Oppo hinge patent

As we all know, in recent years, folding screen mobile phones have become a hit, and many mobile phone manufacturers have launched related products. But I personally don't really care, for several reasons. First, the folding screen has obvious pain points, creases and insufficient adaptability. Second, the high price of more than 10,000 yuan is really prohibitive. Third, I have experienced several folding screen phones before, which didn't particularly appeal to me.

Of course, the above views are just the conclusions I reached before experiencing the new generation flagship folding screen Find N of OPPO. After I experienced this folding screen of OPPO, my thoughts changed completely. I was deeply impressed by the brand-new golden folding ratio, self-developed precise pseudo-vertebral hinge, almost wrinkle-free screen and multi-angle free hovering. The official also said that this product is at the leading level in screen, design technology and hinge, and its appearance will surely become a reshuffle of the industry.

There is no evidence in your mouth. Does OPPO Find N really solve the pain point of folding screen as the official said, and can the actual experience really make people enjoy it? You have to go through the actual in-depth experience to get the answer Let's get to know each other.

appearance design

My first feeling after getting OPPO Find N is that this folding screen phone is very small and exquisite. It seems that OPPO should put a lot of effort into it, and the air quality is full. Let's take a look at several of its screens. First, its external screen is only 5.49 inches, which is equivalent to the size of iPhone 13 mini. The internal screen is larger, with a size of 7. 1 inch. However, if compared with Huawei Mate X2, Xiaomi Mix Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3, OPPO Find N is still small and exquisite, and it is superior in portability.

After measuring the weight, the weight of OPPO folding screen is only 275g, which is 42g lighter than that of Xiaomi Mix Fold folding screen, which shows the intention of OPPO in design and development. For most friends who don't have an introduction to OPPO Find N, 275g may have no concept, or it can be considered that it is similar to iPhone 13 Pro Max with a set of films, so there are probably a few, and you won't feel tired when you get it.

Screen experience

As I said before, other folding screens can't completely attract me, but after experiencing OPPO Find N, I think it has done it. The reason is that OPPO is in place in the design and distribution of external and internal screens. The external screen adopts the ratio of 18: 9, which is the ratio of mainstream bar phones in the past. One-handed operation can cover most screens. This external screen is a 5.49-inch OLED screen with a refresh rate of 60Hz. 60Hz is enough to check the off-screen time and reply messages, with lower power consumption.

The internal screen of OPPO Find N is a 7. 1 inch Samsung E5 120Hz LTPO screen, with a ratio of 8.4: 9, which looks a bit close to a square. After opening, it is a horizontal screen, and you can get a big screen experience that conforms to human intuition without rotation.

After the actual experience, the overall look and feel of OPPO Find N is quite good. When watching the video, the barrage also moved to the blank space of the screen, thus realizing interactive viewing. When brushing Tik Tok, if it is a horizontal screen, it is a perfect match with the screen of Find N. If it is a vertical screen, you can see more details. When playing some strategy games, a larger vision can show more content and be more immersed.

Crease is definitely an inevitable problem of folding machine, and it may also be the problem that everyone is most concerned about. This time, Find N can hardly see creases from the front or side, and it has to be found from some tricky angles, which is better than other manufacturers' folding screens. The whole screen is flat to use. Although the screen of OPPO Find N is developed * * *(Samsung * * *, it mainly uses the water drop hinge design developed by OPPO. Official experimental data show that after one month of use, the crease of the water drop hinge is reduced by 30% compared with the traditional screen. In addition to the shallow creases, the gaps in the screen have also become smaller. In this way, OPPO Find N should be the lightest crease in the folding screen mobile phone at present, which also verifies the sentence: "The appearance of OPPO Find N will surely become a reshuffle of the industry."

Hover shooting experience

As an excellent folding screen mobile phone, smooth opening and closing feel and hovering experience are definitely essential. To this end, Find N adds a complex mechanical structure to the compact body. After practical experience, the whole opening and closing process is still very smooth, supporting 50- 120 degree free hovering. The closing of the mechanical structure is accompanied by the crisp sound when it is completely closed, and every time it is closed, it makes me feel inexplicable.

The design of hovering has also added many interesting new ways to find n, for example, when we watch video on the big screen, we will bend the screen to a certain angle and enter the hovering mode. At this time, the big screen is divided into two parts, and the video that is still playing on it becomes the touchpad below, which can drag and drop the video, adjust the volume and brightness and pause the play, and the screen will switch with the rotation. If rounded, I'll get a free cell phone stand. And if girls are using this folding screen phone, they can also use it as a cosmetic mirror by hovering the phone.

OPPO Find N's free hovering function also brings new shooting methods, such as shooting time-lapse photography through hovering mode and shooting stable unsupported blockbusters. When shooting with the rear camera, the camera picture can be displayed on the external screen in real time, and the subject can adjust his posture according to the camera picture. With the external screen blessing, you can even take a selfie through the rear main camera to provide a better imaging quality. OPPO Find N can easily meet most daily needs, but it also brings a lot of gameplay.

System experience

Find N is equipped with OPPO's latest ColorOS 12 system, and has also been upgraded and optimized for folding screens. When we click a pen in the middle of the screen, we can open the application split screen, which is a bit like the previous fruit ninja cutting fruit, which is simpler and more direct than the previous split screen operation. You can also drag the application out through the smart sidebar to open the split screen, click the junction of the middle application, drag and adjust the application proportion, click the exchange application position, and save the split screen combination to the desktop.

However, there are also some areas that I personally think can be improved. For example, it needs to pinch four fingers to switch the full screen to floating window mode. Although it is convenient to use, wouldn't it be easier if it could be realized with one finger? Other experiences are great. For example, when opening Taobao, Weibo and other apps, you can open parallel windows, so that one screen can be used for both purposes, saving time and effort while browsing efficiently. This time, the relay of large and small screens was also arranged. There are three modes to choose from, which are closed for direct use, sliding upward for continuous use and screen rest. My choice here is to close and continue to use. After the actual experience, it is basically seamless and very comfortable. Of course, friends who want to save electricity can choose screen mode.

Duration performance

Finally, let's take a look at endurance performance. OPPO Find N has a battery capacity of 4500mAh and supports 33W flash charging. After the actual experience, it can charge 64% in 30 minutes, and it only takes 55 minutes to charge to 100%. Compared with other folding screen phones, the charging speed is quite good, but unfortunately it didn't flash to 65W, otherwise it was a lore!

However, it is also a big surprise that the saved volume is exchanged for a compact body and 15W wireless charging+10W wireless reverse charging. Can only say that each has its own trade-offs. After all, the wireless charging of the folding screen flagship machine is also necessary, and the feel is also critical. After using these days, I charged once a day, and basically had no endurance anxiety.

abstract

After experiencing OPPO Find N, I still have some feelings. This folding screen can be said to achieve the balance between the inner screen and the outer screen, that is, both internal and external repair, and reduce the screen size while ensuring the visual effect of the inner screen. When using the external screen, you can complete simple office work with one hand. When using the internal screen, you can also get an intuitive big screen experience for the human eye.

The relatively compact body also brings good portability and user experience. Perhaps this half-balanced design is the future development direction of folding screen mobile phones. OPPO is like a successful exploration, which really attracts me. Of course, it doesn't mean that this folding screen flagship has nothing I think can be upgraded. I think I hope to upgrade in the next generation, such as 33W fast charge and side fingerprint, but this is not a disadvantage. For most target users, it has little or no impact, but it also has lighter weight and good feel, which is a better daily experience for users.
