I'm glad that manufacturers are producing this aspect ratio of foldable. Its more appealing to me than the Z Fold style.

I don't think the Google foldable offers good value sadly. Hopefully this device is better, but I've been out of touch with OnePlus of late, and I have no idea how they are with updating devices.

Price will be the deciding factor between this and a Motorola Edge Plus 2013 for me.

OnePlus is ticking all the right boxes for me to invest in my first foldable. If they land the price (ideally the $1,399.99 or less that the Pixel Fold was rumored to be), it's a guaranteed buy for me.

From what I've read, OnePlus updates are slower than Samsung but faster than Motorola.

I want to get this phone, so I've been doing a lot of research about it. But man, this new design looks terrible compared to the old one.

[–] rdeets@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

Yeah, better than having a crappy screen. I don't remember which foldable I looked at, but one of them had a 60hz cover screen and the other had a 60hz INNER SCREEN! I'm happy that both screens are 120hz on this one.

I don't know what a ToF is, but it would be epic if it had a LiDAR.

Awesome, I was hoping for the Find N2 form factor. This will be my next phone depending on price
