Oppo Find N2 Flip

Oppo's Find N2 Flip is a new clamshell foldable phone that competes with Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 4. With a larger external display, longer battery life, and a higher resolution camera, can it challenge Samsung's dominance in the foldable phone market?&nbsp;

Oppo's Find N2 Flip is a new clamshell foldable phone that competes with Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 4. With a larger external display, longer battery life, and a higher resolution camera, it is poised to challenge Samsung's dominance in the foldable phone market.&nbsp;
COVER DISPLAY
Despite having undergone four iterations, the Galaxy Z Flip still has a small outer display that lacks essential functions. In contrast, Oppo has hit the nail on the head with the N2 Flip's impressive 3.26-inch vertical cover screen, which surpasses those of Samsung and Motorola's flip phones. The extra space allows you to view more notifications at once, reply to messages faster, and take better selfies or videos.

HINGE DESIGN &amp; BATTERY
Additionally, the N2 Flip has an improved inner display with a less noticeable crease when compared to the Flip 4. This is due to the new-generation Flexion hinge with a waterdrop design, which allows for a wider fold radius and a smoother surface when unfolded. While the crease is still somewhat visible, it's less prominent than on other foldable devices.
As for the durability, the hinge has been certified to endure 400,000 opening and closing actions, providing assurance that the phone will last as long as a standard smartphone. Furthermore, Oppo has effectively minimized the size of the hinge, so there is no gap when the phone is closed and there is now extra room inside the handset, enabling the company to fit a larger 4,300 mah battery. This is the biggest battery you'll find on any clamshell foldable, and it lasted me for almost 13 hours with around 5 hours of screen time on a single charge. These figures are way better than what the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 can deliver with its 3,7000 mah battery.&nbsp;
Regrettably, wireless charging is not available but it didn't bother me much as the phone charges fully in under an hour at 44W, which is faster than any Samsung foldable. Moreover, Oppo deserves credit for including a charging adapter and a protective case in the box, as these are now considered rare features in the premium smartphone segment.
INNER DISPLAY
In terms of dimensions, the N2 Flip is a little heavier and thicker than the Galaxy Z flip 4 but it compensates for that extra heft with a bigger 6.8-inch inner display that features Full HD+ resolution and LTPO AMOLED technology.&nbsp;
Content looks sharp and vibrant with minimal colour distortion, even when viewed from different angles. The display supports a variable refresh rate ranging from 1Hz to 120Hz, which results in better power efficiency, and the screen's peak brightness of 1,600 nits makes it perfectly suitable for use in direct sunlight. On top of that, you get minimal bezels all around and a loud set of stereo speakers, ensuring an immersive experience.&nbsp;
SOFTWARE
ColorOS 13's visual appeal is also noticeable on that huge screen, along with helpful features that improve multitasking, such as split-screen capability, floating windows, and a smart sidebar.&nbsp; Oppo even matches Samsung's software policy by offering 4 years of major OS updates and 5 years of security patches.
PERFOMRANCE&nbsp;
Specs wise, the company has opted for MediaTek's Dimensity 9000+ chip rather than a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. Although this is quite similar to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, and the difference in day-to-day usage is likely to be minimal.
During my weeks' worth of usage, I mostly utilized the N2 Flip for typical smartphone stuff such as taking photos, browsing social media, and a bit of light reading.
Throughout this time, the phone operated seamlessly without any lags or app crashes, and no irregularities whatsoever. Playing graphic-intensive games like COD Mobile on the N2 Flip was a breeze, but I wouldn't recommend prolonged gaming on any foldable phone as the screen isn't really designed for that, and if you have long nails, you always run the risk of damaging the screen.
Additionally, I conducted benchmark tests and the results were reasonably satisfactory, although they did fall behind the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. There's also 8GB of RAM on tap and 256GB of storage, which should be enough for most people. Naturally, 5G is available too, along with Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 6 and dual sim support.&nbsp;
CAMERAS
When it comes to optics, the phone comes equipped with two rear cameras, consisting of a 50MP primary lens and an 8MP ultrawide lens. The main camera is powered by the Sony IMX890 sensor, which is the same sensor used in the OnePlus 11. It can capture aesthetically pleasing shots, but what's more impressive is that the images retain a natural appearance. This is largely thanks to the collaboration between Oppo, and the German camera manufacturer Hasselblad, which developed the famous "Hasselblad colour tuning." This collaboration also brings in additional benefits, such as Hasselblad's pro mode and the classic Xpan mode, which produces very creative results.
The ultrawide camera isn't spectacular but it is still a nice addition to have, and I noticed that its colour reproduction is consistent with the main sensor. Moving on to the front camera, you have the option to use the 32-megapixel snapper located on the phone's folding screen to capture selfies. The results aren't bad at all, but I suggest using the rear camera to take high-resolution selfies while utilizing the large cover screen as a viewfinder. The contrast in quality is definitely noticeable.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT
In many ways, the N2 Flip is an extremely polished product, but there is still some scope for improvement. One notable area pertains to pre-installed bloatware apps, which seem excessive for a top-tier smartphone. In addition to this, the device lacks an official water resistance rating, which is a disadvantage compared to Samsung's foldable phones that come with an IPX8 rating. I would also have appreciated a wider colour selection for the N2 Flip. At the moment, it only comes in Black and Purple, leaving little room for variety between plain and flamboyant options..
There are limitations in the video department as well. The ultrawide camera can only record up to 1080p 30fps, and while the main camera shoots up to 4K 30fps, it is questionable why it doesn't support 4K 60fps recording, especially at this price point.
Then there's the cover display, which I often felt wasn't living up to its full potential. It can only accommodate a couple of widgets, and while some of these utilize the available screen space well, the overall experience feels limited. For example, when viewing email notifications, only the subject line is visible, and with the weather widget, I could only view the weather conditions for the next four hours without the ability to scroll for additional information.&nbsp;
More annoyingly, you can't quickly open the camera by double-pressing the power button like on most other Android phones, which made me less excited to take pictures with this phone.
VERDICT
To be fair, despite all these criticisms, I still think the N2 Flip is a well-rounded device. It looks great, takes good photos and offers reliable performance.
&nbsp;More importantly though, the N2 Flip is a genuine alternative to the Galaxy Z Flip 4, and if I'm being completely honest, it's about time that someone finally challenged Samsung's dominance in the foldable smartphone market.&nbsp;

