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

Before evaluating OPPO Find N3 Flip, let's give you a fresh set of data:

According to the Counterpoint report, OPPO Find N2 Flip ranked first with 31% of the market share of small folding screen phones in the first half of 2023.

OPPO Find N2 Flip can stand out among many small folding phones, which come from many aspects of product performance, such as moderate price, outstanding appearance design, more practical large outer screen.

There is no denying that the OPPO Find N2 Flip is a very successful small folding screen phone, but it is not perfect. For example, there are some small "shortcomings" in images. Of course, this is not a problem with OPPO, because today's small folding screen phones are more or less "almost meaningful" in the image part.

On the other hand, the small folding screen is favored by women, but they have a strong demand for portrait shooting, selfie and so on. Especially with this year's OPPO Find X6 series, Reno10 series in the portrait ushered in a huge leap.

So, half a year later, in the key node that won the first place in the small folding screen, OPPO won the attack-- the new OPPO Find N3 Flip officially met with us.

Compared with the previous generation, the OPPO Find N3 Flip continues the elegant folding design and large outer screen arbitrary windows, while focusing on upgrading the image part: this is the first three shots in the small folding phone, and it is also the first time that the portrait lens has landed on the small folding phone.

Next, CTOnews.com will focus on the video portion of the OPPO Find N3 Flip to bring detailed experience reviews.

The first part: the design is the same sentence-you can always believe in the aesthetic of OPPO.

OPPO Find N3 Flip continues OPPO's consistent ultra-high CMF design standards, concise and refined lines, delicate water wave light and shadow shafts, coupled with the "treasure box" shape of the small folding screen phone itself, pushing the aesthetic level of smartphones to a new level.

In terms of color matching, OPPO Find N3 Flip offers three romantic names: moonlight Muse, Mist Rose and Night in the Mirror, just like the romantic design of this small folding screen phone itself.

What CTOnews.com got is the moonlight muse color, which is a bit close to the previous "flowing gold", which is elegant and unconventional light gold and pink gold.

On top of the color, OPPO Find N3 Flip also adds a new water wave texture, which presents a transparent, flowing and light-shadow texture under the glossy glass.

On the hand, the moonlight muse of the OPPO Find N3 Flip is also very silky, and even if it is affixed with fingerprints, it will not be as obvious as the traditional glossy glass, because the "ripple" under the glass covers everything.

The part of the rotating shaft still continues the design of "water wave light and shadow". The exposed part of the metal shaft uses a frosted texture and polishes an S-shaped curve at different light angles, which will be as ethereal and rippling as water waves.

In terms of detailed design, the OPPO Find N3 Flip has ushered in many changes.

For example, with the addition of a new three-segment mute button, the practicality is greatly improved. On this mute button, OPPO also adds the diamond cutting "diamond texture". While it appears exquisite, the toggle button is not easy to slip, which is the perfect unity of aesthetics and practicality.

Another obvious detail change is the camera module part.

From the previous double ring to the current large circular module, three cameras are arranged in an orderly manner in the module, with Hasu's English logo in the middle, and concentric light and shadow texture on the module lens.

Around this module, there are 180 stepped organ grain calibration designs, similar to the moon phase layout on high-end watches and the professional image design language of our own FindX6 series. These details also make the overall precision of the product a step further.

On one side of the camera is OPPO's iconic "vertical oversized outer screen" with a size of 3.2in and a ratio of 17:9. With the advantage of screen size, this outer screen can undertake more daily tasks in daily use. In this section, we will explain in detail the interactive experience later.

The metal middle frame, which is "narrowed" on the OPPO Find N3 Flip, is still a flat design, but the middle frame is narrower, and a highlight "upright edge" is added, making the fuselage thinner and more delicate. On the other hand, the edge of the cover glass is a "75 °superarc glass curve", which extends to the middle frame.

The expanded front screen, equipped with a 6.8in E6 material AMOLED flexible screen, 21:9 size ratio, resolution of 2520 x 1080, up to support 120Hz high brush, and equipped with dynamic adaptive refresh rate technology, support 97% ultra-high color saturation (NTSC), 100%DCI-P3 wide color range.

In the design, the inner screen frame of the OPPO Find N3 Flip is also partially heightened to prevent foreign objects from damaging the screen when the phone is merged.

