Title: OnePlus’ First Foldable Phone Pales in Comparison to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 5
In an official statement, OnePlus has confirmed that its highly anticipated first foldable phone will not support stylus input, putting Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 5 ahead in this aspect. However, recent findings have revealed that the OnePlus Open does, in fact, support stylus input as it is a rebranded version of Oppo Find N3, which is compatible with the Oppo Pen.
Setting itself apart from Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold lineup, both Oppo and OnePlus foldables allow stylus input on both the inner and outer screens. Despite this, Samsung stands unrivaled in the Android landscape when it comes to stylus-related features, making the Galaxy Z Fold 5 the device of choice for those seeking the ultimate stylus experience.
One potential hurdle for OnePlus Open customers is the limited availability of the Oppo Pen, which may prove challenging to obtain as it is only sold in select markets. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 boasts advantages such as water resistance and wireless charging, features that the OnePlus Open lacks.
While the OnePlus Open does offer some benefits like a wider outer screen, faster wired charging, and a lower price, it is unlikely to compete with the overall experience provided by the Galaxy Z Fold 5. Real-world tests have consistently shown that Samsung’s foldable device outperforms the OnePlus Open.
On the software front, the OnePlus Open does incorporate many of the same features found in Samsung’s One UI interface. However, it remains to be seen whether these offerings will be sufficient to challenge the dominance of the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
As OnePlus enters the foldable phone market, it is clear that Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 5 maintains a significant lead in key areas. With its superior stylus capabilities, water resistance, wireless charging, and overall performance, Samsung’s device is currently the pinnacle of foldable smartphone technology. Meanwhile, OnePlus aims to carve out its own niche with distinctive features, competitive pricing, and a broader vision for the future. Only time will tell how successfully OnePlus can compete with Samsung’s dominance in the foldable smartphone arena.
