Oppo Find N long-term review

Introduction

Ah, foldables. For more than a decade, the dream of a folding smartphone screen has existed. It seemed like the future. This all changed just a few years ago and Samsung is now on its third generation of folding smartphones. According to the story, there has been many improvements. Perhaps this is why we are finally seeing the folding revolution.

We decided to discover the truth by giving the Oppo Find N a lengthy review. We’ve played with it for a few months, and have used it as our one and only smartphone during that time. As with all reviews there will be time limitations. But there weren’t any here. So we had plenty of time to get to know the Find N and live with its quirks and features. We feel that we are now able to share with you our experiences using the foldable device every day, including the bad parts.

This one seems to be one of the best foldables yet, if not the best, with its zero-gap folding and especially the dimensions. It’s a breath of fresh air that sits neatly in between Samsung’s Fold and Flip lines in size, which should mean it’s both easier to use than the Folds and has much more screen real estate than the Flips. The best of both?

Join us over the next few pages as we find out. Important note: The Find N service is not currently offered internationally via official channels. It looks as though that will remain the case for the foreseeable future. Our review unit is meant for the Chinese market. As such, there are a ton of hardware (specifically in 5G and 4G support) and software differences compared to what you’d get in a theoretical global model. Although we don’t believe most people need to import one of these models, we weren’t able to ignore the opportunity. Let’s now look at what the Oppo Find N does.
