Have you ever used a flip phone? I still remember that in the era of feature phones at the beginning of the 21st century, flip phones were all the rage. In addition to being easy to answer calls with a wave of your hand, they also had a foldable and portable design. Unfortunately, with the proliferation of touch-screen smartphones, people no longer need physical phones. The demand for keyboards and large screens has become mainstream, and flip phones have disappeared, but many people still miss them.
Nowadays, with the development of technology, flip phones have also made a comeback with vertical folding screens. The screen size is almost the same as that of mainstream candy bars. Compared with horizontal folding screens, they are also more lightweight and portable, and can be folded and put into pockets without any pressure. , as someone who once loved flip phones, I naturally coveted this type of product. However, due to the drawback of pocket folding - average battery life, I still didn't fall in love with it in the end.
But now I have finally waited for that pocket folding phone that is good-looking, fun, and long-lasting. It is the vertical folding phone OPPO just released - OPPO Find N2 Flip, except for the extra large one. In addition to the screen that caught my eye, it also has a large 4300mAh battery and 44W super flash charging. With the high energy efficiency Dimensity 900, the hardware configuration is very solid. So what about actual performance? In this issue, I will share with you my usage experience this week, and also serve as a reference for friends who want to buy OPPO Find N2 Flip.
In terms of appearance, the official name of the color scheme I have is Yahei. The overall design is relatively simple, but there are still many small designs, such as the glass back panel with a glittering sand effect, which is vaguely visible. The smooth glossy texture also has a rich matte feel to the touch. It feels comfortable and does not slip easily and does not attract fingerprints. An all-black cover paired with black lenses and external screens will also look more coordinated. The overall body is also relatively rounded, especially the transition from the back cover to the middle frame, which uses 3D glass with a larger arc, which reduces the thickness and makes it more comfortable to hold.
In addition to being printed with the brand logo, the rotating shaft also uses fine carving technology, which has a light and shadow flow effect like water waves under different light angles. In terms of design and workmanship, OPPO has really nailed it.
The folded size of the whole machine is 85.5mm×75.2mm×16.02mm, the unfolded size is 166.2mm×75.2mm×7.45mm, and the weight is 191g, although it is a little heavier than similar products. It's lost, but in exchange for the upgrade in battery and fast charging, I personally feel it is still worth it. Compared with the current mainstream candy bar flagships, OPPO Find N2 Flip is also much thinner and lighter.
Coming to the front, Find N2 Flip is equipped with a 6.8-inch E6 material AMOLED flexible screen, 21:9 size ratio, resolution of 2520x 1080, supports 120Hz refresh rate, and is equipped with adaptive dynamic frequency conversion technology. In the default mode (vivid), the measured maximum brightness is: 560cd/m^2, 99% of the P3 color gamut, and the average color accuracy of 1.44. The movie ratio and narrow frame have a good viewing effect.
Crease is also an issue that everyone is more concerned about. Find N2 Flip can basically achieve no crease performance when the screen is turned on. It is difficult to see even on a white background, but the angle If you are more careful, you can still see the crease. The overall crease will be wider, but relatively shallower. Only by touching it more deliberately can you feel the slight depression. This is also a feature of OPPO folding screens.
As for the hinge supported by the core of the screen, the number of folds for small folds is almost double that of large folds, and the requirements for this hinge are naturally higher. The original water drop hinge of the predecessor Find N was inferior in strength and Durability is excellent. This time, Find N2 Flip uses stronger aerospace-grade alloy materials. At the same time, the core components of the hinge are polished to be smaller and more refined. With the increased strength of the hinge, it is also It reduces the volume and weight of the hinge structure and provides a larger battery reserve for the fuselage.
After the upgraded hinge, the Find N2 Flip can achieve a hovering angle of 45°-110°. This may be to take care of the smoothness of the user's opening and closing. The first half of the opening and closing will be easier, and the middle and rear parts will be easier. The damping will be slightly increased significantly, and when the opening and closing angle is greater than 45°, free hovering at multiple angles can be achieved.