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 Review: No Compromise!

Galaxy Z Fold4

The Galaxy Z Fold4 is the latest, large folding phone from Samsung, and with new hardware under the hood, it just might be the best one ever

Whenever you buy any product, there are usually three things you have to look out for. Let&rsquo;s think of it as a pyramid. You have one side for Quality, one for Features, and one for VFM or value for money. Now, you're probably asking yourself--"why is he talking about all this right before a phone review?" Well, that's because Samsung has taken this theory, and torn it up, to make the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-4-hands-on-and-first-look-1661341271795">Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4</a>.
Now despite my dramatic intro, I must admit&mdash;I didn&rsquo;t have high expectations from the Fold4. Let&rsquo;s face it&mdash;the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/samsung-galaxy-z-fold3-5g-review-evolution-is-a-beautiful-thing-1630663535027">Fold3</a> wasn&rsquo;t exactly a huge upgrade over the Fold2 despite all its improvements, but this new Fold? It makes all the previous Folds feel obsolete, in a way that&rsquo;s quite hard to describe, but I am going to give it my best shot.
So let&rsquo;s start with the major things that are new on the Fold4.
You get the new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, displays that 'feel' larger, a new hinge, and a I cannot stress this enough&mdash;a much, much better set of cameras. If you&rsquo;ve been thinking of getting a Fold device for a while and the cameras have been holding you back, you&rsquo;re gonna want to watch the camera section of this video when I get to it.
Anyway, that new chipset&mdash;it&rsquo;s obviously great, we know that about the 8+ Gen 1 by now. It offers really smooth performance, doesn&rsquo;t really heat up much and thermal throttle, which is all similar to what we&rsquo;ve seen on other phones with this chipset. Being a Fold device, it also has 12GB RAM, so things like three-window split-screen multi-tasking are a breeze to run. I even tested DeX mode on the Fold4 a bit, it&rsquo;s something I use occasionally at home for doing research and writing scripts, and it performed really well, and barely lost any battery life during a couple of sessions. Neither screen on the Fold is really made for gaming, and I definitely won&rsquo;t recommend doing it on the inner screen if you&rsquo;ve got slightly long nails, but if you want to, you can play COD Mobile and other graphic intensive games on it quite easily.
Now, speaking of the screens, I said before that they both &ldquo;felt&rdquo; slightly bigger.
The cover display is still 6.2-inches across, gets that same HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, but it spreads further into the frame than ever before. So the bezels are much, much smaller, and if you compare it to the previous gen, you can see that the lining for the hinge on both the front and back is practically gone. It&rsquo;s still the same width as the Fold3, but crucially, it&rsquo;s a few millimetres shorter, and just that little change makes the cover display feel bigger. It&rsquo;s now a lot easier to type on and use one-handed, and I found myself using the inner display almost only for multi-tasking or watching content.
Speaking of which, the inner screen, like the cover display, feels slightly larger thanks to smaller bezels. It also looks quite different visually, because the bezels around the plastic lip of the display have been reduced, and it just amplifies that large screen experience.
Specs-wise though, the display seems to be the same, it still offers great colours for watching content, and has that 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling. It&rsquo;s still plastic and feels like it could get pierced by long fingernails, so that&rsquo;s worth keeping in mind. Now Samsung hasn&rsquo;t explicitly said that the display resolution has been boosted, they still say it&rsquo;s a QXGA+ panel, but if you look closely at that under-display selfie camera, it certainly seems a bit more circular than the one on the Fold3. Selfies taken using that camera do leave something to be desired, most pictures still end up looking quite hazy and lack detail, but if you really want high quality shots of yourself you can just use the cover display camera, or the rear cameras, using the cover screen as a viewfinder.
The screen still has a crease, which is still just as pronounced, so a crease-less design might be on the cards in a future generation of the Fold. It is surprising though that the crease is the same, considering the Hinge this time is new, and when I first saw that announcement at the launch event I thought maybe it&rsquo;ll also have some effect on the crease. But it hasn&rsquo;t, and everything new with the hinge is geared more towards making the Fold4 lighter and slimmer. It has made a bigger difference than you&rsquo;d think, and again, it ties into what I said before about making the phone easier to use.

