Find N: Oppo unveils its first foldable
Oppo's first foldable smartphone is said to be gapless. It has five camera lenses and appears in three colors.
Oppo has unveiled its first foldable. With this, the Chinese manufacturer jumps on the foldable smartphone bandwagon. The Oppo Find N opens lengthwise and is equipped with two screens. A smaller 5.49-inch outer display and a 7.1-inch inner display that is revealed when folded open. The Find N is 13.2 inches long and 7.3 inches wide when folded.
To make the folding motion work well, Oppo relies on a hinge shaped like a drop of water. Thanks to this shape, there should be no gap between the folded screen.
On the outside, Oppo installs an AMOLED display with a fixed refresh rate of 60 hertz on the Find N. It is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. It is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus from Corning. For the inside, Oppo also uses an AMOLED display that can dynamically adjust its refresh rate between 1 and 120 hertz. Moreover, its ultra-thin glass made up of twelve layers is said to make folding smooth.
Camera with a total of five lenses
The Find N is equipped with a 50-megapixel main sensor. This is joined by a 16-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens and a 13-megapixel telephoto lens - the camera module is attached to the back of the smartphone.
Adding to this trifecta are two 32-megapixel selfie lenses in the displays: one at the top left of the inside and the other at the top of the outside display. You can shoot videos in 4K resolution at 60 FPS with the outside camera. The selfie cameras manage that in 1080p with 240 FPS.
The inner values: processor and co.
The Find N is powered by a Snapdragon 888 5G chip from Qualcomm and appears in two storage variants:
- 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage
- 12 GB RAM and 512 GB storage
The battery has a capacity of 4500 mAh and is said to fully charge in 70 minutes using the included 33-watt charger. Wirelessly, the Find N charges at up to 15 watts. In addition, the Foldable supports Reverse Wireless Charging and charges other devices at up to 10 watts.
From the factory, the Oppo Find N runs the in-house ColorOS12, which is based on Android 11. The operating system and various apps have been tweaked to help users take better advantage of the form factor with gestures and split screen, it said.
Find N first in China
The Oppo Find N has 5G, Wifi 6, NFC and dual stereo speakers on board. You connect headphones via Bluetooth 5.2 - there's no headphone jack. You can unlock the Find N using either the side fingerprint sensor or the face scanner.

There, the smaller memory version will be available for the equivalent of 1118 CHF or 1073 euros - the larger for the equivalent of 1276 CHF, or 1255 euros. Whether, when and for what price it will actually go on sale in our country is still unclear.
