Why did OPPO Find N choose the sideways pattern?
At present, the folding screen products on the market are mostly in two forms, one is the vertical fold of the upper and lower folds, and the other is the horizontal fold of the left and right folds. In fact, in the media experience area, OPPO has also made products in the form of vertical folding, so some media asked, why did OPPO finally choose the way of horizontal folding? In response to this, Liu Zuohu responded that the design of the product should serve the function, and after we tried to fold it up and down, we felt that it might just be that girls would feel fashionable in their hands, and the actual use value was far from enough. Moreover, we believe that the battery should be at least 4500mAh, and there is no and at least 4200mAh, and as a result, we can't do it, including other friends.
Then, Liu Zuohu said that now choose such a size, what we consider is that since the inner screen is large enough. The outer screen should be as small as possible when it is available, so it has the current form of Find N.

Why are larger products on the market lighter than the OPPO Find N?
At the meeting, some media mentioned that a friendly product is larger in size, but the weight is lighter, with Tiger Brother's insistence on the feel, why find N is set on this weight? Liu Zuohu responded that in fact, too light weight is not a good thing, this is a very subtle feeling, such as Find N if set at 200 grams, there will be a feeling of light fluttering very cheap. Initially we set a target of 260 grams, but in the end it was controlled to 275 grams, which feels just right at such a thickness and size.
Why doesn't OPPO Find N use an off-screen camera?
In the under-screen camera is hot this year, OPPO has also demonstrated the technology of the under-screen camera, as OPPO's exploration series, OPPO Find N has a digging camera inside and outside, why not give up one to do the under-screen camera? In this regard, Liu Zuohu frankly said: Not satisfied! I think that now the camera under the screen has not yet reached the time when I am satisfied, the amount of light entering is only a dozen or twenty, and it is impossible to make up for it by software. And I don't see anything breakthrough in the next six months, it may be another year and it may be a long time, and now I am not satisfied with the off-screen camera.

What is OPPO's stocking and capacity? In addition to sales, will there be a shortage of parts?
When the price of OPPO Find N was announced, it did cause quite a stir, and some media asked, what is the situation of OPPO in stockpiling and production capacity? In addition to sales, will there be a shortage of parts? In this regard, Liu Zuohu said bluntly, this is indeed the situation that I am most worried about. But as a product manager, making a good product is definitely hoping that more people will use it, rather than selling to one or two thousand, and only forty or fifty thousand sales. So we still hope to be able to fold the mobile phone from early adopter to common use.
In terms of stocking, Liu Zuohu admitted that although the price is very conscientious for the folding screen, there are still certain challenges for ordinary consumers, so if there are too many stocks, the risk will be great. In addition, for the supply chain, many new materials, yield rate is also very low, so now can not directly answer this question.
If the screen is broken, how much does the OPPO Find N cost to repair?
For the cost of maintenance, the media also mentioned at the meeting: since the cost is so high, if the screen is broken, how much do we repair? Liu Zuohu replied to this, so I introduced OPPO Care+ at the press conference, the price of temporarily changing the screen I don't know, but it should not be cheap, but in order to change from early adopter to common use, we will definitely set a "conscience price", after all, we are science and technology for people, to be good to the world, smile forward.
