What you should know
The first OnePlus Open stood out for turning multitasking into a practical reason to own a foldable, rather than treating the second screen as a party trick. Launched in 2023, the OnePlus Open is best understood through its real ownership tradeoffs, not just a comparison grid. This is an independent desk-researched editorial assessment, not a WeraOne hands-on review.
Design, display and performance
Open Canvas makes moving among multiple windows central to the experience. The large inner screen suits documents and maps, although not every Android app understands the unusual aspect ratio or complex multitasking arrangements.
Cameras and video
OnePlus paid attention to the camera system, including a dedicated telephoto module. That is welcome on a foldable where manufacturers can sacrifice lenses to leave room for the hinge.
Battery, charging and compromises
The original Open is three years old in late 2026, and hinge/display condition on a used example is difficult to assess remotely. Unlike some rivals, its fast 67W wired charging does not imply wireless support. Its listed battery and charging specifications are manufacturer figures unless the source is identified as independent testing.
Software, updates and security
Shipped with OxygenOS based on Android 13. Confirm the device’s remaining security-support timeline before purchasing a refurbished example.
Should you buy it in 2026?
Buy when you genuinely use parallel apps and can inspect foldable hardware in person. Avoid buying at a premium solely to experience an aging foldable form factor.
Alternatives worth comparing
Honor Magic V3, newer Galaxy Fold models or a large regular phone. Compare the actual local model, price, warranty and years of remaining software support before choosing.