This screen also ushered in the Find X6 series of the same ProXDR display, the peak brightness reached 1600nit, the global brightness 1200nit, and the album also added a new "ProXDR display" function, which can highlight the light source, sky and other highlighted areas in the sample, which we will discuss in detail later.

In addition, officials say the Find N3 Flip is also the first small folding screen phone with 1440Hz PWM dimming that has passed RWE Intelligent Eye Protection Certification 2.0.

To talk about the old crease problem, like all folding screen phones, the OPPO Find N3 Flip has creases, such as turning off the screen switch angle in strong light, and the crease is more obvious. But daily bright screen use, crease problems can really be ignored, and will not affect the experience.

If you must keep an eye on the crease problem, it is clear that you are not a potential user of a folding screen phone.

In terms of reliability, officials said that the Find N3 Flip inner screen uses 0.03mm ultra-thin flexible glass, and through the Rhine folding worry-free test, can withstand 600,000 limit folding tests, CTOnews.com in the use of this period of time, did not find significant changes in creases.

Finally, the size parameters of the fuselage.

In the folded state, the OPPO Find N3 Flip BWH data are 85.54mm, 75.78mm and 16.45mm, respectively, and the weight is 198g. In a folded state, OPPO Find N3 Flip is like a girl's makeup box, high-end, exquisite, admiring and worth playing with carefully.

In the expanded state, the OPPO Find N3 Flip BWH data is 166.42mm, 75.78mm, 7.79mm, similar to a traditional straight-screen phone, with a slightly longer body and lighter.

Part II: image experience OPPO Find N3 Flip is the first small folding phone with super-light and shadow triple camera, adding 3200 megapixel 2x portrait camera, the other two are 5000 megapixel OIS wide-angle outsole, and 4800 megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with the highest specification in the industry.

Specifically, the OPPO Find N3 Flip wide angle is still Sony IMX890, the portrait lens is Sony IMX709, and the ultra wide angle is Sony IMX581. All three sensors are old friends of OPPO. The IMX890 has a 1.56 inch photosensitive area and a pixel size of 1 μ m. The OPPO gives the F1.8 aperture and supports OIS optical anti-shake.

Sony IMX709 often appears as the front camera of OPPO phones, such as Find X6 series and Reno10 series. It supports RGBW array, has a 1max 2.72inch photosensitive area and an aperture F2.4.

OPPO has been very mature in polishing this sensor, and it is easy to do it in terms of beauty and portrait algorithms. This time as an independent 2X portrait lens of the OPPO Find N3 Flip, it is a perfect fit.

In addition, the foreshadowing of the OPPO Find N3 Flip is also Sony IMX709.

In other aspects, OPPO Find N3 Flip images are also jointly developed by Hassel, as well as OPPO Find X6 Pro homologous superlight shadow system, including ultra-clear image quality engine, natural color engine, superlight shadow image engine.

The portrait shooting of the OPPO Find N3 Flip is almost from the OPPO Find X6 series, and it is even no exaggeration to say that this is the strongest portrait shooting ability of any small folding screen phone.

1. Post-image experience Let's take a look at the sample performance:

(note: all uploaded samples are compressed)

Portrait mode, no beauty

First of all, let's take a look at two samples of the portrait mode. The first one turns off Beauty, while the second turns on Beauty effect.

According to official sources, the OPPO Find N3 Flip portrait simulates the spot effect of XCD3,5/30 and XCD2,8/65 optical lenses. With the help of the algorithm, the progressive spot brightness distribution can be calculated.

From the sample sheet, OPPO Find N3 Flip's "Professional Hassel Portrait" has achieved a very real progressive virtual, natural depth of field, it is difficult to find some traces of algorithm and matting. The main body of the character, including the edge of the dress and the hair area, can be accurately separated from the background.

In addition, the portrait of OPPO Find N3 Flip has also passed the beauty level (0-100), and you are free to choose. After the beauty is turned on, the facial features of the characters are preserved, and the skin tone will be more natural and delicate.

A good telephoto will make you forget the existence of wide angle.

This is true for the OPPO Find X6 series, and so is the OPPO Find N3 Flip. On the OPPO Find N3 Flip, this 2X Sony IMX709 is not only used to shoot portraits, but also very suitable for street shooting, and the 47mm focus has a congenital composition advantage, so this 2X portrait is used in most of the samples of the OPPO Find N3 Flip.

