Released a little over a year ago, the OnePlus Open is probably not the all-around best foldable phone money can buy this holiday season, but at the right price, its appeal is essentially guaranteed to eclipse that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 or Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
Marked down from $1,699.99 to $1,199.99 both before and during this year’s official Black Friday festivities both on its manufacturer’s US website and at Amazon, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 powerhouse is once again available at that exact same discount.
You don’t have to jump through any hoops or meet any kind of complicated requirements to save 500 bucks this time around either, but you do need to purchase the OnePlus Open directly from its makers and remember to apply the “HBD11” coupon code to your order before completing it for that killer discount to actually be reflected at checkout.
At $1,199.99, the OnePlus Open is obviously still not what we’d call a conventionally affordable handset, which makes perfect sense when you consider its decidedly unconventional 7.82-inch primary foldable display and 6.31-inch cover screen.
Both those panels come with state-of-the-art 120Hz refresh rate technology, and as our comprehensive OnePlus Open review shows, the design of this first-gen device is surprisingly refined, the battery life undoubtedly impressive, the charging speeds outright mind-blowing, and the camera capabilities pretty much as good as they get for book-style foldables in the US.
Yes, an undoubtedly improved OnePlus Open 2 is (more or less) around the corner, but for the time being, the OG OnePlus Open is sure hard to turn down, especially if you don’t expect to be able to afford a $1,700 or $1,800 foldable anytime soon.
