Foldable smartphones are often prohibitively expensive. The best foldable smartphones usually start at around $1,800 or $1,900, and prices only rise as you upgrade the storage. I don’t know about you, but I’m not about to spend nearly two grand on a phone. The OnePlus Open price is a bit more reasonable at $1,700, but right now, you can get it much cheaper at $1,300. That’s a $400 discount and the lowest we’ve seen this phone go for.
This deal is available from Amazon. There is no sign of this being part of a specific sale or campaign, so we’re not sure how long the offer will last. We do know, however, that this is a record-low price for the OnePlus Open. It has never dropped this low.
OnePlus Open
A debut foldable phone with great hardware
The OnePlus Open brings what might be the best hardware on a foldable phone and enough clever software tricks to turn heads. It pairs top-end internals with some of OPPO's careful trial-and-error to create a debut foldable phone that hardly feels like a first attempt. Add in a competitive asking price, and the OnePlus Open just might give other foldables a run for their money.
While the OnePlus Open is much less popular than flagship foldables like the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold or the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, it is actually a pretty awesome device. We gave it a solid review, and had very few things to complain about. Mainly, that it has no wireless charging and only features an IPX4 rating.
Otherwise, the OnePlus Open is actually a surprisingly great foldable phone. The design is refined, looking and feeling great. Performance is worthy of a 2023 flagship, as it comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and 16GB of RAM. And in a world of foldable smartphones with lackluster cameras, seeing a pretty solid camera system on the OnePlus Open was certainly refreshing.

Of course, the screens matter a bunch here, so let’s go over those details. The OnPlus Open has a 7.82-inch internal display, and a 6.31-inch outer screen. Both are LTPO3 Flexi-fluid AMOLED panels with a 120Hz refresh rate and high resolutions of 2,268 x 2,440 and 1,116 x 2,484, respectively.
Another great thing about the phone is that, despite it not having wireless charging, it’s actually a great performer in other areas of the battery department. Battery life is pretty awesome, as we averaged over six hours of screen-on time. Additionally, the 67W wired charging is very fast. We were able to charge it from zero to 100% in just 41 minutes!
Want in on this deal? Remember, this is a record-low price, and those don’t stick around for long. We might see the price return to normal soon, so act quickly!
