OPPO INNO Day Launches Foldable Smart Phone, Find N
Oppo has launched its first foldable flagship smartphone, the Oppo Find N, on the second day of its annual Inno Day showcase.
Oppo says the Find N is a result of four years of research and development and six generations of prototypes
It says the Find N brings a new approach to the foldable form factor and offers a refreshed user experience both for people who have used foldable devices in the past, as well as users who are new to the foldable form factor.
Pete Lau, Chief Product Officer of Oppo said new form factors are ushering in an exciting new time in smartphone technology.
“Oppo has invested a significant amount of time and effort into coming up with a better approach to a foldable smartphone, experimenting with a range of form factors, hinge designs, display materials and aspect ratios, to create a new device that meets the needs of more users.”
The Find N features a similar design to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series, with a large, squarish folding OLED panel on the inside and a smaller screen on the outside that can be used when the phone is closed.
The 120Hz inner display is 7.1 inches diagonal and has a slightly landscape 9:8.4 aspect ratio, unlike the Z Fold display, which is taller when unfolded.
There are dual stereo speakers located at the bottom of the phone, too, which further improves the experience of quickly opening the phone up to watch a video.
The inner screen uses an LTPO display with smart dynamic refresh rate technology that adapts the refresh rate anywhere between 1-120 Hz based on the content you are watching. The inner display also features support for a touch sampling rate of up to 1,000 Hz.
The Opp Find N is equipped with a flagship-level triple-camera setup for high-quality photos and videos. It includes a 50 MP Sony IMX 766 main sensor, a 16 MP ultra-wide lens and a 13 MP telephoto lens, as well as selfie cameras on both the inner and outer displays.
For the first time on a foldable phone, the Find N uses a 3D-curved design on both outer edges of the device to improve the hand feel and maintain a sleek look. The back cover and rear camera module continue the fluid curve design language of the Find X3.
The Oppo Find N is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Mobile Platform, together with up to 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
A large 4,500 mAh battery offers all-day battery life, while 33W SUPERVOOC Flash Charge is optimized to charge to 55% in 30 minutes and to 100% in 70 minutes.
It also comes with 15W AIRVOOC wireless charging (compatible with standard Qi) and 10W reverse wireless charging. The OPPO Find N includes a side-mounted fingerprint scanner that is housed in the power button.
The Opp Find N comes in three colors, black, white and purple and the company is only going to sell it in China,
It’ll go on sale from 23 December for 7,699 yuan (about R19,500) for a model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. 8,999 yuan (about R22,895) gets you a 12GB/512GB model.
