OPPO is no stranger to foldables with its Find N2 flip having already made waves last year. The N3 Flip is geared to do the same with its flagship-class triple-sensor camera. In fact, it’s the first flip form factor to have one. And that’s not all it has…

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.

On the front, it has a 3.26-inch AMOLED cover display complete with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. 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. This is, of course, complemented by software which is co-developed by OPPO and Hasselblad.

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.

All of this is powered by a 4,300mAh battery that supports SuperVOOC charging at 44W. OPPO claims it will give you a 50% charge in just 23 minutes.

That’s the Find N3 Flip. We’ll have more details in our article over on our website at techent.tv.

The Oppo Find N3 has to be one of the only foldables that feels amazing in hand. OPPO has done some minor tweaks to the design making it more ergonomic and better suited for productivity. This year’s Find N3 is slightly taller than the N2 and comes with a larger aspect ratio.

It’s also thinner at 5.8mm thin and just 239g. While it may look a little bit cumbersome, it’s no thicker than a normal smartphone. Using it with one hand is also not much of an issue when its folded.

It comes with a 3rd generation flexion hinge which is made of a Zirconium-based liquid metal. This makes it 5 times more durable than stainless steel. It’s also certified for 1,000,000 folds by TUV Rheinland.
On the front, is a 6.3-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2484×1116 pixels. Unlike its competition, this screen comes with 120Hz. You’ve also got a 20MP selfie camera here.

OPPO Find N3 Flip to Debut on August 29, 2023, with the OPPO Watch 4 Pro

August 26, 2023 Nur Jeevan Leave a comment

The upcoming wave of foldable devices from OPPO is starting to take shape, with clear glimpses into what’s to come. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer has begun teasing its Find N3 Flip and the Watch 4 Pro smartwatch on Weibo, setting a confirmed launch date for later this month on August 29.

The promotional content showcases the Find N3 Flip in a champagne-gold hue, giving us a sneak peek at its new circular triple-camera setup. This innovative departure from its predecessor, the N2 Flip, introduces a triple-camera arrangement, a first for flip-style foldables. The LED flash is positioned just below the Hasselblad-backed container.

Adjacent to the camera array is the external cover screen. This display, expected to measure around 3 inches based on rumours, is oriented vertically on the cover panel – a design choice unique to the Find N3 Flip.

A teaser video featuring Actress and Model, Shu Qi, gives us a glimpse of the upcoming foldable and its UI.

Together with the OPPO Find N3 Flip, OPPO also shared images of the Watch 4 Pro. It looks like the company will be keeping the Watch 3’s design, however, it does appear like the Watch 4 Pro boasts a slightly curved glass layer and features a physical button and rotating crown on its right side.

The Watch 4 Pro’s specifications have been teased, including confirmation of the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chip – the same as its predecessor. The Watch 4 Pro is equipped with ECG, temperature, and SpO2 sensors that continue the line’s fitness and health focus. It’s also rumoured to come with over 85 apps and 2GB of RAM.

Rumours of the Find N3 Flip point to the foldable having a 6.8-inch internal display, akin to the OPPO Find N2 Flip. The circular triple-camera array is rumoured to comprise a 50MP primary camera, 8MP ultrawide, and a 32MP telephoto lens.

What sets the Find N3 Flip apart is the inclusion of the telephoto lens, a departure from competitors like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Motorola Razr Plus, which omit such a feature.

It also looks like OPPO has already started pre-orders for the FInd N3 Flip on its Weibo page. Users in China are able to pre-order their device with a CNY1 deposit. The pre-order entitles customers to the Enco Air 3 Pro earbuds, a phone case, 2 years battery replacement, a 180-day 1 to 1 replacement, a trade-in value of up to CNY1,200 for your old device, and a CNY379 mystery gift.

In a nutshell, OPPO’s Find N3 Flip is looking to make waves with its advanced camera setup, while the Watch 4 Pro promises enhanced capabilities and performance. Stay tuned for more updates!

OPPO Goes Long with Four Major Updates and Security Update for Five Years

December 22, 2022 Darwin Sucipto Leave a comment

Buying a new smartphone is not necessarily the biggest decision of your life. There is still a long list of considerations though when you want to invest in one. There is the basic problem of budget.

There is more at stake in choosing the right smartphone for than your budget though. You need to think about manufacturer support for your smartphone. That means you want to ensure that they have official presence in your region. You also want proven track record and consistency from the manufacturer of your chosen smartphone.

We are not necessarily talking about Apple or Samsung. We are pointing to OPPO really. While OPPO have not exactly been sitting in the same limelight as Samsung and Apple, they have a proven track record of making quality smartphones that are reliable and lasts forever. They can also be proud of the fact that they have been consistently making great smartphones in every market segment at an accessible price. In our opinion, their smartphones offer some of the best value for your money.

Recently OPPO has verified that they have delivered their ColorOS 13 update to 33 of their smartphone models universally. In the timeframe that ColorOS 13 existed, there are 3 times more device covered with ColorOS 13 than ColorOS 12 globally. For them, it is a big win – ColorOS 13 is their biggest and fastest distributed Operating System (OS) update they ever had.

The next thing to do is to extend their update policy and they might be able to compete with the best in the industry. That is what they are about to do 2023 onward.

They have just made a commitment to updating ColorOS for selected flagship models for up to four ColorOS iterations. That also means that you get at least three Android iterations for OPPO’s flagships that announced in 2023, most likely the next OPPO Find X model. At the same time, you can be assured that your smartphone will remain relevant for the next five years with up to five years of security update support.

Why is this important? Buying a flagship smartphone is not a small decision. A flagship smartphone in is not exactly the cheapest thing you can buy. You want to make sure that you get your money’s worth when you spend that much on a small slab of electronics you carry around in your life. In that case, you want to ensure that you can stretch your budget out as much and long as you can. That also means that you need to ensure that you can hold on to your smartphone for as long as you can. That also means consistent updates for as long as the smartphone manufacturer supports it. In this case, you can hold on to your next OPPO flagship for at least the next 5 years before it becomes obsolete, and that is a mighty good thing for your wallet.

OPPO Launches the Find N2 – the Other 2022 Foldable

December 19, 2022 Darwin Sucipto Leave a comment

If you are in the market for a foldable smartphone today, you will find about two eligible devices that suits your fancy. If its compact you are looking for, you have the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. For the larger form factor that features a larger, tablet like display, you have Samsung as well with their Galaxy Z Fold 4, and HUAWEI with their Mate Xs 2. We mentioned three devices but if practical is what you are looking for, you are probably going to end up with either the compact Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, or the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4.

Now though you might have a proper third choice. You now can choose between a Samsung, or an OPPO. To be fair, there is no practical competitor to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 at this point of time. The new OPPO Find N2 that they just launched is more of a Galaxy Z Fold 4 competitor instead.

The OPPO Find N2 is really as successor to the very interesting OPPO Find N that was launched very late in 2021 as well. In some sense, we want to consider the Find N2 a 2023 device. At the same time, the OPPO Find N2 packs hardware more comparable to 2022 flagship devices, hence.

Inside, you find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 powering the Android 13 based ColorOS 13 user interface (UI). You have up to 16GB of RAM to play around with, so the device will never feel slow even if you max out your tab limit on Google Chrome or have more than 20 apps open at the same time. With the larger display, you might want to have a few apps open in multiple windows too. At the same time, if you are counting on the Find N2 to be productive, you get up to 512GB of storage to work with for all sorts of documents and even photos.

Folded, the device features an expansive and rather regular factored display that is a 120hz 5.54-inch AMOLED display with 18:9 aspect ratio. It offers Full HD+ in resolution and up to 1350 nits brightness for when you want to work with it under the sun. Unfold it and you will find a large 7.1-inch LTPO AMOLED display greeting you. It is smaller than the Galaxy Z Fold 4’s 7.4-inch display, but hey it is a little more sensible in your hands. It also offers up to 120Hz in refresh rate, HDR10+ colours, and up to 1550 nits in peak brightness which, in any way you look at it, is really bright. It is smaller and more modest compared to its Samsung competitor with only 1,792 by 1,920 pixels packed in.

Out the back, you will find a 50-Megapixel shooter. That main shooter is backed up by a 32-Megapixel telephoto shooter and a 48-Megapixel ultrawide camera. You also get the clever Hasselblad calibration, obvious with a large Hasselblad branding at the camera bump this time. What they did not brand on the device is the MariSilicon X they put into the device for image processing. Of course, the camera can also do 4K video recording, which should not be a surprise anyway. Out the front, when folded, you find a 32-Megapixel front facing camera on the cover display. Inside, you find another 32-Megapixel camera.

It packs a 4,520 mAh battery to keep everything running for the day. It is larger than its competitor’s, but not by so much that it gets a significant advantage in battery life. Still, you can charge it at 67W with OPPO’s clever SUPERVOOC technology, which is a clear advantage over Samsung’s charging implementation. There is no wireless charging though, bummer.

What separates the OPPO Find N2 and its competitors apart is something you can hardly see. They call it a Flexion Hinge technology. Its aim? To minimize the display crease that is infamous with foldable devices today. It is also designed to be lighter than before with less moving parts for added reliability.

In fact, OPPO claims that they have reduced the number of moving parts within the hinge by 38 parts. There is now about 100 moving parts within the hinge. Less moving parts also means less things might go wrong. It is supposedly more rigid and stronger in construction too thanks to exotic materials like Carbon Fibre and high-strength alloy used in its construction. All these adds up to a weight saving of 42g over the older Find N.

The hinge also allows OPPO to reduce the stress on the folding display. Less stress also means less visible crease than before. OPPO claims that the visible crease has been narrowed by 67%, which sounds like a larger improvement, but we cannot confirm anything until we see the device ourselves.
