It seems like the OnePlus Open is not completely flat when unfolded, but it’s not far from it. Folks over at Android Authority decided to check what’s the situation with that, as the phone seems to be a bit off in that regard.
The OnePlus Open does not unfold to a completely flat state, but it’s close to it
According to the info shared by the source, the OnePlus Open unfolds at an angle of about 178-179 degrees, which is 1-2 degrees shy of being completely flat. Needless to say, that’s a negligible difference.
I’ve also noticed that it’s not perfectly flat, but not many people would, to be quite honest. The difference here really is negligible, and it’s not something that will/should bother you one bit, even if you do notice it.
The non-flat state is a lot more noticeable on the Google Pixel Fold
Now, do note that the Google Pixel Fold doesn’t exactly unfold to a completely flat state either. In fact, that difference is much more noticeable on the Pixel Fold. The thing is, you can force the Pixel Fold to be fully flat, but that’s not something we’d recommend doing.
The Galaxy Z Fold 4 had the same problem, though it seems like Samsung resolved that with the Galaxy Z Fold 5. That device seems to unfold to a fully flat state.
This likely won’t bother you, though
Once again, this is just nitpicking. Chances are that most people won’t be bothered even by the Pixel Fold’s noticeable lack of flatness, let alone a 1-2-degree difference on the OnePlus Open.
As a reminder, we’ve already reviewed that smartphone, and at the time of writing this article, we’re in the middle of reviewing its twin brother, the OPPO Find N3.
It turns out that the OnePlus Open is a fantastic smartphone, and a contender for the smartphone of the year. OnePlus/OPPO really did manage to create something noteworthy here, nitpicking aside.
