Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

In the early morning of the 11th Beijing time, the 2023 Google I / O developers Conference opened, at which Google released its first folding screen phone, the Pixel Fold, officially announcing its entry into the folding screen mobile phone field.

The back of the Pixel Fold body is designed in a Pixel series design language, and the camera part is bulged with three cameras, including a 4800-megapixel camera with f / 1.7 aperture, a 1080-megapixel telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom and an 10.8MP ultra-wide-angle lens with f / 2.2 aperture.

In the core configuration of Pixel Fold, Pixel Fold uses LPDDR5 memory of 12GB, with two storage versions of 256GB and 512GB, and is equipped with Tensor G2 chipset. Thanks to the improved Samsung 5nm process, its performance is better than that of Pixel 7 series.

However, netizens are more concerned about the screen shape design of Google Pixel Fold than configuration information, and there was a heated discussion on the Internet after the release of Pixel Fold, because its shape is easily reminiscent of another folding screen phone, the OPPO Find N series.

Pixel Fold Yes, from the design of the inner and outer screens of the Pixel Fold, they are similar to the OPPO Find N series of horizontal folding screen phones. They are not the "remote control" shape of the traditional folding screen phones, but are all in the form of "Pangpang". The outer screen size ratio is connected to a traditional straight board machine, and the horizontal screen is turned on.

OPPO Find N2, of course, what needs to be emphasized here is that there is no problem of "plagiarism". It can only be said that great minds think alike-good design will certainly resonate with the industry. OPPO's forward-looking research and insight in the folding screen industry predicted the lightweight trend of horizontal folding screen, and let OPPO take the lead in the industry and become a leading brand.

In the lightweight design, for example, thanks to the new generation of ultra-lightweight Seiko vertebra hinges and the application of innovative materials, OPPO Find N2 set a new weight record for transverse folding machine-only 233g (plain leather version), the lightest horizontal form folding phone in the industry. For comparison, the iPhone 14 Pro Max weighs 240g oppo Find N2 has reached the weight range of the current flagship machine.

At the same time, the OPPO Find N2 inner screen size of OPPO Find N2 is 7.1in, and the 8.4 OPPO Find 9 ratio looks like a square. In the expanded state, you can use it directly by opening the app, rather than rotating the angle first, as other folding screen phones do.

The OPPO Find N2 also continues the excellent grip feel of the previous generation. The 5.54-inch, 17.7-to-9 display screen is like the screen of a smartphone in earlier years, and the app does not require additional optimization. It can be used as a home screen around the clock if you like.

The function of hovering space is also added to the interaction. Take hovering space as an example, as long as you expand the phone and keep hovering, you can enter the new customized hovering interface. The application of hovering space is divided into four categories: camera, video, music and sports. Users can double-click the bottom trackpad to enter the application. Continue watching videos, listening to music, or continuing yoga, etc.

OPPO Find N2 can be said to have the weight of a straight phone, but it brings a "more experience than a straight phone".

With its strong product power, OPPO Find N2 series helped OPPO win the first market share of China's folding screen category in the first quarter:

CINNO statistics show that OPPO sales in January 2023 increased by 483% compared with the same period last year, ranking first in the domestic market No.1 with a 30% share. It is worth noting that OPPO has firmly occupied the No. 1 position in the domestic folding screen market since the 52nd week of 2022.

OPPO not only has the policy foresight in the folding screen shape design, but also has been promoting the rapid progress of the industry with its own efforts in the large screen adaptation experience.

According to relevant reports, OPPO has maintained close co-creation with Google for a long time. For example, OPPO and Google conduct many rounds of communication on the evolution of folding screen every quarter, including research and innovation on the adaptive form of small, medium and large screens, split-screen framework, general hover mode interface, Dock column layout, and so on, which continue to bring a more extreme experience to the folding screen ecology.

There is no denying that OPPO has made an outstanding contribution and influence to the system adaptation of today's folding screen, and it is closely related to think back to the reason why Google Pixel Fold can adopt a design similar to OPPO Find N.

It is worth mentioning that after the opening of the Google I / O developer Conference in 2023, OPPO was the first to announce that the OPPO Find N2 series of folding screens will be the first to adapt to Android 14, the first large Android version of OPPO in five years in a row.

Building on the previous Android version, Android 14 strengthens its support for large-screen devices such as tablets and collapsible devices, resulting in a smarter system interface. In terms of performance, Android 14 supports more efficient memory management, increasing resource utilization when applications are running in the background. At the same time, the new version also has new improvements in privacy and security.

Not only does OPPO have an absolute say in the field of folding screens, but it is also a strong promoter of Android as a whole.

Sales in China's smartphone market fell 5.4% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2023, narrowing the decline from the previous quarter, according to data from third-party research institutions. Among them, OPPO (including one plus) ranks first in the Android brand with an 18% share.

OPPO's overall leadership in the smartphone market is the result of OPPO's "accumulated strength" in innovation and research and development under the concept of "science and technology for good". Under the strong leadership of OPPO, what surprises will folding screen shape design and interactive innovation bring? Let's look forward to it!
