Those who thought folding phones weren’t here to stay simply hadn’t met one that impressed them, but that will change for everyone now that the OPPO Find N2 Flip is on the scene.
While this phone has a lot of exciting features which all push it to the top of the premium ladder, we have to start with the screen… or should we say screens?
Yes the OPPO Find N2 Flip has two screens: the main display that folds as well as non-folding outer screen that can be used when the main display is still folded.
That main display is 6.8 inches of FHD+ (2520 X 1080) goodness that also has a super high refresh rate of 120Hz. With the high resolution, fast refresh rate and super colours (97 percent of NTSC / 100 percent of DCI-P3), it’s difficult to believe that it folds too. OPPO has created the ultimate folding mechanism and screen combination to create a virtually crease-free display.
OPPO has reported durability after 40 000 folds in its testing to create an industry leading answer to the folding phone problem.
And that’s just one screen! The secondary screen on the outside of the phone is 3.26 inches with a resolution of 720 X 382 and a refresh rate of 60Hz. These are still huge resolution and refresh rate numbers for a smaller screen, and OPPO has cleverly programmed this display for quick use when your OPPO Find N2 Flip is folded. This secondary screen is also an industry leader when it comes to size for these ancillary displays, giving you more space compared to the other guys.
Use your secondary screen to read alerts, quickly reply to messages, check the battery level when on charge, answer calls and so much more. Everything you do with a normal phone when you quickly take it out of your pocket can be done on this screen.
OPPO has also programmed in some fun stuff just for this screen, such as the Interactive Digital Pets which you can see living in your phone through this screen.
Combine the two screens and the hinge for a new world of pictures, videos, calls and content creation. The back of the phone features a 50MP Main Camera and a 8MP Ultra-wide Angle Camera, while the front has a 32MP shooter. Fold your phone so the bottom portion acts as a built-in stand in the FlexForm Mode with FlexForm Camera, FlexForm Video Streaming and FlexForm Video Calls all now available for hands free use thanks to the use of gesture control.
Combine this with the Dimensity 9000+ CPU, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage and a beautiful body of your choice in Moonlit Purple or Astral Black, and you have yourself a phone that does it all.
All the features of the OPPO Find N2 Flip are powered by a massive 4 300mAh battery. In a bout of serendipity the trailer released by OPPO – watch it above – ends in what looks like a blackout. Us South Africans are all too familiar with the electricity being off, which is why this all-day battery comes in handy.
It’s not just the sheer capacity that allows for this, however, as OPPO has engineered in energy saving tech which allow for up to 20 hours of video streaming, six hours of video calls or 16 hours of social media use.
Should you find yourself depleting the battery or forgetting a charge, have no fear as trips to the plug take only minutes with the OPPO Find N2 Flip. 44W SUPERVOOC Flash Charge can get you from zero to 50 percent of a charge in a scant 23 minutes. If you have never experienced this kind of Fast Charging you will be blown away by the speed as it completely changes the way you use your phone, and change sit for the better.
Again this helps in South Africa as you can top up a lot of your battery even if you have just a few minutes to go before loadshedding starts again.
The OPPO Find N2 Flip is available right now in South Africa.