Then there&rsquo;s the fourth new thing I mentioned&mdash;the upgraded cameras. So Folds in the past have always had pretty decent cameras, but never anything close to the flagship S-series phones, and that was always a bit of sore point considering the money you need to spend on buying a Fold. But, with the Fold4, Samsung has fixed that, and they&rsquo;ve given it the same cameras as the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/gadget-review/samsung-galaxy-s22-s22-review-the-most-refined-android-phones-1646985533521">S22 and S22+</a>.
So there&rsquo;s still a 12MP ultra-wide sensor, but that primary sensor is now a 50MP unit, and the telephoto has been upgraded to a 10MP sensor with 3x optical zoom.
Now I&rsquo;ve used hundreds of smartphones by now with all manner of hardware and software processing, so trust me when I say this&mdash;the Fold4 has possibly the best camera system I&rsquo;ve ever used to date.
Daylight shots were very well exposed, with controlled highlights and balanced HDR. Colours were vibrant, in true Samsung fashion, but processing rarely felt overdone, which was quite surprising to see. What was even more surprising though, was how well the processing for the 3x portrait mode was, because no matter what subject I put in front of it, I got extremely clean edge detection and natural depth of field that I can honestly say could go up against some mirrorless cameras out there.
Low-light performance was equally impressive, with highlights not getting blown out, and very little grain or noise in really dark images.
Even when it came to videos, I was really pleased with the results. In daylight, exposure and white-balance were managed well, with smooth stabilisation even at 60fps. Low-light videos also turned out pretty great, with excellent colour reproduction without any major grain or lens flare.
Basically, no matter what the situation, I got a great shot from the Fold4 on a consistent basis, and if you ask me, this is the camera system that the Fold series deserved to have from day one.
Anyway, apart from everything that&rsquo;s new, there&rsquo;s still some things worth mentioning that make the Fold experience a step above a regular phone. For example, you can still run multiple apps in split-screen on a massive canvas one minute and fold the phone shut to take a long call the next, which is still a very cool thing, even after four generations. Then there&rsquo;s the IPX8 rating so you can rest easy about minor splashes, and Gorilla Glass Victus+ on both the front and back that helped keep the phone scratch-free when I accidentally dropped it on a marble floor.
Another notable mention is the stainless-steel sides, which don&rsquo;t look as cool or smudge-free as the previous matte-finish we&rsquo;ve seen, but they do make the phone a lot grippier to hold and use with just one hand.
While the Fold4 is amazing in many, many ways, there are a couple of drawbacks. For example, it still doesn&rsquo;t sit right with me that a phone that costs ₹1,54,999, doesn&rsquo;t come with a charger&mdash;Samsung can say what it likes about saving the environment, but the simple fact is that the first Fold shipped with a charger, case, and a pair of wireless earbuds and at this price point, that should have never changed.
Another slightly sore point for me is the lack of a pre-applied screen protector for the cover display, which Samsung now sells separately at a cost of ₹1,699. Now, sure, anyone spending this much a phone is probably not going to think twice about spending a bit more on a screen protector, but this just feels like a blatant cost-cutting strategy.
On the plus side, you still get a respectable 4,400mAh battery, you still get wireless charging, and of course, reverse wireless charging as well.
You also get One UI 4.1.1 based on Android 12L, and the Fold4 is incidentally one of the first devices out there to ship with this version of Android, which is optimised for tablet and foldable screens, so you&rsquo;ll get this permanent taskbar at the bottom which you can toggle on or off, and better optimisation for how apps look on the inner screen by default.
Also, being a Samsung flagship, you&rsquo;re sure to get four major OS upgrades, which is always a great thing to see at a time when other brands have begun to settle for less.

So, that about rounds up the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4. Better hinge, better screens, and finally, cameras worthy of a foldable phone. There&rsquo;s a lot of people out there this year that have complained about Samsung becoming complacent due to its position in the foldable market, but honestly? They had no reason to make the Fold4 this good, but they did it anyway, and to me, that makes all the difference.