Here we look directly at the minimum and maximum angles of hover.
In terms of imaging, Find N2 Flip is equipped with a 50-megapixel IMX890 main camera and an 8-megapixel IMX355 ultra-wide angle. The front is equipped with an IMX709 super-sensitive bright cat-eye lens, paired with OPPO’s self-developed image NPU Mariana? MariSilicon X and Hasselblad color technology have clear enough resolution and true and natural color performance.
The focus is on the shooting method. Thanks to the vertical folding and multi-angle hovering features of Find N2 Flip, we can unlock more shooting poses. When we fold the phone to a certain angle, the camera will enter split-screen mode. The upper half is the preview screen and the lower half is the functional interface. You can complete shooting with gesture triggering of the shutter without a mobile phone holder. It can also be used as a makeup mirror. Check out the makeup and touch up your makeup.
Continue to press down on the screen to turn on the upward shooting angle, and the screen will automatically adjust the upper and lower split-screen content. You can control the camera's framing and shooting through the lower half of the screen. Low-angle shooting such as shooting stars, city buildings, flowers and grass, etc. will be much more convenient.
What attracts me the most is the extra-large external screen behind Find N2 Flip. With a size of 3.26 inches, it currently ranks at the top of the list of vertical folding screens. The advantage of a large external screen is that it can achieve more Interactive operation, used when folded, the external screen has system service cards such as schedule, weather, camera, timer, headset, etc. The operation logic is the same as the internal screen. Swipe to select and use, swipe up to view system notifications, slide down to Control Center.
What is more interesting is the interactive pet wallpaper on the external screen. There are five exclusive cute pet wallpapers: cow cat, silly dog, jumping bird, little fat mouse, and big-eared rabbit. In the scene, interaction can be triggered by lighting up the external screen or touching the pet's body. For example, the pet can be seen exercising while charging. When playing music, the pet will also wear headphones to listen to music. When the battery is less than 15%, the pet will Shows the state of fatigue and provides real-time interactive companionship to meet your cloud pet-raising needs.
You can also add third-party application cards in the folding screen area in the settings. Currently, the external screen supports watching videos on the Xiaohongshu App. Cards such as payment code cards and music cards will also be added in the future. Enrich external screen usage scenarios.
Usually, the phone is folded and put aside. When a message comes, there is no need to deliberately expand it to reply. The external screen of Find N2 Flip supports one-click reply function. Click the message capsule to select the preset shortcut message and reply with one click. , content can be customized and added, and reply methods such as omoji, emoji, shortcut phrases, and voice-to-text are all supported.
The internal and external screens also have internal and external linkage with one push. When we are waiting in line to pay or take transportation, we only need to drag the payment code or transportation code from the bottom of the screen to the upper left corner, that is, The interface can be pushed to the external screen for display without affecting the use of the internal screen. In this mode, the external screen is always on by default. If you need to close it, just slide down to recall it. Currently, it has been adapted to some service applications such as payment, group purchasing, tickets, and transportation.
In terms of performance, Find N2 Flip is equipped with MediaTek Dimensity 900. Since games such as King of Kings and Chicken Fighting have not yet opened high frame rate modes, here we mainly look at the battery life performance. 4300mAh paired with 44W super flash charging, the hardware configuration is also comparable to the battery life of the flagship candy bar machine. According to the actual test, it charges 62% in 30 minutes, charges to 100% in 50 minutes, and the remaining power is 46% in the three-hour moderate battery life test. Compared with the previous vertical screen The foldable battery life has been greatly improved. When used as a main phone for a day, it can be charged every two days or once a day.
As a small foldable product just released by OPPO, Find N2 Flip is at its peak when it debuts. It has comprehensive upgrades in terms of image, performance, battery life and creases. The large external screen also has rich interactive functions. It is beautiful, fun and practical. , it can be said that it meets all my expectations for pocket folding. Okay, this experience is over. Do you think this Find N2 Flip is worth buying? You may wish to share your views in the comment area. See you next time.
