OPPO Find N first test: find a balance between feel and practicality?

OPPO officially launched its first foldable model Find N on OPPO Inno Day 2021 yesterday, which is different from the previous concept models. This time it is really commercial. And the official also brought a few prototypes to Taiwan today so that we have the opportunity to kiss Fangze. The overall design of Find N is to reduce the size to improve the feel, and the overall portability has become more flexible. It is almost as light as Moto Razr and Samsung Galazy Z Flip3; but the core concept is the same as that of Samsung. Similar to the Galaxy Z Fold3, it is a business-like sense of small and large. This design is also the biggest selling point of Find N.

Next is the body. First of all, the design of the B3F-1006 on the back is also simple. The design of the main camera module is quite like the curve of the Find X3 "crater". 132.6 x 73 x 15.9mm, weighs 275g; compared to Samsung Z Fold3 271g -ic/" title="271g model">271g-ic/" title="271g model">271g-ic/" title="271g model" >271g-ic/" title="271g model">271g-ic/" title="271g model">271g-ic/" title="271g model">271g-ic/" title="271g model">271g -ic/" title="271g model">271g-ic/" title="271g model">271g-ic/" title="271g model">271g-ic/" title="271g model">271g-ic /" title="271g model">271g-ic/" title="271g model">271g-ic/" title="271g model">271g-ic/" title="271g model">271g-ic/" title="271g model">271g-ic/" title="271g model">271g-ic/" title="271g model">271g-ic/" title="271g model">271g will be heavier, but Because of its lightness, I was shocked when I saw 275g...Is this the magic of lightness?

The other two colors are Cloud White and Floating Purple. Different from the Starry Night Black, they have a matte and frosted texture. The other two have a mirror design. I like the Starry Night Black.....

Here is actually a volume comparison with the Find X3 Pro. Although the former is equipped with a protective case, it should not damage the lightness of the Find N. In the folded state, it really gives me the lightness of the iPhone mini (but it is double thick)

Here, please show the on-site personnel who wear tighter jeans. It is basically no problem to put Find N in the back pocket, just be careful not to sit down in this state.....

The left side is the main hinge mechanism of Find N, with the words "Designed for Find" engraved on the top, which will be explained later, and the right side is the volume and the power button combined with fingerprint recognition; It is a card ejection slot, dual speakers that support Dolby Atmos (both down), and a USB-C port.

Find N's hinge is a "Seiko quasi-vertebral hinge" with 125 patents and 136 parts, which is officially said to have taken four years to design. It is similar to Moto Razr in terms of mechanism, not the appearance of Z Fold3. In addition to the internal screen specifications introduced in the above, the Find N is almost the product with the smallest crease in the same class in this experience.

Due to its small size, the external screen of the Find Z is a 5.29-inch 18:9 ratio AMOLED panel with a resolution of 90.7% FHD+, and has 800nit HBM, local peak brightness of 1,000nits and 8,192 levels of backlight adjustment, but The update rate is only 60Hz, maybe because of the size, users will use the internal screen most of the time, right?

The most interesting internal screen, just looking at the ratio is actually 8.4:9, which is close to 1:1. The panel uses a 7.1-inch Samsung E5 AMOLED panel, which accounts for 87.7% and has a resolution of 1,792 x 1920. The brightness and most values are the same as those of the external screen. The biggest difference is that it supports a 120Hz update rate and can automatically switch from 1 to 120Hz. LTPO technology.

As for the protection part, the official said that the surface of the folding screen is covered with 0.03mm UTG ultra-thin foldable glass, but it does not seem to have a plastic film like the Z Fold3, and there will be no such floating visually. Floating reflected light.

Here, directly look at the central crease at different angles with the white background calendar. It can be seen that in the unfolded state, the central crease is almost invisible, and only a little reflection due to the angle can be seen when it is bent; In addition, it can also be found that the lens of Find N on the main screen is not like Samsung and Xiaomi using the under-screen lens, but a general hole-digging lens, which may also reduce the price?

As for the function part, the main screen can use four fingers to make a floating window for the supported APP, and the split window is as shown in the figure below. You can directly open the split window by sliding down with two fingers. In a small size, this gesture design It is relatively convenient. As for the other hovering function, due to time constraints, I cannot introduce it in detail this time, please forgive me.

In addition, when the Find N is folded horizontally, it will also have a "FlexForm" function similar to that of the Samsung Z Fold3, allowing the upper and lower screens to appear as split screens. We will use the camera APP as an example later.

In the camera part, the main lens of the Find N is actually quite similar to the Find X3 Pro, the difference is only inferior in the ultra-wide angle. Configure Sony IMX766 50MP sensor f/1.8 OIS wide-angle + Sony IMX481 16MP f/2.2 ultra-wide-angle + 13MP f/2.4 2x telephoto lens.

It can be seen that the camera interface of Find N is quite different from the previous OPPO style. The main shooting mode is located at the bottom right, the adjustable shooting parameters are on the left, and the virtual zoom fader is on the bottom; as for the upper left hole next to the screen It is the shortcut key for full screen and open split view.

In fact, the camera shooting logic of the Find N is similar to that of the Samsung Z Fold3. With the folding function, the camera can be turned into a stand, and the additional screen on the side will also display the photos of the album; it can be synchronized with the opening of the main screen. Use the hole lens, or the main lens on the outside to shoot.

For other core specifications, Find N is equipped with S888 processor, which is indeed a bit embarrassing in terms of release time. Other specifications include two versions of 8 / 12GB LPDDR5 Ram + 256 / 512GB UFS3.1 Rom, built-in 4,500mAh ( Dual-cell) power, support 33W SuperVOOC fast charging, 15W AirVOOC wireless charging, 10W reverse charging, etc.

The time for this experience is actually only one hour, and at the same time, there are only three stations in the middle of multiple media, so this experience can only be a little bit. But for Find N, it is not really new in concept. Instead, it integrates the design advantages of various current folding machines to integrate such a product.

The most core concept is probably the original large-size business style, which can be shrunk down to be easily accessible with one hand. If you want a large screen, you can also have a 7-inch size view. With a relatively affordable price, there may be manufacturers in the future. Not necessarily follow up? In addition, some gesture operation functions that are convenient for small size are removed. The most surprising thing to me is that the main screen of the Find N is almost completely invisible on the crease, and there is not much light refraction of the plastic protection on the surface of the Z Fold3. The experience is quite good....

It's just that in terms of durability, every manufacturer must have quite positive data when they publish it, but it will take time to actually use it. For Find N, the relatively cheap price should also make consumption. Are you more motivated?

At present, there is no timetable for the launch of OPPO Find N in Taiwan, but according to the introduction of Find X3 Pro even after a while, Find N should still have a good chance. It's just that the time is just right to use the S888 to directly work on other flagship phones with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and even Dimensity 9000. It's really a bit embarrassing... Maybe the official may also change the heart and publish another version. ?

Finally, although Find N has brought quite a few surprises; but regardless of the exterior design and some internal functions (especially the camera is the most obvious), you can actually see a lot of the shadow of Z Fold, how to make more folding machines in the future Differentiated functions may be the key to making consumers pay? (and of course durability)
