Foldable phones are on trend right now, and now is the perfect time to upgrade your smartphone with loads of Black Friday deals going on. The OnePlus Open is already less expensive than that of many other folding phones, but if you order one right now, you can save an extra $500 off that retail price, dropping it down to just $1,200. You can shop this deal through OnePlus directly, or snag it for the same price during Amazon’s Black Friday sale right now.
The OnePlus Open is one of the best foldable phones we’ve tested, especially for those looking for a non-Samsung or Google option. It comes equipped with the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor as the OnePlus 11 but also boasts a huge 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It’s powered by Android 13 and has 5G for fast and reliable cell performance.
