If you fancy a folding phone then you\u2019ll want to pay attention to the brand new OnePlus Open, the first foldable from OnePlus. For several years, Samsung has been the only Android phone maker selling widely available phones that fold, but now OnePlus is here to steal the show.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 will take some beating – it\u2019s a very polished folding phone built on knowledge of four years of previous models – but the OnePlus Open looks very impressive indeed.<\/p>\n

Express.co.uk has had some time with the OnePlus Open and we are very impressed with it, especially as it\u2019s OnePlus\u2019s first ever try at the complicated folding tech.<\/p>\n

Here are five ways we think the OnePlus Open is better than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5.<\/p>\n

Screen sizes<\/h2>\n

Just like the Galaxy Z Fold 5, the OnePlus Open is a book-style folding phone. That means it has a screen on the outside when closed that is meant to act like a regular smartphone, but the device can then be opened like a book to reveal an inside screen that is like a small tablet computer.<\/p>\n

We much prefer the dimensions of both screens on the OnePlus Open compared to the Z Fold 5. That\u2019s because Samsung\u2019s outer screen is long and narrow, making it feel a bit like holding a TV remote control. It means typing is squashed and the keyboard is very small, and apps can be cut off or look squashed.<\/p>\n

The OnePlus Open has a normal size outer display that looks and acts normally. And when open (see what they did there?), the large 7.8-inch inside screen is more pleasant to use as you get an extra 0.2-inches of space.<\/p>\n