The imaging performance of this 2X telephoto lens is also outstanding, and the color and light and shadow performance is basically the same as its wide angle. Moreover, under 5X digital zoom, the imaging quality of OPPO Find N3 Flip is not poor, at least exceeding the author's expectation.

5X

5X

5X back to the wide-angle part, is still the flagship level, after all, the specification of IMX890 is still relatively strong. There is also a significant upgrade in the ultra-wide-angle section, especially in terms of resolution. Of course, in a slightly dim light, the image quality of this ultra-wide-angle edge decreases slightly.

Wide-angle sample sheet

Ultra-wide-angle sample sheet to talk about the above-mentioned "Pro XDR" shows that, in fact, the photos seen above are the effect of turning off "Pro XDR". Because all the software does not support HDR format picture display, so it can only be their own moment.

Like the Find X6 series, thanks to the higher screen brightness, the above sample can present a more three-dimensional picture in the OPPO Find N3 Flip, achieving further dynamic improvement for the local part.

In the album, some high dynamic range images will appear at the bottom of the "Pro XDR" button, press and hold to experience the comparison before and after turning off Pro XDR.

Briefly summarize the images of the OPPO Find N3 Flip:

First of all, there is a huge improvement as a whole. Compared with the previous generation products, the image specification of the OPPO Find N3 Flip can be said to be "flying up"-all three focal segments are covered with high quality.

In the portrait part, in most scenes, the portrait performance of OPPO Find N3 Flip is basically the same as that of OPPO Find X6 series, at least this is the first feeling given to the author.

In the portrait shooting and telephoto section, among a large number of small folding screen phones, the OPPO Find N3 Flip is the king.

However, it is found that there are still some parts that need to be optimized in the experience, such as the calculation process is relatively long after the portrait is taken, and you have to wait about 2 seconds to open the sample before you can present the final sample. Secondly, there is a slight fever in the fuselage, which is mainly concentrated in the secondary screen area. This is nothing, but as soon as it gets hot, it will not be able to turn on the "dual screen display" function, which will slightly affect the experience.

2. The off-screen selfie talks about "dual-screen simultaneous display", which is also a highlight of OPPO Find N3 Flip. Let's put this part to the next interactive link to talk about it.

In fact, "dual screen and simultaneous display" is basically standard for folding screen phones, but the reason why the OPPO Find N3 Flip is worth talking about is also very simple-the strongest portrait shooting of the same level, with this lens, whether it is a selfie or he takes a picture, the probability of turning on the camera will be significantly increased.

Thanks to the advantage of "hovering", OPPO Find N3 Flip can put the phone flat on the surface of the water, and then turn on "dual screen display". With the help of "external screen preview" and the newly added "spaced gesture shutter" function, you can shoot a selfie by yourself without the help of others.

In addition, 2X portrait lens brings a very high film rate, portraits into natural and textured, their own shooting, but also easily on the portrait blockbuster.

Of course, you can also naturally pick up your phone and take a selfie, taking advantage of the 3.2-inch vertical screen and the flagship imaging power of the rear lens to take a satisfying picture.

Rear selfie sample:

The third part: interactive experience OPPO is not only the first manufacturer in the industry to make a small folding large outer screen, but also the only vertical outer screen in the industry.

The reason why OPPO insists on the vertical outer screen is that the vertical screen logic is the same as the mobile phone, which is more in line with the user's intuitive experience. Secondly, the application is easier to adapt, there will not be occlusion, horizontal display and other problems caused by different screen size, and the interaction is more natural.

The outer screen resolution is 720x382, 60Hz refresh rate, 900nit peak brightness, the parameters are regular, but the 250PPI is slightly insufficient, there will be some grainy feeling, as a secondary screen, long live the understanding.

Before Find N2 Flip, the traditional small folded small screen interaction core was mainly "watch notifications", but OPPO made the small screen really available.

On the Find N3 Flip, this screen goes one step further.

First of all, around this screen, OPPO has done a lot of convenient interactive features to deal with most out-of-the-box scenarios, which can be processed without expanding the phone, such as more than 10 native application cards, which can take pictures, check the weather, schedule management, dial, adjust headphones and so on at any time without expanding the phone.

