OPPO has finally launched its first-ever foldable flagship smartphone, the OPPO Find N, on the second day of its annual INNO DAY 2021. The new smartphone is the fruit of OPPO’s four years of R&D and six generations of folding smartphone prototypes.
Pete Lau, Chief Product Officer of OPPO, said, “New form factors are ushering in an exciting new time in smartphone technology. OPPO has invested a significant amount of time and effort into coming up with a better approach to a foldable smartphone, experimenting with a range of form factors, hinge designs, display materials and aspect ratios, to create a new device that meets the needs of more users. With the OPPO Find N, we aim to change people’s perceptions about what a smartphone can offer and begin making foldable devices more accessible to an even larger audience.”
The OPPO Find N features an inner and an outer display with the latter having an aspect ratio close to a regular smartphone. Inside is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor coupled with 12GB RAM and a 512 UFS 3.1 internal storage. The inner folding screen is a 12-layer LTPO Serene Display that features a 1-120Hz refresh rate and a Flexion UTG (ultra-thin glass) that is thinner than the ones used by other foldable devices with the same material. While at the back sits a triple rear camera set-up that is comprised of a main camera, ultra-wide, and telephoto.
