Hey, what’s up? Sami here.
So this is OPPO's first foldable phone - the OPPO Find N.
I bet most of you have watched some reviews from those big YouTubers
and have a general idea of the good and bad of the Find N more or less.
Nevertheless, here is my conclusion of the device,
I think it is the best foldable phone so far. Period.
Let me try to walk you through everything about it.
Start with the design. Just like the Huawei Mate X2, it has the display on the inside. When you
fold it, it turns from a 7.1” tablet-style device into a phone, a 5.49” mini size phone. We have
the volume rocker and a side-mounted fingerprint recognition scanner on two sides. Then is the OPPO
Find X3 style back design, which I really like. Moving on we can see the well-polished smooth
hinge part. OPPO says it withstands 200k times of folding, if you fold 100 times a day, you
can fold straight for 5.4 years. I don’t know why you want to fold 100 times a day unless you have
seizures? Just kidding. On top we have the mic and antenna, while at the bottom are the type-c port,
the SIM Card slot, and the dual stereo speaker, here’s the sound if you want to know.
Regarding the specs, the Oppo Find N is powered by a Snapdragon 888 chipset with
12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The outer 5.49” display
is an AMOLED panel with Gorilla Glass Victus protection. It has a resolution of 1,972 x 988
px and a standard refresh rate of 60 Hz. The inner 7.1” display has 1,792 x 1,920 px resolution and a
1-120 Hz refresh rate. The battery capacity is 4,500 mAh, surprisingly big given its petite size,
and it supports 33W wired and 15W wireless charging, oh, plus 10W reverse charging.
How can we miss the camera? The phone is equipped with a total of five cameras – three
on the back and two selfie cams (one on each screen). This being a foldable means that you
can use the main cameras for a selfie too. Speaking of, the wide camera features a 50MP
Sony IMX766 sensor. It is joined by a 16 MP ultra-wide and a 13 MP telephoto cameras.
We just took some photos inside the OPPO INNO Day venue, here they are. Though don’t have much time
to go deep with it, I think it’s definitely flagship level and enough for daily tasks.
And speaking of that, sure there are some innovative software side optimizations OPPO
has made just to make sure your daily tasks go even smoother. You can swipe
from the top to split the screen in half, on one side is where the previous App left, you can also
open a new app！Just imagine I’m working on one side and at the same time flirting with girls on
the other side, that would be awesome! And you can adjust the size of each side. Also when you
clear the App, the previous one still remains the same splitting status as the video shows.
One other great feature I forgot to demo is the free suspension, not sure how OPPO call
officially, I just translate from the Chinese name, meaning you can use half screen to display
the content, while the other half act as a support. So you can free your hands while you
are listening to music, watching movies, working out, or even use it to take videos by yourself,
but yeah, make sure other people don’t steal it, because it’s such a good phone.
Now to answer why I think this is the best foldable phone so far.
I know it’s still not perfect, like some Apps still need some time to optimize
to match the screen perfectly, but still, it’s the best on the market today. Firstly,
the OPPO Find N just nailed the size and weight. For the size, you can hold it one hand
either folded or unfolded. The 275g by far is the best weight you can get from a foldable phone.
The moment you hold in your hand you know you can use just like a normal phone, that’s my first
impression. Secondly, is the comfortable design. Finally, there is no strange aspect ratio on a
foldable phone. No gap or annoying crease there, at least I didn’t notice any of those.
Thirdly, I have to mention is the unbelievable price, it’s on the screen, you can check it out.
Currently, this device is only available in China but I’m pretty sure will be available globally.
This video sounds like an ad for OPPO, though OPP didn’t pay me. I’m just too excited about this
device. With a normal flagship phone price, you can get the newest cool foldable phone,
who doesn’t want it? For me, I really appreciate OPPO’s huge effort in populating this innovative
tech to let everyone enjoy a better life. I’m Sami and I will see you in the next one.
