OPPO Find N: Foldable Phone Made For the Masses
Day 2 of OPPO INNO Day 2021 – OPPO reveals its first foldable smartphone which will be available for sale in China as soon as 23rd December 2021. Although it is OPPO’s first foldable phone in the market, OPPO has gone through four years of intense R&D and 6 generations of prototypes before finally arriving at the OPPO Find N.
With prices starting as low as RMB 7,699 (~MYR 5225.24), OPPO is hoping to make the Find N more accessible to people as an everyday driver.
Key Highlights of the OPPO Find N
1. Flexion Hinge & FlexForm Mode
OPPO’s Flexion Hinge uses a unique water-drop design to solve two of the biggest pain points in foldable devices: the noticeable crease on the display and a gap between the display when folded. By widening the angle of the fold in the display and offering a buffer when the display folds OPPO is able to minimize visible crease by up to 80% when compared with other devices, according to TUV.
As a little bonus, the Flexion Hinge produces a lovely snap when folding and unfolding the display. Combined with its FlexForm technology, the Find N is able to freely stand sturdily when unfolded at any angle between 50-120 degrees.
2. Unique Landscape Ratio
When folded, the Find N is a relatively small device with a display that spans across 5.49 inches with a 18:9 aspect ratio. While it is not ideal for consuming media over an extended period of time on such a small display, the device feels comfortable when held and is perfect for one-hand usage. With this aspect ratio, users also won’t find themselves running into issues where apps are not optimized properly.
When unfolded, users will find themselves with a generous 7.1-inch display with an almost square 8.4:9 aspect ratio. The Find N unfolds directly into landscape mode so users can watch videos, play games or read books without the extra step of rotating the device.
3. Stunning Display
The Find N is equipped with a stunning LTPO AMOLED display both when folded and unfolded. To ensure a smooth experience without taking a toll on performance, the outer display is limited to a 60Hz refresh rate while the inner display has an adaptive 120Hz display with up to 1,000Hz touch sampling rate and 1,000 nits brightness.
The display has been tested to withstand being folded over 200,000 times while still maintaining an overall smooth folding experience with next to no crease.
4. Flagship Camera Set
Rest assure that OPPO has not cut any corners in the camera department. OPPO Find N owners will be glad to know that the device comes with a powerful 50MP Sony IMX 766 main sensor, a 16 MP ultra-wide lens and a 13 MP telephoto lens, as well as selfie cameras on both the inner and outer displays.
