The OnePlus Open can completely fold flat without a crease, but the foldable cannot open flat at all times. Check it out!
I noticed that my OnePlus Open review unit does not open completely flat. It stops at about 178-179°, just a smidge away from being 180° flat.
DEAR GOD!
First-World problem right there...
Anyways... 😂
Oh no, not a
pennydegree. help, somebody help us.
Yikes. That is way too much camera. lol
This. I don't care about the not flat thing. The amount we've sacrificed in actual utility for giant ass cameras does bother me.
I would never buy that. I don't need my phone to be any bigger than it already is. Using my phone with one hand is essential to my comfort.
It's targeted towards tablet users, but I still feel that there are way better and cheaper phone/tablet combos out there.
I've tried tablets over and over again over the years, there's tablets in storage all over my house. The phone/tablet combo to me suffers from 1 major fatal flaw, the tablet is never around when you need it the most.
You can't carry tablets in normal pockets, sure you probably have some jeans with bigger-than-normal pockets, but now that's the first friction point: needing to ensure you wear your special jeans.
Now you need to carry it separately, not just slapping it in your pocket and going out the door. The second friction point: Always needing to carry some sort of small backpack/fanny pack/something to carry the tablet or resign yourself to letting it be loose in your car (Assuming you even have a car) or carrying it in your hands everywhere.
To me the foldable solves all of that, it's a phone when you need a phone, but got caught up in an unexpected long wait somewhere? Boom, tablet, ready to go when you are when you need it the most. And that's not even getting into things that tablets can't do, I for one have fallen in love with the ability to partially fold it like a book when reading.
I mean the whole point of a foldable is to be a normal phone, until you need the bigger screen the most. Excluding the Galaxy Folds, dunno what Samsung was thinking with that, it's way too narrow to satisfy the normal phone part.
I miss my Droid Mini. It was the perfect size.
And this is coming from soneone who wears XL gloves, btw.Phones are way too big.
But this article is in fact completely, irrevocably, tastelessly flat.
