Compared to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 5, not only does OnePlus’ first foldable pack two larger displays, it’s also thinner and lighter — as long as you don’t count the hulking camera module. The most impressive thing the Open is doing is putting pressure on the price of big foldables.

And if you’re more interested in Oppo’s new foldable… well, they’re pretty much the same device.

FCC’s restoration of Obama-era net neutrality protections progresses
