A Samsung display could put this device in Samsung/Apple tier territory real quick if they price it right and at least match Samsung on software updates.
The Open is quickly becoming what the Pixel Fold should have been.

Compared to Google, I think the SOC that will make it stand apart from the Pixel Fold. The Tensor 2 chip was still based on Exynos, so having the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will put it up against Samsung almost immediately.
Compared to Samsung, it will likely come down to a boring iteration with relatively dependable QC vs a device pushing the boundaries of the genre with potentially less dependable QC.
I do think the Open could become the Foldable for ROM junkies. I think that market will prefer the SD over the Tensor.
I'm really leaning into buying a OnePlus Open when they come out, depending on price.
I currently have an iPhone 12 Pro Max, which is starting to act like a three-year-old phone.
With the price hikes, the iPhone 15 Pro Max could be within $100-$200 of the Open, if OnePlus decides to price the Open closer to the Oppo Find N2 rather than the Samsung Galaxy Fold.
So... $1,199 for an iPhone 15 Pro Max with an outdated screen, still no touchID, and no mute switch, or...
Possibly ~ $1,099 - $1,399 for a OnePlus Open for what will be the largest foldable on the market with the latest hinge tech, fingerprint scanner, and a mute switch.
I'll likely pick up a cheap Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Classic LTE to use until the Watch6 Classic comes down in price next year.
It was a similar thing when they killed off their voters with Covid… Costing Trump his second term and derailing their own 2022 “red wave”.
Foresight isn’t exactly the GQP’s strong suit.
God forbid someone aggregates links to a link aggregation platform.
Oh, whatever shall we do?
Is there a list of community approved labels?
I’m not seeing one or a link to one on the sidebar.
1 in 30 American children were homeless as of 2013.
The report was released in November 2014 by the National Center on Family Homelessness at American Institutes for Research. Between 2012 and 2013, the rate of homelessness among children rose by 8% nationally. “That means that 1 in 30 American children—2.5 million—were homeless in 2013,” Dr. Bassuk, founder and former president of The National Center on Family Homelessness, said. “These are historically high rates.
Those were 2013 numbers. Pandemic numbers eclipsed those.
The United States:
"First world" nation or "shit hole" country?
We have everything we need to be the former.
Our (GOP) politicians religiously ensure that we remain the latter.
Same here and same phone. My 12PM has been starting to slow down increasingly for about the last 6 months, but my battery capacity has stayed steady at 89% throughout that time.
I'm torn between getting a Galaxy S23 Ultra when they get deeply discounted, a Motorola Edge Plus 2023, or a OnePlus open. I would have considered the Motorola RAZR Plus 2023 if it had the same SOC as the Edge Plus 2023.
The Galaxy Fold/Flip 5s seem to be barely iteratively better than last gen, so those are a pass until Samsung decides how it wants to handle competition from Google and OPPO.
The Pixel 7 Pro QC issues and the Tensor 3 still being based on Exynos while the Tensor 2 is slower than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 have made me decide against the Pixel 8 Pro and the Pixel Fold.
I think I'm going to pick up a cheap Galaxy Watch 4 Classic to replace my Apple Watch until the Galaxy Watch 6 comes down in price in 2024 or hopefully the Pixel Watch 2 can compete.
Isn't that half of the point of a social link aggregation and discussion platform?

You can't separate the country from the pandemic, as I have previously proven.

TL;DR: You might want to recalibrate your compass.
I agree about wanting the phone.
While the earlier renders were considerably sleeker, I'm fine with the added bulkiness look considering that they went with Samsung screens last minute, and it looks like it will have either a Time-of-Flight (ToF) and/or a LiDAR sensor in the camera.
