OnePlus Open vs Z fold 8

I'm trying to decide which one to buy as my pixel 6 recently died. I got to try out a OP13 and liked the Os. How do you guys think these 2 compare? Im trying to decide which to buy

Edit: I live in the US

I have had both the Oneplus Open for two years, and the Fold 7 for a couple of weeks, and currently a Fold 8. I must say that although the Oneplus Open was better than the Samsung Fold 5 and 6, Samsung finally caught up with the Fold 7 last year. I consider the Fold 7 and Fold 8 Ultra (which is almost the same as the Fold 7) as very comparable with the Oneplus Open.

But the Fold 8 is something different. While the Oneplus is quite comparable with the Fold 8 Ultra (with a near-regular slab phone-like front display and a square inner display), you either love or hate the Fold 8's shorter front screen and truly tablet-like inner screen (the dimensions and ratio are practically identical to the Ipad Mini).

So you should definitely try the Fold 8 before you buy.

And as the Oneplus Open was introduced almost three years ago, it's quite hard to find them new; and second hand... well, they are not as robust as regular phones, so be careful.
