Galaxy Z Fold 6 vs OnePlus Open

The Open costs $200 less and lists double the base storage: 512GB against 256GB on the Fold6. Samsung's 512GB variant is $2,019, which widens the gap at matched capacity.

The Open's inner panel is 0.22 inches larger, lists a higher resolution in both directions and 200 more nits of peak brightness. Both refresh at 120Hz, but only the Open lists LTPO panel technology.

Samsung's foldable lists a full generation newer chip than the OnePlus, which launched in October 2023 against July 2024 for the Fold6. Both are 8-core 4nm parts.

The Open carries 4GB more RAM — a third more capacity using the same LPDDR5X memory type. That matters most for split-screen and multi-window use, which is the main strength of a book-style foldable.

Both phones carry a 3x optical telephoto with stabilisation, but the Open uses much higher-resolution secondary sensors — a 48MP ultrawide and 64MP telephoto versus 12MP and 10MP on the Fold6 — plus a 32MP front camera against 10MP. The Fold6 counters with a slightly higher-resolution 50MP main sensor and 8K video, while the Open tops out at 4K60.

The Open has 405 mAh more capacity and charges at 67W wired versus 25W — more than double the rated speed. The trade-off is wireless: the Fold6 lists 15W wireless and reverse wireless charging, while the OnePlus lists neither.

Samsung's published commitment runs three years longer on OS updates and two years longer on security patches. The Fold6 also launched later, on Android 14 with One UI 6.1.1, against Android 13 with OxygenOS 13.2 for the Open.

The Fold6 lists an 8 for water and a 4 for dust, while the Open lists a 4 for water and no dust rating (X). Both numbers point to a meaningful gap in how much exposure each phone is rated to handle.

Which phone has the bigger inner display?

The OnePlus Open lists a 7.82-inch LTPO AMOLED panel at 2440 x 2268 with 2,800 nits of peak brightness. The Galaxy Z Fold6 lists a 7.6-inch AMOLED panel at 1856 x 2160 with 2,600 nits. Both refresh at 120Hz.

Which phone charges faster?

The OnePlus Open supports 67W wired charging against 25W on the Galaxy Z Fold6, and it also lists a larger 4,805 mAh battery versus 4,400 mAh. Wireless charging goes the other way: the Fold6 lists 15W wireless and reverse wireless charging, while the Open lists none.

Which phone will receive updates for longer?

The Galaxy Z Fold6 is listed with 7 years of OS updates and 7 years of security updates. The OnePlus Open is listed with 4 years of OS updates and 5 years of security updates, and it launched earlier — October 2023 versus July 2024.

Which camera system is more versatile?

Both phones include a 3x optical telephoto, but the OnePlus Open pairs it with a 48MP ultrawide and a 64MP telephoto sensor, against 12MP and 10MP on the Galaxy Z Fold6, plus a 32MP front camera versus 10MP. The Fold6 responds with a 50MP main sensor versus 48MP and 8K video recording at 30fps, which the Open does not list.

Is the OnePlus Open cheaper than the Galaxy Z Fold6?
