Frequently asked
How many Android updates will the Magic 6 Pro get?
It launched with a promise of roughly 4 OS upgrades and 5 years of security patches; the newer 7-year policy does not apply retroactively.
What chipset powers the Magic 6 Pro?
It uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the top Android chip of its generation.
How usable is the OnePlus Open's cover screen?
Very usable. The 6.31-inch outer display has near-normal phone proportions, so you can use the Open closed like a regular phone and only unfold to the 7.82-inch inner screen when you want more space.
Is the OnePlus Open water resistant?
Only partly. It carries an IPX4 rating, meaning it resists splashes and light rain but has no official dust protection and should not be submerged.
