On December 15, OPPO released the first folding screen mobile phone OPPO Find N, and the starting price was only 7699 yuan.
The first commercial folding screen mobile phone in China was first released in 2017, and in the past four years, the screen crease is serious, the fuselage reliability is poor, and the opening and closing are not free, which have become several major problems criticized by users. Liu Zuohu, chief product officer of OPPO, said that OPPO's folding model took four years of research and development time and underwent 6 generations of iterations, and the team spent the longest time is the optimization of the screen hinge.

OPPO Find N uses the scheme of internal folding, according to Liu Zuohu, in order to reduce the crease feeling, OPPO Find N adopts the self-developed "Seiko quasi-vertebral hinge technology", the short hinge contains 136 components, and the processing accuracy reaches 0.01mm. The characteristic of this structure is that when the mobile phone screen is bent, a natural water droplet shape can be formed, thereby reducing the visual crease.
OPPO data shows that after being certified by the Rheinland Laboratory in Germany, oppo Find N reduces visual creases by up to 80% compared with the traditional folding screen hinge scheme, and is currently the folding screen mobile phone with the lightest crease.
OPPO Find N's inner screen is a flexible glass panel combined with a 12-layer structure, jointly developed with Samsung, it is worth noting that in the closed state, the border of the mobile phone can be seamlessly closed, reducing the entry of dust or other foreign objects, resulting in loss of the screen.

In addition, another feature of this folding screen phone is that it can hover freely within 50 ° to 120 °.
Folding screen mobile phones not only need to solve the problem of creases and durability at the hardware level, but also the adaptation of software is also quite critical. According to reports, OPPO Find N has designed a multi-form interaction mode for large screens, split screens, hovers and so on.
Specifically, OPPO Find N adapts to the large screen for commonly used applications such as WeChat, Douyin, and Youku; in terms of multitasking, OPPO Find N has a variety of multi-window management modes such as two-finger split screen and four-finger floating screen; in hover mode, it can also support movie viewing/music/conference/fitness/video call/video and other functions.
