Competitor to Samsung’s Fold? OPPO unveiled its first fold

The fifth largest manufacturer in the world, the Chinese company OPPO, has unveiled OPPO Find N, which according to the company, comes after four years of research and development and six generations of prototypes.

The internal display of the device includes a 7.1-inch Samsung OLED panel, with an impressive refresh rate of 120Hz, and a screen ratio of 9: 8.4. In practice, this means you will not have to rotate the device to watch videos or play games. Remember, devices such as Samsung’s Fold are designed in a rectangular shape and make it difficult to watch movies, for example on YouTube. In its folded position, the device includes a 5.49-inch display in a familiar ratio of 18: 9, in dimensions that according to the company allows it to be used with only one hand. In fact, if not for its thickness and slightly edged edges (because of the hinge), it looks almost like any other smartphone today.

Like any folding device, there is the matter of the crease in the center of the screen, and here, at least according to the first documentation on the network, it is not noticeable – compared to, for example, Samsung’s Fold. Oppo were able to do this because the axis is internal and embedded within the screen, so there is also no space at the time of closing and the crease is almost invisible. However, we will have to test it independently and under different lighting and use conditions, to be impressed.

Inside the device is – unsurprisingly – the flagship processor of smartphones in 2021, Snapdragon 888 with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. In the camera array segment, the OPPO Find N comes with a 50MP Sony IMX 766 sensor; 16MP wide lens; And 13MP Telephoto lens. A selfie camera is also available to you in the folding position and the open position. However, unlike Samsung’s folding, OPPO’s device is not protected from water and dust – or at least does not officially bear such a standard.
