2021 is still full of changes. This year, mobile phones are no longer eye-catching, smart cars ushered in a new era, and the metacosm seems to be far away. But what has not changed is that Geek's Choice is still with everyone, continuing to pay attention to the technology industry and constantly experiencing new and interesting products. "Product of the Year" is the year-end reserved column of Geek's Choice, starting from November 25, we will unveil the annual products one by one, involving a total of 3 categories of nearly 20 sub-categories, from "entertainment first" to "long live productivity", we hope to stand in different dimensions and perspectives, and talk to you about the most promising technology products in 2021.
The emergence of folding screen mobile phones solves the contradiction between the sense of grip and the experience of large screens on straight-panel mobile phones. However, from the landing to maturity, new things ultimately need a process. In fact, in the past few years, manufacturers have been constantly optimizing the crease problem that folding screen mobile phones are prone to, and have also done a lot of exploration for the large-screen ecology, but there is still a slight gap from people's ideal appearance.
The most special thing about OPPO Find N is that through a relatively more reasonable software and hardware design, the user's focus is returned to the user experience from the hardware itself. It comes with a 18:9 5.49-inch external screen that makes it easy to hold and maneuver with one hand when the phone is closed. And because the screen ratio is consistent with many regular phones, the visual perception is very comfortable.
The inner screen setting is different from other folding screen phones. First of all, OPPO used an inner screen with a ratio of 8.4:9 for this phone, which also means that it is naturally more suitable for horizontal screen use, without adjusting the grip posture, you can get a large-screen experience similar to a tablet; in addition, the screen quality is also at the top level in the folding screen mobile phones currently listed.
OPPO Find N uses a 7.1 inch 120Hz LTPO screen, supports 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate adjustment, Samsung E5 material, 370ppi, the maximum brightness can reach 1000nit, and has 8192 levels of automatic brightness adjustment. Whether it is the delicacy of the content display or the fluency of use, it is in line with the conventional flagship, and there is not much compromise in terms of usability for folding.
More importantly, with the help of the extremely complex structure of the "Seiko imitation vertebral hinge", and together with Samsung to carry out screen research and development, OPPO Find N has the lightest screen crease of all folding screen mobile phones. The design principle of this hinge is somewhat similar to that of origami, which divides the paper in two and folds it completely in half, and there is no space in the middle position where creases will naturally appear.
If you only pinch the two ends of the paper, leaving a space structure similar to a water droplet in the middle, you can avoid the crease problem very well. Of course, the actual mobile phone hinge design process will be limited by the internal space, the processing difficulty will be much greater, which is why OPPO after 4 years and 6 generations of continuous polishing to finally land on the mass production model is the main reason.
The results are good, thanks to the Seiko pseudo-vertebral hinge, OPPO Find N not only controls the crease problem commonly used in folding screen mobile phones to the industry-leading level, but also supports a variety of use modes such as standards, tablets, and standing, so that it has a very powerful multi-scene adaptability, even without the help of external support, it can easily complete the use of long-distance selfies or pursuits.
In addition to making folding screen mobile phones more easy to use, OPPO also emphasizes the durability of the product itself. OPPO Find N screen folding life of more than 200,000 times, is currently the only folding screen mobile phone that has passed the German Rheinland folding worry-free certification, and the 1 meter drop test has reached the durability standard of the bar, which can largely eliminate everyone's worries about the easy damage of folding screen mobile phones.
Although it is OPPO's first folding screen mass production model, the Find N is full of old-fashioned. With a new screen size design concept and a complex hinge design, OPPO combines the advantages of small screen devices and large screen devices, and also makes it more durable. "From early adopters to common use" is the core competitiveness of OPPO Find N, and it is also a sign of the maturity of folding screen mobile phones.
