The Find series from OPPO has been their premium flagship range since the brand’s inception. It brought top-of-the-line features that competed for the best of what Android has to offer. Back in 2021, the N series was introduced as OPPO’s first take on foldable and flip phones. Fast forward to 2023, OPPO released the Find N3 foldable smartphone on 19th October in China. The N3 brings some big and effective changes compared to the N2. Let’s find out what those are.  Key Specifications of OPPO Find N3  Design and Build Quality  The Find N3 doesn’t really reinvent the wheel. It looks similar to the existing range of foldables from the likes of Huawei and Samsung. There is a distinct round camera housing on the back with Hasselblad branding that gives it its distinguishing look.  Coming to the design specifics, the curves around the hinges have been sharpened. It might be due to the hinge mechanism used in the N3. Speaking of the hinge mechanism, it now does an excellent job of dissipating the crease at the middle of the inner display. It’s still possible to feel the crease by touch, but visually it is much less pronounced compared to the Mate X5 or the Z Fold5.  Read more: Top 10 Smartphones Coming to Bangladesh in November 2023 The front glass and aluminum frame are complemented by a choice of either a glass back or an eco-leather back. The dimension comes in at:  Glass Folded: 153.4 x 73.3 x 11.7 mmEco-leather Folded: 153.4 x 73.3 x 11.9 mmGlass Unfolded: 153.4 x 143.1 x 5.8 mm Eco-leather Unfolded: 153.4 x 143.1 x 6.0 mm The weight comes in at 239 g for the eco-leather option and 245 g for the glass-back variant. The front is protected by OPPO’s own Ceramic Guard protection with the inner panel being a plastic one as usual. The choice of ports and buttons are carried over from the N2 which means the 3.5 mm headphone jack didn’t make the cut. The power button doubles as the fingerprint scanner similar to the N2.

Overall, the updated hinge mechanism massively improves the experience and alleviates the design experience of the device.  The Display  OPPO used the new state-of-the-art LTPO3 OLED panels for the N3. The cover screen is a 6.31-inch panel with 1116 x 2484 pixels with 431 ppi density. The panel supports 1.07B colors, Dolby Vision, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2800 nits of peak brightness in HBM.  On the other hand, the inner panel is a 7.82-inch Foldable LTPO3 OLED panel with 2268 x 2440 pixels resolution at 426 ppi. The panel supports 1.07B colors, Dolby Vision, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2800 nits of HBM. The screen-to-body ratio of the N3 comes in at 89.6%.  The best thing about the N3 display is the utilitarian design. The cover screen isn’t unnaturally tall like that of the Z Fold5. Rather it looks much like a standard smartphone. The inner screen is also 1:1 which gives it a square look. This display design enhances the usability all the while being a cutting edge panel.  Read more: vivo V29e 5G Review: Is this mid-range phone rightly priced? Being an LTPO3 panel, the screen is everything one would expect from it. It has high contrast, great color, and amazing visibility under direct sunlight. And thanks to the new hinge mechanism, the inner crease also isn’t as distracting anymore. 

With the lovable Find N2, Oppo expands its presence in the field of attractive tiny phones. The first Find N was the thinnest, lightest, and most compact vertically foldable phone available. However, Oppo managed to enhance the design of the Find N2 even further with no apparent hinge gap. The latest foldable device debuted in China in December 2022, with an even smaller, quicker, and far less noticeable display crease than its predecessor. Let's find out the specs, pros, cons, and price of OPPO Find N2. Key Features of OPPO Find N2  Design The Find N2 maintains the portability (132.2 x 140.5 x 7.4mm) that was one of its most notable selling points just like its predecessor. It is not a behemoth like the Fold series manufactured by Samsung; rather, Oppo's version has a footprint that is nearly more pocket- and palm-friendly. It is much shorter than most other phones of similar design and features a front with a larger aspect ratio. This implies that while using the device with one hand, you will not have to extend as far with your thumb to reach the screen's margins. Additionally, it fits in a pocket without sticking out the top. This year, its weight also makes it quite desirable.

At 233 grams for the lightest variant, it is much lighter than the most recent Z Fold and even lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. In simple words, you do not experience the same sensation of weight or mass as you do with the majority of other horizontally folding phones. To do this, Oppo used carbon fiber in the hinge and the flexible underneath of the display, removing heavy components and replacing them with lighter, more robust ones. OPPO Find N2 is available in Coral Orange, Pearly White, and Submariner Black colors. Display The 7.1" primary display has all the latest high-quality screen features, including a high resolution of 1920 x 1792, a dynamic refresh rate of 1Hz-120Hz depending on the material being shown, a broad color gamut coverage, HDR10 certification, and a high peak brightness of 1550 nits.

In addition, the 120Hz display's max brightness is 1350 nits, as Oppo recognizes that you may use it for brief glances outdoors and on the move more often than the huge inside display.  Camera There are also some potent cameras on board that have been modified by Hasselblad. These cameras include a 48MP ultra-wide camera that can also take macro shots, a 50 MP Sony IMX890 wide sensor camera, and a 32MP RGBW 2x telephoto camera that reduces noise for improved portraits and zoom capabilities.

The two front-facing cameras on each display are both 32 GB, and the quality of the photographs they produce is quite high. It should not come as a surprise that Oppo has included its own MariSilicon X imaging processor. Similar to the Snapdragon chip that was used, this is not the greatest that can be obtained, most likely as a result of the lead periods required to build a gadget of this kind. It is reasonable to assume that the number of resources spent on producing foldable will expand in tandem with the rising demand for these products.  Performance Under the hood of the Oppo Find N2 is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip. The 8 Gen 2 chipset is previously utilized in the Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro, therefore the octa-core CPU is not from the newest version.

Even more so, given that the Plus type installed here is renowned for being power-efficient and cool. Even with a foldable device, you can and should game appropriately. No one will be surprised that neither the CPU nor the 16 GB RAM with its 512 GB internal UFS 3.1 ROM impedes the owner's progress. There is also a slightly reduced-capacity version of the N2 with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage available for "smart spenders." In light of the available options, it is doubtful if the absence of a microSD card slot is really a drawback. Battery and Charging Due to the fact that the phone comes with the company's high-powered 67W SuperVOOC charger, the 4520 mAh battery can be fully charged in only 42 minutes, and it can be brought up to 37% in just 10 minutes.

On the other hand, when it comes to ultrafast charging, we have been spoiled by Oppo and OnePlus.  Price of Oppo Find N2 in Bangladesh The cost of the handheld device is listed as 19,999 INR, equivalent to 25, 382 TK. However, the official price of Oppo Find N2 in Bangladesh may vary due to tax and other issues.  Conclusion Despite its slim dimensions and superb design, the Oppo Find N2 is relatively inexpensive for a foldable phone. Oppo does not charge more for the new Flexion Hinge, which provides an even thinner and lighter body, as well as for the almost indiscernible crease, or for the quicker CPU and enhanced camera, not to mention the incredible screen quality.

The primary competition, the more costly Galaxy Z Fold 4, is both bulkier and less ergonomic to operate, and less visually beautiful, with a hinge gap and main panel crease two generations below Oppo's craftsmanship.

Motorola is bracing for the future by returning to the past. The company is adapting its historical flip-phone design for a smartphone with a foldable screen.
