Oppo Find N Review: What’s special about it?
Although foldable android smartphones are not as prevalent as had been anticipated in 2021, they can be more available in 2022. Recently, Oppo has joined the folding smartphone market with the Oppo Find N, which rivals Samsung's formidable Z Fold series. Oppo has launched this phone on 17th December 2021. In this brief analysis, this article will examine the features of the folding smartphone.
Key Features of Oppo Find N
Design
When the OPPO Find N is closed, it is a very small smartphone. The dimensions are comparable to those of an iPhone 13 mini or something comparable. Such a "sandwich" is quite substantial in thickness. The external display's diagonal dimension is "only" 5.49 inches. Which is really rather small by contemporary standards. The remainder of the front panel is familiar: the front camera is housed in a circular hole, and the top section has a tiny speaker slot.
When opened, the device reveals a 7.1-inch tablet. The aspect ratio is very large: 8.4:9. Indeed, the screen seems to be virtually square in shape. The frames are discernible, which isn't necessarily a bad thing when using the device as a tablet. Additionally, there is a front camera on the inside. It is positioned in the hole in the screen's top-left corner.

The bezel around the screen does not extend excessively above it. It serves its protective purpose and does not obstruct the user's ability to utilize the display comfortably.
Most significantly, OPPO eliminated the fold nearly entirely. Even when seen from an angle, it is almost hard to detect any unevenness. Only tactilely can you detect the tiniest amount. This is quite amazing on an aesthetic and technical level.
The second critical design element is that there is no space between the smartphone's halves when folded. The components fit snugly together, which reduces dust and filth, among other benefits. The frame is entirely made of metal. Stereo speakers, USB Type-C, a microphone, and a tray are located on the bottom edge.

Display
To begin, the OPPO Find N has a foldable internal screen with a 7.1-inch AMOLED display. Samsung is a manufacturer. The resolution is 1920x1792, the aspect ratio is 9:8, and the pixel density is 370 pixels per inch. Manual brightness of 500 cd / m2 and a peak brightness of 1000 cd / m2 is predicted; HDR support is also included. Manual brightness of 500 cd / m2 and a peak brightness of 1000 cd / m2 is predicted;
HDR support is also included. Adaptive refresh rates of 1-120 Hz are supported by the display. Everything is familiar in the display settings: dark theme, scale, font, eye protection, and color modes, from the unfamiliar - a collection of enhancements for the Ultra Vision Engine.
There are no visual concerns about the screen, both in terms of brightness and image quality. According to hardware tests, the maximum brightness in Bright mode is 468.96 cd/m2, and the color gamut is substantially broader than sRGB. Due to a minor oversupply of blue, the color rendering somewhat shifts to the frigid hues.

The external camera is an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 5.49-inches and a resolution of 1972x988p, with a pixel density of 402 pixels per inch. The brightness settings stated are identical to those on the internal display. However, there is one disadvantage: the external display's refresh rate is 60 Hz. This is the only criticism. Everything else is satisfactory.
Rear Cameras
There are a total of five cameras on board, all of which function well in the daytime. The triple rear camera arrangement is led by a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 main sensor equipped with optical image stabilization. The main camera is supported by a 16-megapixel sensor and an ultrawide lens, while the secondary camera is backed by a 13-megapixel sensor and a telephoto lens with a 3x optical zoom. In the daytime, all three cameras create clean images, and night photography is similarly impressive. However, like with any smartphone, certain information may be lost.
Additionally, the cameras recorded natural colors, which may not be to everyone's taste. However, if the AI option is activated, you may get great saturation and contrast, resulting in an artificially edited finish. Additionally, there are other camera options to experiment with.

Front Camera
The two 32-megapixel front cameras are a little unimpressive due to their apparent lack of OIS functionality. In such a situation, the majority of photographs will be flat and devoid of detail, similar to the Oppo Find X3 phone. This might be why Oppo made few mentions of the camera sensors since the foldable smartphone is primarily focused on productivity.
Performance and Software
The Oppo Find N is powered by the same Snapdragon 888 processor as the Galaxy Z Fold 3. Due to the fact that this is a China-specific device, the phone does not come pre-loaded with Google or Meta applications.
This also means that we were unable to evaluate the smartphone's software to its full potential since many applications have yet to be optimized for this size factor. Additionally, the phone operates on Android 11-based ColorOS 12, although the company has stated that it will eventually get Android 12-based ColorOS.

For this review, users will get the top-of-the-line 12GB RAM + 512GB variant. As with previous Oppo phones, the Oppo Find N offers RAM expansion technology, which enlarges the RAM capacity by using idle ROM.
However, the Snapdragon 888 processor beneath the hood remains a strong one on the market, and the phone is still capable of handling work and gaming applications. Additionally, I appreciated popular games such as Asphalt 9 and Fruit Ninja that used the 8.4:9 aspect ratio. Needless to say, both applications functioned flawlessly and showed no evidence of overheating.
Battery and Charging
Without a strong battery, every productivity-oriented smartphone is incomplete. The Oppo Find N has a 4500mAh battery, which is somewhat larger than the Galaxy Z Fold 3's 4400mAh battery. While we do receive an all-day battery, bear in mind that we were unable to test the phone's boundaries due to the fact that this is a China-specific device.

Users will also get 33W SuperVOOC cable charging support, which is promised to charge the battery to 50% capacity in half an hour. It takes around 80 minutes for the phone to reach full battery. Additionally, we get support for wireless and reverse wireless charging.
Price of OPPO Find N in Bangladesh
The phone has not yet been officially launched in Bangladesh. The 8GB 256GB model is priced at BDT 1,03,311 in the China. The USD to BDT exchange rate is 1 CNY = 13.42 BDT in this case.
Conclusion
Oppo's Find N demonstrates that there are several approaches to the book-style foldable. Without turning to a behemoth of a phone, you may have a large screen on the inside and a usable screen on the outside.

It's perhaps more practical in that regard than the Galaxy Z Fold 3, which has a far larger aspect ratio and a skinnier display on the exterior.
Even at first glance, we can see that it is not ideal, but it is not far off. Its primary disadvantage is that it will be unavailable outside of China. However, if this serves as a prototype for future folding smartphones from OnePlus, Oppo, and Realme, the future of the flexible phone industry seems quite bright.
