The next iteration of Oppo’s clamshell foldable, the Oppo Find N3 Flip, surfaces in a render carrying one more camera than last year’s model.
Oppo added a second foldable phone when the Find N2 Flip joined the Find N2. The latter was a book-style foldable and the former was a clamshell foldable similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. Oppo placed a landscape-oriented 3.3-inch external display on the device which was the largest cover screen on a clamshell last year topping the Motorola Razr’s 2.7-inch Quick View screen, the 3-inch external screen on Vivo’s Flip X, and the 1.9-inch cover screen on the Galaxy Z Flip 4.2023 is the year of the larger clamshell foldable external display
But if 2023 is the year of anything, it is the year of even larger clamshell foldable external displays. For example, the largest such screen this year is the 3.6-inch Quick View display on the Motorola Razr+ which was just released in the U.S. today. Samsung is hiking the size of the cover screen on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 to 3.4 inches and the external display will support versions of Google apps like YouTube, Maps, and Messages optimized for the Flip 5’s larger external display. By making the cover screen more useful, it allows owners of clamshell flippers to navigate from “A” to “B,” read notifications, create messages and read incoming ones all without having to open their clamshell to access the larger internal display.
