    But drops are unpredictable.

      Still not ready for prime time
      if the fold of the screen is still "topical"
      the crease is a thing

        A phone so strong that only Thanos is able to snap it.

              He is also building a preper tunnel the nut. Id rather be surface bound than wait for death crazy as.

I don't see anything on 1+'s website, but I did see a couple of indirect comments on the screen issues and broken displays. Is 1+ removing those posts?

                      Why did he have to burn the plastic display? He already said it was plastic and could have just skipped it because everyone knows plastic burns.

                          justasmile, 02 Dec 2023Thats as usual for foldable phones whose hinges and structu... moreI love Google Pixels, but I have to agree that the Pixel Fold has lots of problems, and durability is a big one. Not convinced by Google's foldable game until I see something as good as the OnePlus Open. Same with Samsung, but seeing as I'll never buy a Samsung phone again due to my awful experience with them in the past, that's a moot point. At least Samsung's foldables aren't terrible, but still nothing like the OnePlus Open or the Honor Magic V2.

                            I still wonder why Jerry does this,but it's content anyway and he has money and sponsors...........
                            Somebody has to do it

                              you have to suffer, 02 Dec 2023it won't snap because he didn't use the full powe... moreUhm he just said in the video he has no problem snapping phones in half. And he's tested other phones at the same or even higher price than the OP Open. The price has nothing to do with how he operates each test

                                    70% of Oneplus online communities right now are just posts sharing panel issue with their Open...

                                      it won't snap because he didn't use the full power of bending. the phone is just too expensive to break.

                                        Yet the panel has been broken for many people, even YouTubers, just after a month or so of use. Kinda shows you the 2nd rate cheap panel they use, while still charging you full premium price.
