Hmmm.. care to elaborate? Are you moving closer to the side of OnePlus Canvas feature than the 3 window grid of Galaxy Fold?
Got a tip for us?

Yeah the whole 3 screens with the same viewing experience is good. I do wish though you would get the option to have it like the Z fold though just to give an added choice. I do like how you can have the bigger screen on the bottom and hear content if you need to on the above screen
I wouldn‘t be surprised if Samsung adds that to MultiStar in a future update.
It only takes the community in Samsung Members to request that feature and people co-sign on it. Then perhaps Samsung might implement it.
Still need to test, first day off tomorrow so will try and go for some walks to test it out
Will likely do a 4 way test with
15 pro max, pixel 8 pro and Xiaomi 13 ultra on X soon
How does the Open compare to your Fold 5 in general? Which one do you prefer?
It’s very good
The crease really isn’t there or never seems like it is. Reflection wise it’s really good where Z fold struggles on certain lighting.
I prefer the one plus due to the outer screen, brighter screen and the multitasking is better I would say. Both are great in that area though
I think I also prefer the Open in use. It’s fast and smooth with good battery life. It’s better than I expected. I miss the option of using Good Lock to refine things, but am OK with the lack of wireless charging.
With the mystery box 160w charger it charged the open from 0-100% in 40 mins. Can’t go wrong with that
I really like it. Very fluid and intuitive. It's come a long way from Android several years ago.
For those who are interested I did a test between the one plus SUPERVOOC 160w power brick vs the 80w that came with my one plus open and the results show 80w actually charging slightly faster
160w- 0% to 100% in 40 minutes
80w- 0% to 100% in 39 minutes
160w- 0% to 100% in 40 minutes
80w- 0% to 100% in 39 minutes
Really enjoyable to be honest. Really smooth and animations are really good
Seems like the 160W is overkill unless you are using it in conjunction with a laptop or something more meaty.
Pretty much, will keep it at home and the 80w in my work bag
I'm curious:
1. Does this cloning of apps basically like dropping an app in a virtualization folder and running it?
^ more importantly how does this affect 8Gen2 processes and system RAM? Also is there limited apps to support this, as its interesting the 'tuber' choose WhatsApp an app known to have supported sketchy practices for cheaters/alternative-services-providers etc. (its not uncommon for the latter to use Samsungs' Secure Folder to have completely separate instance of WhatsApp running therein. I have never nor never will need to do this).
Well tomorrow I'll search for an existing thread and if non-exists I'll get it started, if you haven't already.
Personally I'd like to see MUCH more RAM in the Z Fold & upcoming S24U series (starting at 10/12/16GB RAM with 512/1TB/2TB UFS4.5/5 storage. Also faster charging and at least 500mAh more battery capacity. Brighter screens yet KEEPING minute screen brightness scaling for manual control.
Im using two of the same app using Parallel App on the phone. No issues with RAM or performance. Seems to be working well. Just a couple of annoying ads when you start Parallel App.
I've had the OnePlus Open for about three weeks now, and I must say, it has pleasantly surprised me. The first thing that struck me was its incredibly lightweight build. This makes carrying and using it exceptionally comfortable, especially compared to previous smartphones I've owned.
One aspect that truly impressed me is its enhanced multitasking capability. It seems like this device is designed to seamlessly switch between apps. Compared to my previous Galaxy Fold, the OnePlus Open performs significantly better in this aspect, allowing me to work more efficiently and be more productive throughout the day.
The screen of the OnePlus Open also deserves commendation. Not only is it large, but it's also exceptionally sharp. The brightness this screen can achieve is impressive. Even in bright sunlight, I can easily see everything on the screen, which is a massive advantage for outdoor use.
Overall, the OnePlus Open has exceeded my expectations. The combination of its light weight, flawless multitasking, and the fantastic screen makes it a smartphone I would absolutely recommend to others. It has truly enhanced my daily user experience, and I'm looking forward to further exploration with this fantastic device.

Interesting… would you care to give me an example of task that you performed or scenario of this?
I wish this phone or the Oppo version would become available here in Spain. Sounds great and really want to try it out.
You sound like BengalBoy from an old forum HowardForums, for some reason.
I'll second the question what apps and tasks did you do that was more productive using the OnePlus Ipen vs Z Fold 5?
