With the Find N, Oppo presents the first folding mobile phone
There are big words that Oppo uses in his press statement (source: Oppo). On December 14th, the manufacturer plans to launch the new Oppo Find N present and thus apparently show Samsung in particular how to build folding smartphones correctly.
Oppo claims to have been working on a folding cell phone for four years, creating a total of 6 generations of prototypes. The Find N is “Oppo’s answer to the question of what the future of the smartphone looks like”, according to the manufacturer.
A short teaser already gives a foretaste of what to expect:
The Find N does not look groundbreaking there. Oppo uses the same folding mechanism as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. It has an outward-facing cover display and is folded inward, similar to a book. On closer inspection, however, a big difference becomes apparent: Overall, the Oppos folding cell phone looks much more compact.
In particular, the elongated shape of Samsung’s Fold models has so far been in the crossfire of criticism, as it made typing on the cover display more difficult. When closed, the Oppo Find N seems like a conventional smartphone in 16: 9 or 18: 9 format. This should have a positive effect on everyday use.
Oppo wants to showcase display folds and durability
With the Find N, the China manufacturer also wants to have solved some of the biggest problems of folding smartphones. Specifically, Oppo speaks the fold in the display and the durability. On December 14th, we will see to what extent great words are followed by deeds. Then Oppo would like to officially present its new folding cell phone to the public.
