Unleash the Power of Folding: Oppo Find N2 Flip
The Oppo Find N2 Flip is a sleek Android convertible ready to lock horns with Samsung’s revered Z Flip 4. For the first time ever, Oppo has decided to release its first folding flip phone beyond the confines of China, making it a global sensation in the making.
The phone’s magnificent metal and glass frame is an instant attention-grabber, but what really sets it apart is the colossal 6.8-inch display that mimics a standard smartphone when flipped open. In addition, Oppo’s genius hinge design lends itself to a unique “water drop” formation at the centre of the OLED display instead of the usual seamless loop.
What’s the advantage, you ask? This nifty feature ensures that the radius of the fold isn’t too tight, effectively reducing the appearance of unsightly creases when the display is unfurled. Although the screen isn’t entirely flat, the crease is much less severe and intrusive than in previous foldable phones.
Availability
The only Oppo Find N2 Flip model in India has 8GB of RAM (LPDDR5) and 256GB of storage (UFS 3.1). However, the SIM tray can only hold two nano-SIM cards. Hence the latter cannot be upgraded. Oppo’s Find N2 Flip can be purchased for Rs. 89,999.
Design
The Oppo Find N2 Flip boasts a whopping 6.8-inch screen that splits in half, giving it a unique and functional edge. And if you’re looking for a phone that not only performs but looks great, the Astral Black model is a sight to behold, with a chic matte finish that conceals fingerprints and exudes sophistication. Alternatively, the Moonlit Purple option is equally breathtaking, with a higher gloss finish that screams elegance.
But it’s not just about looks – the Oppo Find N2 Flip’s aluminium body is built to last. So while it may be flat and polished, making it prone to scratches, its dual SIM tray, USB Type-C connector, and speaker are all conveniently located at the bottom of the frame, while holes for the auxiliary microphone adorn the top. And for those moments when facial recognition just won’t cut it, the fingerprint sensor nestled inside the power button is a saviour.
Perhaps the most intriguing feature of this phone is the new Flexion hinge from Oppo. Designed to reduce the dreaded crease that often plagues folding displays, it’s quickly becoming a hot topic among tech enthusiasts. When the phone is folded, the right side is home to both the volume rocker and power button/fingerprint scanner, making it easy to access. And despite weighing just 191g, the Find N2 Flip feels luxurious to the touch, with a glossy texture that’s sensitive and smooth (although it can be a tad slippery). So if you’re looking for a phone that combines style and function, the Oppo Find N2 Flip might be your new best friend.
Display
Oppo Find N2 Flip’s outside display steals the show. First, you’ll be wowed by the largest vertically foldable screen to date – a staggering 3.26 inches! Boasting an AMOLED screen that’s razor sharp (720×382 pixels) and refreshes at 60 hertz, it can even reach a maximum brightness of up to 800 nits, complete with a protective film already applied. But wait, there’s more! With such an enormous screen, you can easily conquer tasks without unfolding the phone.
Unfolded, the inner display has a stunning full-HD+ resolution (2520 x 1080), complete with a peak refresh rate of 120Hz (1Hz to 120Hz changeable) and up to 1600 nits of peak brightness. In addition, the ultra-thin glass (UTG) layer ensures durability, while the barely noticeable crease makes the screen appear more like a subtle dimple as you glide your finger up and down. Whether you use it half-folded or at any angle within the allowed range, the Oppo Find N2 Flip will amaze you!
Camera
The cameras of the Oppo Find N2 Flip benefit from Oppo’s own specialised image processor, the MariSilicon X. While shooting in Pro mode, the camera’s colours are fine-tuned thanks to a partnership with Hasselblad. You’ll have access to XPan mode, an orange shutter button, and specialised Master filters developed in collaboration with Hasselblad brand advocates. The Find N2 Flip’s main rear camera can be pointed in your direction when folded, allowing you to take better selfies by using the cover screen as a viewfinder. Strangely, the cover screen widget only supports recording in 1080p, and switching between resolutions is not an option.
The primary sensor on the back camera is a 50-megapixel Sony IMX890. Although having an 8-megapixel Sony IMX355 sensor, the ultra-wide camera lacks focusing and macro functionality. You don’t get a telephoto lens, but the digital zoom is 20 times the original image size. The 32-megapixel Sony IMX709 sensor powers the foldable screen’s built-in selfie camera. However, it does have 2x magnification in place of autofocus.
Battery
The Find N2 Flip’s 4,300mAh battery is rather huge for a device of its size, and it charges quickly (for a brick) with the bundled 44W charger. Nevertheless, it does not support wireless charging or have an official IP rating. The phone’s haptics and stereo speakers are also impressive for such a tiny gadget. The hardware, in general, is top-notch.
Software
The Oppo Find N2 Flip’s operating system is ColorOS 13, a souped-up version of Android 13 that’s got some impressive features. You can expect “major” upgrades for four whole years, and security updates will be rolling in for five years. But let’s talk about the real meat and potatoes here – the user interface. It’s got all the bells and whistles you’ve come to expect from Oppo smartphones, with a few exclusive additions that are sure to tickle your fancy. And you can customise the outside display to your heart’s desire by tinkering with the ‘Foldable feature’ menu in the Settings app.
Performance
The Oppo Flip N2 is not rocking a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor like expected. Instead, this baby is powered by the mighty MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ SoC. But don’t fret. This isn’t a bad thing. MediaTek is known for producing some top-performing processors, and their flagship 4nm Dimensity 9000+ can even give the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 a run for its money. Sure, it may not be quite as powerful as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, but it’s no slouch, either.
Conclusion
The Find N2 Flip is not messing around and is giving Samsung a run for their money in many respects. You’ll love the practicality of the external display, which is a game-changer regarding usability. And let’s not forget about the lightning-fast charging speeds that will have you up and running in no time. But wait, there’s more! The higher-resolution primary camera will make your jaw drop, delivering stunning images that will impress. These are just a few reasons you should consider making the Oppo Find N2 Flip your go-to device. So what are you waiting for? Join the foldable revolution today!
