Oppo is flirting with the idea of a foldable smartphone for 4 years, presenting so far no less than 6 prototypes in technological fairs.Today has debuted the first version that will be officially marketed by the company in the form of Oppo Find N. which offers this first foldable and more important model, how much it costs, in the lines below.
Design and Display
Compared to other foldable models, Oppo finds N comes with an exterior display with 18: 9 appearance.In contrast, Galaxy Z Fold3 from Samsung is delivered with a 25: 9 appearance screen, and Mi Mix Fold from Xiaomi has a 27: 9 exterior panel.Find N has a curved outer display of only 5.49 inches diagonally, being a fairly compact foldable model, very close as a design of a conventional model.The selfie room is integrated into the bullet cut, and inside there is a 7.1 -inch display diagonally with 8.4: 9, almost square.We are talking about a model that weighs 275 grams, with aluminum frame and glass lid.Its body measures 132.6 x 140.2 x 8.0mm.
This panel is an LTPO AMOLED, with a resolution of 1792 x 1920 pixels and refresh of adaptive 120Hz rates, being able to descend to 1Hz.Also, the touch sampling rate climbs up to 1000Hz.We have here a glass layer called Flexion Ultra Thin Glass, much thinner than the one used by the competition with only 0.03mm.
Thus, it is much more flexible, but also durable.According to the TUV RHEINLAND certification, the smartphone would withstand 200,000 folds without appearing.The outer display is also an AMOLED, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.It has a resolution of 1972 x 988 pixels, but the refresh rate in this case is 60Hz.
The company also used a new hinge called Flexion Hingine.It is a rather complex set that includes 136 components, but solves two quite widespread problems in the case of foldables.A drop -shaped opening is formed when the phone is folded, and this eliminates the space between the two panels, present in the case of other models on the market.Also, the folding mode would solve the problem of the box formed in the middle of the display.
It arrives here and Flexform Mode, the hinge practically allowing the use of the smartphone to open at an angle between 50 and 120 degrees.I have also seen something similar in the case of Z Fold and Z Flip models from Samsung, being a useful option to make video calls and capture time-laps.
Hardware
Inside Oppo Find we find a Snapdragon 888 processor, but also 8 or 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
Here are the specifications:
Camera
The phone comes with a triple photo setup in the back and has two 32 sqm selfie cameras, a sensor being located in the ball on the outside, and another on the inside.However, the generous rear module includes a main 50 MP sensor (Sony IMX766), a 16 MP (Sony IMX481) camera, but also a 13 MP Telephoto (Samsung S5K3M5).Being a foldable model, this setup can be used successfully in the case of selfie captures.
The smartphone can shoot at quality [email protected] or [email protected]/240fps.We also have selfie filming [Email Protected] with electronic stabilization.
Connectivity, audio and battery
Inside Oppo Find N we find a 4500 mAh battery, and the company has integrated here the supervocal power at 33W on the wire and the Airvoc wireless power.Last but not least, there is a reversible load at 10W.We have here a USB-C port and connectivity options such as Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, 4G LTE and 5G.The fingerprint sensor is integrated laterally and we also receive stereo speakers.
The phone runs Android 11 and comes with the Coloron interface 12 applied over.Oppo, however, integrated special gestures here.Thus, through a two-fingered swipe we will divide the screen into two, and through a 4-fingered pinch we will be able to move an app in a flying border.Also, the transitions and animations were optimized to make the transition between the outer and the inner display.
Price
We also reach one of the most important aspects, especially when it comes to foldable smartphones.Oppo Find is not a prototype, but a first foldable model officially marketed by the company.He will be available for the first time in China on December 23, and the prices announced are not bad at all.However, we do not know if OPPO will launch this model on other markets.Here are the prices:
