Yesterday afternoon, the OPPO Find N folding flagship was officially released, which is also the first time that Liu Zuohu has stood on the stage as OPPO's chief product officer after his return to OPPO. OPPO Find N is the first folding screen mobile phone released by OPPO, but in fact, in the 4 years from 2018 to 2021, OPPO has iterated 6 generations of folding screen solutions, including external folding, internal folding, up and down folding and other forms, although the folding screen products came a little later, but OPPO has never stopped exploring and investing in the folding screen.
On December 15, the second day of OPPO Future Technology Conference, OPPO Find N officially met with consumers with OPPO's most advanced screen hinge technology and more mature seamless hidden trace solution.
Compared with other folding screen products on the market, the advantages of OPPO Find N are very obvious: the external screen size is 5.49 inches, the aspect ratio is 18:9, and there is a 3D small micro-curved design on the edge of the outer screen, which is a standard "small screen" straight board machine in the hand; after unfolding, it is a 7.1-inch 8.4:9 ratio inner screen, and the user does not need to rotate 90 degrees to get a focused large-screen experience. The new inner and outer screen size allows OPPO Find N to take into account the convenience of one-handed control and the immersion of the large screen, at the same time, with the help of self-developed Seiko imitation vertebral hinge, OPPO Find N also realizes the folding effect of seamless concealment and the new interactive experience of free hovering.

The first is about the OPPO Find N folding screen form problem, in the OPPO iteration of the 6th generation of folding screen program, including similar to the Samsung Z Flip up and down folding scheme, and OPPO Find N finally chose the "horizontal fold", in Liu Zuohu's view, the actual value of the former is not enough, not OPPO's pursuit of the direction of the screen is getting bigger and bigger.
Liu Zuohu said that (users) buy folding screen is hoping to have a large screen experience, since the inner screen has a large screen, why should the outer screen be large? With a large screen, the outer screen should feel good and more portable, which is what it should look like. Thinking of this logic will be very simple, and naturally push Find N to such a form. In the interview, Liu Zuohu called OPPO Find N "the third form" or "the most correct form."
In addition, the folding screen to ensure that the basic availability, battery capacity is also a major factor, Liu Zuohu said, (folding screen) at least to 4500mAh, if you can't do it, 4200mAh can always, the battery below 4000mAh is not OPPO to do the product choice.

Some media asked whether the price of OPPO Find N is so aggressive, in addition to sales, there will be no shortage of parts. Liu Zuohu said that this is also what he is worried about now, and there may be a shortage of supply (but the words cannot be full).

Why do we explicitly write this time from trying new to commonly used, because we want to bring users a different folding screen experience. In the interview, Liu Zuohu told the media that he hopes to promote the entire industry through OPPO Find N and truly enter a new era of smart phones.
