The OPPO Find N3 is just one of two devices that make up the Find N3 series. The other is the Find N3 Flip – yes, we’re talking about the one that debuted a few weeks ago in China. So why are we talking about it now? Well, it’s just cause we have new information for the international version of the phone. OPPO announced both devices for the international market.
The international OPPO Find N3 Flip will be coming in a bevvy of colours: Sleek black, Cream Gold and Misty Pink. The Cream Gold colour is the hero of the trio with intricate details in the finishing of the smartphone. But you’re not looking at this smartphone just cause of the colours.
The Find N3 Flip is definitely more than just looks. It comes packed with the MediaTek Dimensity 9200 processor, one of the fastest and most power-packed processors on the market. It’s also got 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The package should be enough to get you through some gaming, work and even editing those portrait pictures you’ll undoubtedly be taking with the triple camera setup of the Flip.
The hallmark feature of the N3 Flip isn’t the internals though. It’s the form factor and large cover screen. The N3 Flip comes with 3.26-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 382×720 pixels and a peak brightness of 900 nits. The cover display maintains its rectangular shape which looks like a shrunken-down version of the normal phone display. There are two reasons behind this choice according to OPPO. The first is to maintain and expand the functionality of mini-apps for the cover screen. OPPO has spent time collaborating with app developers to create mini-app versions of popular apps. This year, apps like Google Maps, Gmail, TikTok, Telegram and more now have fully functional mini-apps. The second is simply to make room for the first-ever triple-sensor camera setup on a clamshell form factor.
Speaking of the camera, the OPPO Find N3 Flip comes with a triple sensor camera which has a 50-megapixel Sony IMX890 sensor with OIS and an f/1.8 aperture, a 48-megapixel Sony IMX581 with an ultra-wide 115° field of view and auto-focus, and a 32-megapixel Sony IMX709 with an f/2.2 aperture and 2x optical zoom. On the selfie front, it comes with a 32-megapixel sensor with autofocus and an f/2.4 aperture. The camera setup is co-developed with Hasselblad and features some distinct modes which are classic Hasselblad. Software-wise, OPPO is bringing its “A” game with its signature camera software enhanced with AI features. The combination allows users to get creamy, natural bokeh while taking deeply detailed shots even in low light.
The Find N3 Flip also comes with an improved hinge. The new hinge has a weight-bearing capacity that is 25% higher than the N2 Flip. It also features zero hinge gaps and an optimised design for better ergonomics. It’s even got an IPX4 rating. The edges are curved so that it feels natural in hand. The phone’s Flexform mode allows the hinge to be kept in place in FlexForm mode which keeps the display erect between 45 to 120 degrees.
