Highly functional cover display
The OnePlus Open has a very functional display – a 6.3-inch screen with a 10Hz-120Hz refresh rate and a “ceramic guard” screen protector. Unlike the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5’s cover panel, most apps work efficiently on the OnePlus Open. From watching Instagram Reels to YouTube Shorts, customers can have a very functional experience and give us a feel of using a normal main display. The edge-to-edge panel offer an immersive viewing experience.
Near crease-less main display
Foldable phones usually come with a noticeable crease in the middle of the main screen. While this isn’t a bad thing particularly, it can be felt and comes as a distraction while using the phone. However, the OnePlus Open offers a near-crease-less main display. The company has developed a ‘Flexion Hinge’ design and this minimises the weight and crease.
Since the crease is barely noticeable, this doesn’t mean the hinge is delicate or fragile.
