Hey there! Jeevan here for techENT. This is the OPPO N3 Flip.

The Oppo Find N3 Flip is one of the prettiest flip phones available on the market right now. It’s coming in cream gold, mist pink, and astral black.

This new device may look very similar to the Find N2, but it’s got subtle updates that make it sleeker and nicer to hold in hand. The edges of the smartphone are more rounded for ergonomics and it’s got an alert slider.

The cover display is also one of the most robust with OPPO’s own mini-app system which is even more extensive this year thanks to more third-party support. These apps are also not cards but fully interactive apps with all the bells and whistles you would expect.

The new triple-sensor camera is housed in a round protrusion complete with the Hasselblad brand emblazoned on it. It comes with a 50-megapixel Sony IMX590 sensor paired with a 32-megapixel Sony IMX709 sensor and a 48-megapixel Sony IMX581 sensor.

The Find N3 Flip comes with the Mediatek Dimensity 9200. MediaTek’s latest 4nm processor promises great performance. It’s also got 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage.

The main display of the Find N3 Flip is a 6/8-inch AMOLED panel with an FHD+ resolution. It’s built to be more power efficient with a polarizer-free design which lowers power consumption by 20%. The crease is also less prominent on the N3 Flip. In the middle of the screen is the 32-megapixel selfie camera.

To top things off, the Find N3 Flip is IPX4-rated meaning that it’s resistant to water spills. It also comes with an updated Flexion Hinge This has zero gap and also allows the crease to be less prominent. The new hinge is designed to bear 25% more weight than the N2.

OPPO’s Find N3 Flip Makes International Debut

October 20, 2023 Nur Jeevan Leave a comment

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.

Pricing & Availability

The OPPO Find N3 Flip will be available in Malaysia for MYR4,399. Globally the Flip will be retailing for SGD$1,499 which is equivalent to USD$1,091.95 or EUR€1,032.06.

In Malaysia, pre-orders are happening from 19 October 2023 until 27 October 2023. During this period, purchases of the OPPO Find N3 Flip will entitle you to an MYR200 pre-order rebate, free screen protection warranty worth MYR699, a purchase with purchase (PWP) discount of MYR250 on the extended warranty worth MYR499 and a PWP discount of MYR100 on the portable PU case worth MYR149.

OPPO Unfolds a New Level of Productivity and Design with the Find N3

October 20, 2023 Nur Jeevan Leave a comment

OPPO isn’t content with just photography with their latest move into the foldable segment. The new lineup that makes up the Find N3 series proves that the company is looking beyond the perfect selfie or photo. With the flagship Find N3, OPPO is taking its ambitions to be one of the best in all categories seriously.

The OPPO Find N3 is a book-folding foldable smartphone. The outer display of this device is a 6.3-inch LTPO display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 2,800 nits peak brightness. Unfolded the main screen stands out with a 7.8-inch LTPO display. Both share a 120Hz refresh rate and a pixel density of over 425 pixels per inch.

Display aside, the Find N3 comes with three powerful speakers for authentic stereo sound. The smartphone is also built for an immersive experience with support for Dolby Atmos and Spatial Sound. This is further enhanced by the performance-centred insides of the Find N3. The foldable comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, 512GB of UFS4.0 storage and 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM. All of this is powered by a 4,800 mAh battery which supports 67W SUPERVOOC Charging which gives you 80% charge in 30 minutes.

Durability is front and centre with the third-generation Flexion Hinge. The hinge is made of a Zirconium-based liquid metal which makes it 5x stronger than stainless steel. This durability is also been independently verified by TUV-Rheinland and is certified to last for 1,000,000 folds. The new design allows the Find N3 to be one of the slimmest foldable smartphones on the market coming in at only 11.7mm when closed and 5.8mm when opened. It’s also got to be one of the lightest with a weight of only 298g.

Finding that Perfect Photo with Hasselblad Camera Technology

The Find N3 comes with a triple camera setup co-developed by Hasselblad. It’s also one of the most powerful setups on the market with a 48-megapixel Sony LYTIA-T808 sensor as the main sensor. The new sensor can derive more detailed information from a single exposure thanks to the stacked CMOS sensors which process light better resulting in better dynamic range, enhanced details and reduced noise even for low-light pictures. The same rings true for video.

The LYTIA-T808 is complemented by a 48-megapixel Sony IMX581 sensor. This comes with an ultrawide field of view and has autofocus. It’s also 100% larger than other flagship sensors. Completing the trio is a 64-megapixel periscope sensor which comes with an f/2.6 aperture. The combination of the three sensors will allow users to get the best performance from the camera in both low light and day light conditions. It’s also bringing along OPPO’s now signature portrait photography.

