The company said last week that it has worked on it for four years, and developed some six generations of prototypes before producing this model. While the device uses a similar type of folding mechanism as the Samsung Z Fold 3, there are certain design differences. The Find N is shorter and wider than the Fold 3 when it’s folded. As a result, it has a more traditional 18:9 display aspect ratio, compared to the tall 25:9 ratio on Samsung’s device. Oppo’s new device unfolds into a 7.1-inch display with an 8.4:9 (almost like a square) aspect ratio as compared to the 22.5:18 aspect ratio of the Fold 3. Before we talk more about the phone’s features, let’s take a look at its specs. Oppo talked a lot about its hinge design with 136 components that are aligned with 0.01mm precision to make sure it works smoothly.