Second, the Find N3 Flip has a built-in "outer screen adaptive engine", so some of the mainstream App can also run completely on this outer screen, note that it is fully run, and you can use these complete App like the inner screen.

Although there are not many adaptations of these so-called "experimental applications", they basically cover the commonly used mainstream App, including Wechat, Baidu Maps, Weibo, Douyin, Bilibili, Cruise and so on.

Use these App on the outer screen, and after expanding the screen, the large screen can also connect seamlessly.

In addition, the outer screen of Find N3 Flip is aimed at third-party App and is also adapted to "third-party application cards", such as pocket players covering QQ Music, NetEYun Music, KuGou Music and Himalayas, as well as deeply customized Little Red Books.

Therefore, in a large part of the scene, this outer screen can be easily done without expanding the screen, and this is the real available outer screen.

This outer screen, which is called "arbitrary window", also supports panoramic holographic screen display, which allows you to quickly view important information without clicking on the screen.

In terms of personalization, OPPO has built-in 8 kinds of cute wallpapers, each with interactive action. There are also 100 interactive wallpapers in the theme store.

Find N3 Flip also adds "real-time weather wallpaper" with 28 kinds of weather animations built in, which can be dynamically refreshed in real time as the weather changes.

Finally, let's talk about the "CCD card machine" mode added by Find N3 Flip for the outer screen.

Last year, CCD cameras suddenly became popular. Although this grandfather's electronic antique should have entered the museum a long time ago, it has become so popular in the female market that many unscrupulous manufacturers have changed their driving recorders into CCD to sell them.

This CCD is also one of the ways to play outside the screen. With Find N3 Flip, you really don't have to buy CCD. After all, no matter how much money you have, you have to spend it on the edge. The built-in CCD function of the Find N3 Flip provides a variety of "beauty styles" as well as different styles of film and classic camera models, regardless of play or functionality, production rate, all hang those so-called CCD.

Part IV: performance experience OPPO Find N3 Flip is upgraded to Tianji 9200 mobile platform, which further optimizes the power consumption ratio and achieves stronger battery life. There are also LPDDR5X+UFS 4.0memory configuration, X-axis linear motor, Dolby Atoms Dolby panoramic sound, fingerprint / face unlocking, NFC.

Go directly to an rabbit to run points:

Tianji 9200 we are very familiar with, in the MediaTek lineup, is second only to the existence of Tianji 9200 +, the performance is not the highest, but also the flagship level. From the point of view of storage run, OPPO Find N3 Flip is still the flagship specification.

In "Arena of Valor", "Game for Peace" and other games, full frame running is also pressure-free, as for the "original God", can also reach above 50fps.

Although the OPPO Find N3 Flip is not a high-performance mobile phone, the OPPO Find N3 Flip is still at the flagship level in terms of hardware specifications.

In the battery part, the OPPO Find N3 Flip has a built-in 4300mAh battery, which is upgraded to 1.073 days and supports a "44W super flash charge", which can be quickly recharged to 25% in 10 minutes.

In the signal section, the OPPO Find N3 Flip has also been enhanced, including support for dual-card dual-pass dual 5G, as well as "Global Smart Antenna switching system Design 2.0" to ensure stable signal performance even when the cover is closed, resulting in an excellent communication experience.

Conclusion: in fact, the performance of the previous generation of OPPO Find N2 Flip products has been quite excellent, which is why OPPO has won the first place among a number of small folding products. The new OPPO Find N3 Flip can be said to be based on the strong product power of Find N2 Flip, taking the experience of small folding screen one step further and summing up OPPO Find N3 Flip-- more simply. This is a small folding screen phone with excellent design, excellent interaction, online performance and invincible portrait.

In particular, the portrait shooting ability, left a very deep impression on the author, it is no exaggeration to say that this is the strongest portrait small fold. So how to choose is very clear, if you like small folding screen phone, but also like selfie, portrait shooting, then OPPO Find N3 Flip is the most suitable choice.

The previous generation of OPPO Find N2 Flip first promoted the design trend of small folding screens, but with the release of OPPO Find N3 Flip, it remains to be seen whether portrait shooting will become the focus of competitors' upgrades.
