I think it's just going to be taller
My thinking is let's keep working with what we have now and work our price down a little bit instead of adding more to the lineup
My thoughts exactly! There's always the Flip if a potential buyer wants a more affordable foldable option.
Yes, sir either get a flip or a tablet plus I feel like if the price comes down a little bit with their trade-in values someone that really wants to go in and give it a go
Hopefully next year Samsung have caught up with the Chinese brands on battery/thickness. Then they could just keep selling the 6, or a 7FE that is just a tweaked 6 as the "budget" model

Not sure if this has been discussed. But seems strange for OnePlus doing a slight revision when supposedly they are planning on releasing OnePlus Open 2 at the beginning of the year. I'm curious... what's the strategy behind this? I know Apple had brought out different colorways midcycle for their iPhones.
But this new OnePlus Open is rumored to be adding additional RAM.

I'm thinking we're not going to see that in the US? That's a nice looking red though lol
When OnePlus launches a product it is normally released in the US… if it was OPPO then perhaps it would be a different situation.
And yeah, I’d like to see a red Galaxy Fold… I recall I bought a red iPhone (or maybe it was the iPod Touch) back when Apple had the “Product Red” campaign.
I use this Aukey one though no longer on Amazon where I purchased
I see it at Walmart now and I like that it has the flip out for placing on the table

While all decent recommendations for portable chargers ... they're good for a single device when you factor in from dead to full charge.
Being a student again and in particular having now power for the week I couldn't stand having to leave, travel 10 stops to a library or Tim Horton's (hoping the single charging port isn't used or blocked off by people eating) any longer.
Instead I picked up this bad boy! it isn't even their top of the line and its not as heavy as I expected, and a LOT smaller than I expected.
Anker 737 24000mAh Power Bank
140W full with 1 USB-C connected device.
140W total if using both USB-C connected devices: split between the two.
22W for the USB-A port. If that's used then 1 USB-C port will top out at 100 W.
> YES it can charge 3 devices simultaneously.
> YES it can even trickle charge one or all 3 ports.
> it came with a short 100W capable USB-C to USB-C cable too - but I have 2x 6ft Anker 100W USB-C 2.0 cables from 2 months ago.
NOTE: using my lenovo 65W adapter gets INSANELY hot charging it while the Anker 737 keeps super cool. Selling my Lenovo charger Tuesday and will be buying the AnkerPrime 100W GaN charger.
From 59% I was able to fully charge my Lenovo X1 Yoga 4th Gen 55Whr laptop from completely dead and my 13% Galaxy S23 to both full before it fully being drained. Its been a game changer and life saver!
That Ali-Express blue MagSafe-like charger I bought for my iPhone 13 mini in January 2023 is DEAD - it'll top out charging at 80% but will not charge anything via Qi or USB-C conneted, it just blinks 5x and auto powers off.
5000mAh is now a change magnet in my knapsack. lol.
You do know that Oppo owns OnePlus and the Find N3 is the OnePlus Open through and through - including that Red one OnePlus will soon deliver. I posted the N3 version several months ago in this very thread I believe (YT video).
To me THAT was the Open's killer feature, even more than the multi-tasking implementation or dock. Unfortunately I'm not finding any good in-depth reviews of out of box software nor in using it - as an actual device (not this part and parcel specific points). THIS is why MOST people stick to a phone they've settled into because they have no idea what USING a competing device is really like.
The Find N4 / Open 2 WILL be a serious kit with that SnapDragon 8 Gen 4 and together with the Fold 7 BOTH will be the litmus paper reference for the competition for a really balanced use.
Well, I'm glad I didn't go caseless (as tempting as it was). Fold6 had slipped out of my shorts pocket somehow and as I exited the car I felt something hit my shoe and next thing I know my phone is face down on the parking lot asphalt!
Fortunately, no damage to the phone itself and no scratches on the screen protector either due to the raised lip of the Samsung S Pen case. However, the impact left an abrasion on one of the corners and rubbed off the dark blue of th3 case, revealing black underneath. I've barely had the phone two weeks. Oh well, it was bound to happen and that's what cases are for.

Great to hear no damage on the phone and the case did it's job .. I just got my
S pen case this evening
Early review on the S pen case from Samsung.. Nice fit no lifting my screen protector on the front. I wish the left side while close was a little lower so that the gestures from the left side would trigger easier but at least the right hand side is good. I have to get used to releasing the S pen a little bit lol.. need some muscle memory. Overall the case feels good other than a little slippery..

The OnePlus Open Apex Edition gives a red-hot twist to our favorite foldable
The OnePlus Open Apex Edition in a new red-hot colorway is now official
That’s thing with a fold line the UI is just so polished.
I can see why people prefer it in the foldable line
You hit it 100% on the nose. UI and all the tweaks really make it stand out.
My plan is wait a few phones and get a fold 6 on a good deal. Or see what this galaxy slim is about in October.
Everything is running great on mine. Battery has been fantastic and OneUI is smooth as butter as it is on my S24U. Pixel Fold sent in for trade in. BUT, in typical me fashion, I let my curiosity get the best of me and found a deal on a gently used OnePlus Open on Swappa that I couldn't pass up. Thinking I'm gonna run the Open on my personal line and ZF6 on my business line. The 15PM is sitting on the sidelines right now as I have RCS up and running on my wife and kids' iPhones. I just don't feel tied to it anymore even though I still love the camera and many things about iOS. I'll probably keep it, the S24U, and P8P around for the cameras for concerts/vacations/sports events, but I really enjoy using a foldable full time and am looking forward to trying the OnePlus Open form factor.
You got yourself a nice little stable there my friend. I've always wanted to give that OnePlus a try maybe sometime down the road. You're really going to get to enjoy the foldables side by side now ...
Yea I've heard too much good about it and figured I had to give it a try. I'm likely done until the Open 2 next year 😆
I wouldn't buy an Open at full price right now but if you find the right deal on Swappa it might be worth giving it a shot. I'll give my thoughts after I use it for a bit. I can always relist it on Swappa if its not to my liking.

I'm looking forward to your thoughts.. I'm going to try to enjoy this fold 6 for now haha..
