Oppo Enters Foldable Market with Find N2 Flip

Oppo entered the global foldable market with the international launch of Find N2 Flip. It is Oppo’s first foldable device to be made available outside of its home market of China, where it also sells other foldable models.

Find N2 Flip folds in a motion similar to Samsung’s Flip models and the revamped Motorola Razr, akin to a classic clamshell device. Oppo claims it has the largest cover screen of any flip phone, referring to the outer display used for notifications.

Head of the Find product line at Oppo Peter Lee said it had focused on making the cover screen more useful than rival devices. He said others sported front screens which were too small to be useful, claiming they were limited to tiny notifications or heavily cropped images. Lee added Oppo had been working with major app providers on delivering optimized front-screen notifications.

Find N2 Flip uses the company’s second-generation hinge, which Oppo claims have been certified to withstand 400,000 folds and unfolds at standard room temperature. This is equivalent to opening it 100 times a day for more than a decade. Oppo also claims the device outperforms peers in terms of battery life.

Find N2 Flip has a 6.8-inch screen when unfolded, a 4300mAh battery, dual rear camera system, with the main unit at 50MP using a Sony IMX890 sensor and a 32MP front camera. It runs an optimized version of MediaTek’s Dimensity 9,000+ chipset.
