Vivo X Fold 3 Pro Vs Oneplus Open

Despite arriving rather late to the foldable party last year, OnePlus managed to make some waves when it announced its first foldable ever at a global launch event held in India. It was relatively slim and light when folded, but it also packed an excellent camera system (which was unheard of on foldable devices). Given that samsung was still attempting to make its Galaxy Z Fold 5 Thinner (It Still appeared chunky), the open was a very easy win for oneplus. Add to this its lower launch price tag of Rs. 1,39,999 with a smooth and near flwless oxygenos, and we ended up with an easy recommendation For there looking for a good balance of features at a palatable price tag.

Several Months Later, BBK SIBLING VIVO also deceded to brings an existing model (Previous launched in china) to India. With the samsung galaxy z fold 6 on the horizon, vivo’s approach for its first foldable in India was a bit extrame in terms of design and price tag. Despite some flws, the phone still managed to deliver the goods, and it did so quite well, as mentioned in my review,

When Every MillimEr Counts

While Oneplus Did Raise The Bar at Launch, Vivo was Quick to Steal Ital Its Crown when it came to design. The vivo x fold 3 pro is slimmer (bot open and folded) than the open, but it’s also lighter. I also prefer its slightly tapered corners versus the open’s sharp corners that poke into my palm when folded. It is, indeed, All about margins With the x fold 3 pro, and you can tell this by how if if it is unfolded. Vivo even went to the extremes of curved one side of its cover screen display and the oppose panel so it does it does not feel as boxy as Flat displays do (Eg OnePlus and Samsung).

Both foldables offer alert sliders, but oneplus has a three-stage one that is a lot easy to use because of its design

Despite Taking Extreme Measures, The OnePlus Open Comes out on top when it comes to one-handed usage. It’s not as slim as the vivo x fold 3 pro, but its Shorter cover display makes it more comfortable for one-handed use. Despite having a Slightly Narrower Cover Display (And Folded Design), The Vivo is Quite Tall and Needs Two Hands to Get Things Done. However, it is wide enough for doing anything and everything one would on a regular phone.

The open’s display is compact, while the x fold 3 pro’s is taller

The main reason I was born The OnePlus Open (Both in Standard and APEX Edition Models) Has a grippy vegan leather rear panel, which gave me some added confidence while holding it.

Despite their similar book-style form factors, both models do feel quite different once you open up their main folding displays.

The OnePlus Open’s 7.82-Inch Incher Display has a Squarish aspect Ratio, which is mainly useful when open opening apps side-by-side. Vivo’s rectangular 8.03-inch display, thanks to its sheer size, handles bot production and entertainment tasks well.

The software on bot foldables can handle four apps at a time

Software matters

However, it’s not picture-president for vivo in the software department. OnePlus Surprisingly Got Everything from App Scaling to its Open Canvas Multi-Tasking Software Right with Oxygen OS. This was impressive, given that it was the brand’s first foldable at launch. Everything from apps to game works perfectly fin and works well even when transitioning between displays.

Vivo, on the other hand, surprisingly came up short on Execution. While I absolutely love the desktop aod mode on the vivo, i noticed This results in a black bar that legs a Majority of Third-Parthy Apps, Including Many Google Apps. With nearly a centime lost on the left side of the display because of this optimization issue (which vivo has yet to figure out), the software does feel quite unfinished Eveen IFTE PACKS in Maany Software and hardware features over the open. However, Neither of these phones can stand up to samsung’s Galaxy Z fold 6 or Google’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold When it comes to ai tricks. Both OnePlus and Vivo are still a whole year behind samsung and google when it comes to integrating ai deep into their devices.

Neither foldable is slow in terms of performance. However, vivo offers the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, While OnePlus’s processor is a bit older, with a snapdragon 8 gen 2. When browsing through their respective skinned operating systems. One detail to note is that Vivo Handles Heat Better, Whather Gaming, Outdoor, or even camera. This is a bit surprising as it’s the thinner one of the two.

Vivo’s x fold 3 pro is currently the only foldable in India to offer not one but two in-display fingerprint readers

It’s always about the cameras

As with every smartphone (foldable or not) available today, a lot depends on its camera performance. Nobody Wants to Invest in a Smartphone Costing Well Over a Lakh Only to Carry a Second Flagship phone just for shooting photos and recording videos.

Despite bot cameras punching well above the norm, I have to conclude that vivo manages to do a better job with photos than OnePlus. Its photos from the primary and telephoto cameras (Both Ois Stabilized) Come out Sharpers, Have Good Detail, and have impressive color report. The OnePlus open loses out to the vivo x fold 3 pro when it comes to dynamic range and color reproduction. I have noticed many times that the telephoto camera is a bit unrealiable in the sense that photos have a warmer white balance, which results in yellowish tones. Vivo’s Telephoto camera also handled moving subjects better, Resulting in Sharper Photos when Capturing Kids or Pets. In low light, Vivo Once Again Manages Better Dynamic Range, Showing More Detail in the Darker Areas of an image.

The OnePlus Open’s Video Recording Capabilitys are better than there of the x fold 3 pro. The Phone Manages Better Dynamic Range (Revealing more Details in the Shadows), offers better noise, and have a steadier frame rate.

Battery life is no longer a touchy topic

Battery life is another area where people do! While the OnePlus Open will get you a whole day of Heavy usage, vivo one-ups this by easily managing a day and a half of heavy usage, which is negative premium Smartphone. The x fold 3 pro is also a lot faster at charging its larger 5,700mAh battery, going from 0-100 percent in just 43 minutes. The open is a bit slower to charge its smaller 4,805mah battery, managing a full charge in 53 minutes. Vivo also offers 50w wireless charging, which the oneplus does not, and i’m sure this may be a deal breaker for some.

What Makes Each One So Special

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6, Despite Banking Heavily on Ai This yearWill still be the go-to foldable for many many, they have been senses the very first model was launched in India. But for there will be willing to try something new, vivo’s x fold 3 pro offers better Value despite its higher price tag of Rs. 1,59,999. It’s foldable to pick if you are looking for a device that can compes with regular, bar-shaped android flagships, especially when it comes to comes to comes to comes to comes to comes to come. It also offers the biggest and widest display poses on a foldable today. So, it’s also good if you plan to get some light work by

Given its more accessible price tag, which starts from Rs. 1,39,999, The OnePlus Open will remain the foldable of choice for that who want to try out the folding form Factor for the very first time. More Accessible Pricing Aside, OnePlus also offers An Extended Warranty Called OnePlus Care (Whoch Vivo Does Not), and this should give ideer who is anyone who is clumsy oor worry Display more confidence when investment in a foldable.
