, in its striking Emerald Dusk color, arrived on my desk promising a premium foldable experience. This review covers the international version boasting 16GB of RAM and a generous 512GB of internal storage. After weeks of rigorous testing, I’m ready to share my honest assessment.

Features

The OnePlus Open immediately impresses with its sleek design and surprisingly comfortable feel in hand. The 7.82-inch foldable display is a joy to use for media consumption and multitasking. The 120Hz refresh rate contributes to a smooth and responsive experience. The triple-camera system, with its impressive 48+64+48MP configuration, promises excellent photo capabilities, and the 20MP secondary camera is adequate for selfies. The fast charging is a major plus. The phone’s quick charging capability from 1-35% in 10 minutes truly speeds things up. The 4805 mAh battery provides decent battery life under regular usage.

Performance

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor delivers exceptional performance. Multitasking is seamless, and even demanding games run smoothly. I experienced no lag or stuttering throughout my testing period. The 16GB of RAM ensures that apps remain open and readily accessible. The 512GB of storage is more than sufficient for most users, though expandable storage would have been a welcome addition.

The camera system produces high-quality images, particularly in well-lit conditions. Low-light performance could be slightly improved. The 67W fast charging is a game changer, quickly replenishing the battery when needed. Battery life, while not exceptional, generally lasts a full day on moderate usage.

Pros & Cons

  • Pros: Stunning design, impressive performance, fast charging, high-quality display, ample storage.
  • Cons: No expandable storage, could improve low-light camera performance.

Final Verdict

The OnePlus Open (Oneplus Open) delivers a premium foldable phone experience. While minor improvements could be made to the camera and the lack of expandable storage is a noticeable omission, the exceptional performance, stunning display, and blisteringly fast charging make it a compelling option. I highly recommend the OnePlus Open (Oneplus Open) to those seeking a powerful and stylish foldable phone.
