many people, 2022’s folding phones are finally the most popular become one of the mobile form factors next year said that. If this really is, Oppo Find N may be the initiator of this trend. Of course, Xiaomi Mix Fold, Samsung Fold series and flip We have already seen several folding models on the market, such as the series. However, Oppo aims to create a different style with its new folding phone. Let’s take the Oppo Find N folding phone under a close eye.

Design and Display
If you want a folding phone, you probably want a bigger screen in our pocket. That means it needs to be easy to hold and compact enough to carry around.
Find N, 120Hz has a refresh rate 7.1 inch internal Samsung E5 AMOLED has screen. The most controversial part of the screen is its near-frame ratio. Obviously, the movie or 16:9 It’s not a perfect ratio for video playback. However, when we first unlocked the phone, the screen was really impressive.
For example, on regular phones your eyes wander up and down unconsciously and your focus is only on the entire screen. 50% to 70% of remains in the middle frame. 7.1 inch size Although not physically much larger, 8.4 to 9 The unique ratio widens your view and maintains concentration at the same time.
Also, the phone has a really comfortable viewing experience for other activities like reading or web browsing. Especially for reading, the phone works like a great pocket book and reading app, an immersive reading experience with physical effects and details Offering a surprise.
21:9 Even if you don’t have a great experience while watching movies; 4:3 It’s almost perfect for most older content that plays at . Now 5.5 inch Let’s see what we can do with the cover screen. We have to say that it is the best external display among all folding phones.
The cover screen comfortably promises a compact phone-like experience. Most people handle it easily with one hand, but still 275 grams We have to carry the weight.
Software
Apart from that, Oppo has to better support the unique phone, such as more gestures and easy mini window mode; quite a lot of software features also developed. For example, by swiping two fingers down or dragging an app from the sidebar; You can easily split the screen for dual app content.
Apart from that, there is much more potential for the new folding form. We believe that some of them are not even recognized by the manufacturers; which relies on users and app developers to explore more possibilities in Find N.
And the transition between the two screens is pretty smooth. As the phone changes the fold, the displayed content immediately switches to the other screen. To activate it, all you have to do is swipe up from the bottom.
Performance
Phone Snapdragon 888 has processor. With this model, the heating issue is not as serious as we experience with most regular 888 phones. But obviously CPU His strategy is somewhat conservative. The phone is really good in performance.
Camera
The phone has a triple camera setup on the back and dual 32MP front cameras total including 5 cameras equipped with. triple cameras, 50MP main IMX766 sensor with OIS, 16MP wide-angle camera and another 13MP 2x Includes telephoto camera. Let’s check some examples.
50MP The main camera captures rich details with sufficient dynamic range. And in most lighting conditions; good and stable white balance; which brings a relatively real tone to the examples.
16MP the dynamic range for the wide-angle camera is not as impressive as the main camera; but still good at producing sharp images with good purity. You may notice that the edge image is not as pure and sharp as the central image.
During these few days, 13MP 2x your sensor, 3x or 5x telephoto We really feel that it is much more practical and used more often than cameras. It has a viewing distance that is pretty close to what we actually see. And detail looks good thanks to the 13MP resolution. Undoubtedly, it exceeds the level we expected with the telephoto camera.
Thanks to Oppo’s imaging software; All three cameras are well optimized for low-light shooting. There are fewer errors in night mode and at the same time; we can see that it allocates a lot more details especially for brightness.
Battery Life and Charging
Adding a larger folding screen is certainly not an advantage for battery life. 33W with wired fast charging support 4500mAh it comes with battery. But it wasn’t too bad in our battery test and charging test. We’re guessing it will hold up to all-day chores, at least without a lot of gaming.
Our decision
The Oppo Find N is probably the most impressive model we’ve gotten our hands on lately. But more importantly, the phone doesn’t look like a toy. Instead, it works like an everyday phone without any inconvenience. It really feels like we’re finally getting used to a horizontally folding phone that hadn’t been on previous folding phones. We think most users will achieve the same awareness.