Colouring You Productive with ColorOS 13.2 Optimised for the Find N3’s Folds

The Find N3 isn’t running vanilla ColorOS 13.2, instead, OPPO has introduced a bevvy of features designed to help you stay productive even on the go. OPPO itself is touting it as “PC-Level productivity in your pocket”.

Some of the optimisations of ColorOS 13.2 include the Global TaskBar, OPPO’s take on the taskbar from Android 13. This taskbar will not only give you your recent apps and quick start bar, it comes with a button for the app drawer in a manner similar to Windows’s Start button.

That’s not all though, OPPO is making it even easier to multitask with simple gestures to enable split-screen and other productivity modes. One of the unique features of the Find N3 is OPPO’s “Boundless View” which allows you to use up three apps simultaneously side-by-side with one of them just off-screen. You’ll be able to interact with the apps by simply swiping to see the app that is off-screen. But of course, being OPPO, this wasn’t enough. The company is also bringing an extension of this mode called “15-inch Boundless View” which displays all three apps in the 7.8-inch tablet view. OPPO touts this feature as a 15-inch display in your hands.

Pricing & Availability

The OPPO Find N3 will be available in Champagne Gold which comes with a glass back and Classic Black which comes with a Vegan leather finish.

The Find N3 will be priced at MYR7,999 in Malaysia. Internationally, it will be priced at S$2399 which is about USD$1,747.56 or EUR€1,652.48.

In Malaysia, pre-orders of the OPPO Find N3 will entitle you to a free OPPO Pad Air (4GB + 64GB) worth 999, a free screen protection warranty worth MYR799 and an extended warranty purchase with purchase (PWP) discount worth MYR300 on its original price of MYR599 and a MYR100 discount on the PU standing case worth MYR199. Pre-orders begin on 19 October 2023 and end on 20 October 2023.

On the display side of things, the device boasts a sizeable 6.8-inch FullHD+ LCD screen with a 90 Hz refresh rate. A centrally placed punch-hole houses an 8-megapixel selfie camera.

Looking at the back of the smartphone, you’ll see a familiar design reminiscent of Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series. It features two large left-aligned circles within an accented housing. Within this is the dual camera setup featuring a 50-megapixel primary camera and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S9 Gets Special Fan Edition Treatment with Two Variants

October 4, 2023 Nur Jeevan Leave a comment

Samsung’s Fan Edition isn’t just for the Galaxy S23 FE this year, it’s expanding beyond just its smartphone. This year, the Galaxy Tab S9 and Galaxy Buds lineups are also getting affordable, scaled-back Goldilocks versions under the ‘FE’ moniker. The Galaxy Tab S9 is getting a little bit of special treatment with two devices getting the FE treatment – the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Tab S9 FE+. Where the “+” plays a significant part in how the devices have been designed and optimised.

The Galaxy Tab S9 series takes the baton from the Tab S7 FE. The new series of tablets brings some of the features from the recently announced Galaxy Tab S9 series to a more affordable price point. It’s also upping the ante from its predecessor. While the tablets don’t come with the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, it comes with the capable Exynos 1380 chipset.

Both tablets in the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series bring substantial improvements in the display department. The Tab S9 FE boasts a 10.9-inch TFT LCD panel, while the Tab S9 FE+ steps it up with a larger 12.4-inch TFT LCD panel. Yes, these sizes are on par with the Tab S9 and S9+. However, they only come with a refresh rate of up to 90Hz and an FHD+ resolution. The tablets also come with Samsung’s Vision Booster technology that enhances outdoor visibility by optimizing colour and contrast, making the tablets usable even in challenging lighting conditions.

These tablets aren’t just about performance; they also focus on sustainability. Both the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and the Tab S9 FE+ are crafted from recycled materials, including pre-consumer recycled aluminium and post-consumer recycled plastics. While they might not be used in 100% of the tablets, they are prominent in select components. Both models, along with the included S Pen, boast an IP68 rating, ensuring dust resistance and the ability to withstand accidental water exposure.

Samsung has also upped its game in the camera department. The FE features an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide front camera. In contrast, the FE+ comes equipped with a dual camera setup on the back with an 8-megapixel main sensor complemented with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide rear camera and the same 12-megapixel ultra-wide front camera. These cameras come with the same software features we’ve seen in the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series including auto-framing.

Battery capacity in the FE+ is impressive, with a 10,090mAh unit that can last up to 20 hours of video playback on a single charge. The Tab S9 FE, although slightly smaller in size, still packs a decent 8,000mAh battery. Samsung claims that the battery can go from 0% to 100% in just 90 minutes.

The tablets come with two storage options: 128GB or 256GB. These tablets come with the option to expand storage up to 1TB using a microSD card. When it comes to RAM they come with either 6GB, 8GB or 12GB.
