The foldable phone market has been heating up over the past few years, with Samsung leading the way with its Z Flip and Z Fold lines. However, Oppo has now thrown its hat into the ring with the Find N2 Flip, a foldable flip phone that offers impressive features at a more affordable price. While foldables may not be for everyone, the Oppo Find N2 Flip is a solid contender worth considering for those looking for a new phone.
Oppo Find N2 Flip it has an instantly familiar metal and glass body with a bright 6.8-inch flexible AMOLED, 120Hz display that looks like a regular phone when open. The hinge design creates a “water drop” shape in its center, which allows the bend radius to not be too tight, resulting in less wrinkles on the screen surface when open. While there is still a visible notch running across the screen, it is shallower and less prominent than other foldable phones.
The phone's hinge feels solid when fully open and closes with a satisfying click, but it offers less resistance and a lot more play than Samsung's foldable phones. It can hold the screen open between 45 and 110 degrees, but it oscillates. Additionally, the phone is only splash-proof, not submersible.
Specifications and performance
Oppo Find N2 Flip it has a chip MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ (4 nm), which is slower than rivals' chips from the last two years. But overall the phone performs well, runs fast and does the job just fine. Battery life is also very good for a foldable phone, generally lasting up to about two days between charges when used mostly on wifi with the main screen on for around five hours, plus a few hours of use on 5G when you're out and about. Longer stretches on 5G in congested areas reduced battery life by about half a day, but that's still much longer than Samsung Z Flip 4, which lasts only 31 hours under similar conditions. According to some reports.
Camera and software
Oppo Find N2 Flip it has a main ultra-wide camera with 50 megapixels and 8 megapixels on the outside and a camera with 32 megapixels on the internal screen. The main camera is quite good, taking generally well-detailed and properly exposed images in good to medium light. However, photos can look a bit gray at dimmed settings. Low-light performance is reasonable, as are portrait shots, but there's no macro mode available. The ultra-wide camera is bad, producing dark, gray shots that should only be used in bright conditions. Also a selfie camera with 32 megapixels she's pretty good.
Oppo's ColorOS is a heavily customized version of Android 13 with a colorful design and features more familiar in Asia. As is the case with most Android phones sold in the East, it works fine, but lacks that final detail and impression of the whole.
Price and verdict
Oppo Find N2 Flip it costs £849 (€860) in the UK and offers a solid set of features at a more affordable price than many of its competitors. This makes it an attractive option for those who are interested in a foldable phone but don't want to spend more than €1,000 on a device that is still considered a relative innovation.
Although Oppo Find N2 Flip it's not perfect, it's still a very good phone and definitely a good contender in the foldable phone market. Build quality is generally very good, with the hinge design making it more robust and durable than many other foldable phones. The performance of the phone is also very good, especially when it comes to battery life.
The camera is good, and the main camera stands out in the camera system that the phone offers. However, the software let the phone down a bit, with a lack of finish.
In general, it seems Oppo The Find N2 Flip is a great phone that offers great value for money. It may not be perfect, but it's still a great option for anyone looking for a foldable phone that's more affordable than many of its competitors. The Oppo Find N2 Flip is a strong contender in the market and one that is definitely worth considering for those looking for a new phone.
