OnePlus Open review: specs, battery & used prices
Hands-on-style overview of the OnePlus Open with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2: screen, cameras, battery, performance and what it costs used.
Summary
The OnePlus Open is OnePlus's 2023 book-style foldable, still the lightest large-format hinge design of its generation: a 7.82-inch 120 Hz inner OLED, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, a Hasselblad triple camera, and a 4,805 mAh battery in a 239 g body. It launched at $1,699 for the 16/512 GB configuration, which now trades used for around $682 with a deep 10-sale sample — foldable hardware at slab-flagship prices.
Display and design
The 7.82-inch inner panel runs at 120 Hz with a 1,400-nit peak, scoring 69/100 on our screen-quality axis. The 239 g weight and 58/100 compactness score describe the trade: less pocketable closed, more tablet open. Protection is IPX4 — splash only, the generation's standard foldable compromise.
Performance
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 keeps the Open capable — a gaming score of 40/100 with the multitasking surface of a small tablet. Update policy is not recorded for this model; prospective long-term owners should assume a conservative runway.
Camera
The Hasselblad system pairs a 48 MP stabilised main sensor with high-resolution ultrawide and 3x telephoto modules, capturing video to 4K at 60 fps. Our camera score of 57/100 is upper-catalog — when it launched, the best camera system in any foldable, and still competitive in the class.
Battery and charging
The 4,805 mAh battery earns a 36/100 battery-life score — modest by slab standards, typical for foldables — with 67 W wired charging at 48/100 for sub-hour full charges.
Verdict
The OnePlus Open around $682 used is the cheapest credible route into a camera-serious foldable, and its resale score of 95/100 says the market agrees. Buy it for the hinge, weight, and camera; verify the update status if you plan to keep it long-term. Google's Pixel Fold trades hardware for software longevity at a similar used price.
