OPPO India is slated to launch its premium foldable handset, the Find N3 Flip in two colours: Cream Gold and Sleek Black. The sleek handset offers a slew of upgrades over the previous generation Find N2 Flip that include an improved Flexion hinge design, added functionality for its large vertical cover screen, and a triple main camera setup – the first on a flip phone.
Premium & Elegant Pocket-sized Design
The design of the OPPO Find N3 Flip melds both style and functionality; it sports a Gorilla Glass 7 cover back where a diamond highlight blade is used to cut the middle frame into two sharp edges to make the bottom appear even slimmer and straighter. When folded, the Find N3 Flip measures just 85.54mm—half the size of a regular smartphone—to conveniently fit into any pocket or purse. It weighs just 198g and is a mere 7.79mm slim when open.
The device comes with a smooth 120Hz 6.8-inch 403ppi display with TÜV Rheinland Intelligent Eye Care certification thanks to its Eye Comfort Tone technology that uses ambient light prediction to ensure eye comfort even after prolonged use. As part of its multi-layer screen protection, this display employs a patented stainless steel mesh matrix that smoothens the folded drop shape and reduces the crease.
For the first time, OPPO has also added an Alert Slider to its smartphone. Using this mechanical control on the left edge of the device, users can switch between three modes—Silent, Vibrate and Ring—without opening the Find N3 Flip.
For the hinge in the Find N3 Flip, the single friction plate of the previous generation Find N2 Flip has been upgraded to a dual friction plate structure to improve its FlexForm stability. Users can find the perfect angle as FlexForm mode holds the phone in the chosen position.
OPPO uses aircraft-grade high-strength steel at core load-bearing positions to improve durability and increase deformation resistance from drops by 25% when compared with the Find N2 Flip.
Like the previous generation, the hinge on the device sports a micro-carved flowing texture. This aesthetic touch is achieved by carving the surface up to 12,000 times for three minutes to show a dazzling effect like the water waves on the metal hinge.
