OnePlus Open folding smartphone
CNET / OnePlus

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. 

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

The 7.8-inch, 2K, AMOLED internal display has a 120Hz refresh rate and is larger than the original Google Pixel Fold (though a touch smaller than the Pixel 9 Pro Fold's). It also has a large 4,800-mAh battery and supports 67-watt fast charging, which can get you to 100% in less than an hour.

In the market for a new phone but unsure if the OnePlus Open is right for you? Check out our full roundup of all the best Black Friday phone deals for savings on Apple, Samsung and Google models. Verizon and T-Mobile are also offering their own Black Friday offers, so be sure to check those out too if you're a customer of either carrier.

Why this deal matters

It's not often that you see a $500 discount on a new smartphone. These discounts are often limited to outdated models, but the OnePlus Open is a new smartphone with solid specs, so it's a pretty extraordinary discount. The smartphone is also guaranteed four major Android updates and five years of security updates, so you should get some longevity out of your investment.
