![]() While testing on the wet streets of London, we found it accurately captures the rain-soaked pavements, and there was more than enough detail in the shot when viewed on the phone’s display. Unsurprisingly, it’s the primary lens that shoots the best pictures out of the two. It’s the best example of a useful foldable layout that we’ve encountered so far.įire up the camera on the Find N2 Flip and you’ll have the choice of using two lenses: a 50 megapixel (MP) wide, and an 8MP ultrawide. Both screens have excellent resolution, and the 120Hz refresh rate on the main display delivers an extremely smooth experience. Honestly, we didn’t use the front screen too much during day-to-day use, but we like that launching the camera when in the closed position lets you take pictures with the main 50MP lens, and it’s nice for getting access to notifications rather than having to always open the handset. We like that you can use the front screen to quickly reply to texts, and while there’s not too much in the way of extra customisation, we like how you can set a wallpaper that’s different from the main display. We used it to show the weather and a menu that quickly launches the camera, but you can add more shortcut widgets here, including a calendar and timer. This 3.26-inch display (as big as those on the back of most digital cameras) mainly shows you the time, date and battery life, but swipe right to left and you’ll find some customised apps. It’s barely visible when the handset’s off, and almost totally disappears with the display on. Sure, you’ll feel the crease if you run your fingers down the front, but you’ll only see it under harsher lighting conditions, such as outdoors when it's sunny. Yes, even as foldables are praised for innovation one of our gripes has been the ridge that runs along the middle of these models. Oppo says that the hinge has been durability-tested with more than 400,000 folds, and we’ve no complaints about the strength or smoothness after our hands-on time. It’s sturdy and the hinge never felt fragile – a big concern for a device that’s constantly being snapped open and shut. We tested the black model (it also comes in purple), and we like the combination of the matte material with an aluminium frame. We felt comfortable holding it in public without a case, although a transparent one comes in the box, so you get protection without having to invest more money in a cover. And, unlike on Google’s flagship, the plastic back casing adds some extra grippiness to the handset. ![]() When open, it’s roughly the same size and thickness as our Pixel 7 Pro, meaning it’s possible to use and carry this as a “normal” phone, too. It closes with a satisfying pop, and the case sits fully flush when closed. While it won’t attract attention in its open position as it looks like any other Android phone at a glance, the clamshell design means the top half of the handset folds down over the bottom half in one motion – instantly making it more pocketable. ![]() Like other foldables, the Oppo Find N2 Flip has the “wow” factor that you feel when bending the front panel into its closed position. MicroSD slot: No Oppo Find N2 Flip design Resolution: 1080 x 2520 pixels (main), 382 x 720 pixels frontĬameras: 50MP main, 8MP ultrawide, 32MP selfie Screen size: 6.8-inch main, 3.26-inch front But here’s the biggest compliment that we can give the Find N2 Flip: we would gladly use it as our main handset even if it didn’t fold. It’s roughly the same size and weight as a Google Pixel 7 Pro and has a functional front display, too. At £849, it’s more affordable than its Android-powered rivals, and the crease that runs across the middle of the smartphone is subtle. In our opinion, it’s the first bendy phone that doesn’t feel like a novelty. The Oppo Find N2 Flip is here to shake things up. Both are expensive, and both have a crease that’s far too visible for our liking. The same brand’s Flip series is smaller, but the front screen is too snug to be useful and the phone doesn’t close flat when closed. Samsung’s Galaxy Fold is a nice concept, but it’s chunky and cumbersome to wield if you’re used to a handset like the Pixel or iPhone. Foldable phones turn heads but using them on a day-to-day basis can be a struggle.
