Hi guys, I'm seeking advice from fellas who've been in similar situation before and have bought either of the above-mentioned devices.

I have used Samsung's Fold 2 extensively for about 1.5 years before both the screens gave way in September last year. I got a Google Pixel 8 Pro as a replacement but I JUST CAN'T go back to normal slab phones anymore. Excels and pdfs on foldables are just a bliss to glide through and even after 4 months with my Pixel 8 Pro, I cant get used to it. So it's up for sale and will be soon pulling the trigger on either of these.
Also, cant seem to find any substantial leaks/rumours online regarding the Open 2; so don't know if I should wait for the next refresh from Oneplus if and when it arrives
 
Did you tried screen replacement. How much does it costs? Is it advisable to replace the screen because of these questions un-answered haven't pulled trigger to buy a foldable. And yours seem to went kaput in a mere 1.5 yrs

Screen replacement for even a gen 2 product is around 40K (inner screen) and around 15K for the cover. This is from Samsung Authorised service center.

Option 1: sell pixel 8 pro and get screens replaced.
Option2: wait for next Fold. If you cannot wait and don’t want to fix fold 2, get the Oneplus Open.

Get the OPO as it should cheaper now, it should be worthwhile to get the care package with the foldables. For slightly higher price, I would recommend the xfold 3 global which is launched in India. It has arguably better cameras and the latest & greatest specs. I really like the vivo image processing.
