FULL STORY ======================================================================

Chinese companies seem really keen to get their phones out before the end of the year, as hot on the heels of the Xiaomi 13 launch, theres now the Oppo Find N2 and Oppo Find N2 Flip two new foldable phones designed to compete with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 .

These have just been unveiled on day two of Oppos annual Inno Day event, but as with the Xiaomi 13, this initial launch is just for China. However, Oppo has been a bit more specific about its global plans than Xiaomi; saying that the Oppo Find N2 Flip will be launching overseas including most countries in Europe in Q1 2023. So sometime between January and March 2023.

Sadly, theres no word on a global launch for the company's Z Fold rival, the standard Oppo Find N2, so that might remain exclusively in China; especially as the original Oppo Find N isnt widely available either.

As for the specs, well start with the Oppo Find N2 Flip, since thats the one youll most likely actually be able to buy; a clamshell foldable like the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Motorola Razr (2022) with some selling points all its
own.

The highlight is the biggest cover screen on any flip-style foldable phone so far, which has the potential to render the Oppo Find N2 Flip far more useful when folded shut than most clamshell foldables.

Oppo claims you can view up to six notifications on this display at once, and also use it to preview photos taken by the phone's flagship-level cameras.

The Find N2 Flip also has a 4,300mAh battery, which Oppo claims offers "all-day life", plus theres a powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9000 Plus chipset
at its heart, and an apparently "almost-invisible" crease; we'll believe it when we (don't) see it. The rest of the specs are yet to be revealed, at the time of writing. An Oppo Find N2 (Image credit: Oppo)

As for the Oppo Find N2, thats a larger foldable, along the lines of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. It has a 7.1-inch 1792 x 1920 foldable main display that uses AMOLED tech and has a dynamic refresh rate of up to 120Hz.

Theres also a 5.54-inch 1080 x 2120 AMOLED external display, with a 120Hz refresh rate, and the phone comes powered by a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, along with up to 16GB of RAM.

Theres up to 512GB of storage, a 4,520mAh battery with 67W charging, 5G support, and a triple-lens camera, with a 50MP f/1.8 main sensor, a 48MP
f/2.2 ultra-wide, and a 32MP f/2.0 telephoto. There are also two 32MP selfie cameras, and the Oppo Find N2 runs Android 13 , with Oppos ColorOS 13 interface.

Its clad in tough Gorilla Glass Victus on both the front and back (in white and green), while the back of the black model is instead wrapped in vegan leather. It also weighs just 233g in black or 237g in the other shades, which makes it lighter than the 240g iPhone 14 Pro Max , despite that phone not being foldable.

Its a packed year for foldable phones, and especially for clamshell ones,
with the Oppo Find N2 Flip having competition from the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip
4 and the Motorola Razr (2022).

We wont do a full specs comparison here not least because we dont have a
full specs list for Oppos phone but the Find N2 Flip looks to stand out through its large cover screen and its 4,300mAh battery, which is significantly larger than the 3,700mAh one in the Z Flip 4 or the 3,500mAh
one in the Razr (2022).

The crease in Oppos phone is possibly less visible too, but we wont be sure
of that until weve tested it.

As for the Motorola Razr (2022), highlights include a 144Hz refresh rate, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 offers water resistance, and both the Samsung and the Motorola have a powerful Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset.

We wont know exactly how the Oppo Find N2 Flip stacks up until weve used it, but from what weve heard so far, it certainly sounds like it could be one of the best foldable phones .
