The Oppo Find N2 Flip has arrived. The Chinese company showed off its first flip phone at a global launch event on Wednesday. Oppo’s clamshell-style phone appears to be heavily inspired by the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4’s squarish design, but with a notably different cover screen.
Unlike the Z Flip 4, the Find N2 Flip’s cover display has a vertical orientation and is much bigger, measuring 3.26 inches with a resolution of 720×382 pixels. By comparison, the Z Flip 4 has a 1.9-inch external display with 260×512-pixel resolution; last year’s Motorola Razr came with a 2.7-inch cover screen with a 573×800-pixel resolution. In fact, the Find N2 Flip has the largest vertical cover screen on any flip phone.
Apart from the display, the Find N2 Flip has all the features you’d expect from a flip phone in 2023. There are two rear cameras, including one with a 50-megapixel sensor, a 32-megapixel front-facing camera, a capable processor (MediaTek Dimensity 9000 Plus) and a 4,300-mAh battery, which can be fast-charged at up to 44 watts. There’s no IP rating for water or dust resistance. For comparison, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 has an IPX8 rating, which means It can withstand water immersion but has no rated protection against dust. At this time there isn’t a foldable phone that is rated for dust resistance.
The Find N2 Flip will be available to preorder from today in the UK starting at £849, which converts roughly to $1,020 and AU$1,480. There are no plans currently for a US release, but the phone is set to hit stores in parts of Europe and Asia.Find N2 Flip’s cover screen is big
It’s commendable that Oppo dared to shake up the design of the cover screen on flip phones. Although this might not look as aesthetically elegant as the Galaxy Z Flip 4’s horizontal screen, I believe the Find N2 Flip’s cover screen has the potential for greater functionality.
