Speaking of folding screens, many people may think that it will be Samsung, Huawei, OPPO, the first two deeply ploughed the field of folding screens for many years, but it seems that they have not really opened the market, let alone popularized by the whole people. Although the folding screen is no longer a new word, but for the general public is still out of reach, the folding screen is still like a high-end luxury, but until the emergence of OPPO Find N, the pattern is really open, really let the folding screen from the early to the common use.

In the past year, there have also been many excellent folding screen flagships, and we have mainly selected three more representative products. According to the order of release, there are Huawei Mate X2, Samsung Z Fold 3, OPPO Find N, each of which is unique and can be said to be the benchmark of this year's flagship. Overall, which experience will be the best, the most representative of the future direction, the new product benchmark?
This experience is mainly cut from multiple angles, in terms of appearance and light and portable, Samsung Z Fold 3 is slender, like a remote control. OPPO Find N and Mate X2 are more like mobile phones. To put it bluntly, it is a wider usable area. Regardless of the one-handed operation experience, the Find N is slightly better here.

In terms of color performance and color accuracy, the color coverage OPPO Find N ranked first, which can do 99.2% sRGB, 98.9% P3, followed by Z Fold 3 98.2% sRGB, 97.8% P3, Mate X can do 97.2% sRGB, 97.3% P3 color gamut coverage. In terms of color accuracy, Samsung is first, Find N is second, and Mate X2 is second.
In fact, the size of the folding screen is not the most worrying problem for the public, the main consideration point should be the screen crease, as well as the long-term use of the folding screen, multiple opening and closing life, hinge and screen will not be damaged these two key issues. The previous folding screen did not suddenly catch fire, not that the product was not amazing enough, the main reason was that in addition to the price, the problem of obvious creases was not completely solved, which was slightly difficult for people with quality requirements.
This time, compared with the situation of the three creases, when the screen is lit, the Samsung Z Fold 3 crease is more obvious, and the Mate X2 presents a wave of folding situation, the best crease treatment here is undoubtedly Find N, there is almost no obvious crease. Of course, this does not mean that there are no creases, just bright screens, and when touched, it feels like it is paved, and it does not feel obvious creases, and the same is true for visual performance.
This is also the smallest of the three, so the crease will not be obvious. The other is also the key to the folding screen, which is also thanks to the hinged design. Samsung uses a U-shaped hinge, the disadvantage is obvious that the middle gap is larger, and the crease is also obvious, Huawei Mate X and Find N use a more difficult teardrop hinge design, in the same space, so that the bendable radius is doubled, so the folding screen is more fit.

Judging from the test results, the Find N hinge design performance is the most amazing, not only to achieve a breakthrough of almost zero creases, but also the degree of screen fit is also the most folding screen at present, in addition to supporting multi-angle free hover, etc., many innovations and breakthroughs. It is reported that OPPO opened the research and development exploration of the water drop hinge as early as 2015, and applied the patent layout of the water drop hinge in 2018; after countless internal trial and error and innovation, it finally presented the folding screen mobile phone OPPO Find N with the shallowest crease on the market.
In general, from the multiple dimensions of the three folding screen mobile phones, screen quality, body design, grip, folding screen life, price and so on. Samsung's U-shaped hinge needs to be improved, it does not fit together, and the body is slender, but the usable area is not large. Huawei crease is still not completely solved, and OPPO Find N has the best comprehensive quality, especially seiko stack hinge design, which solves the crease and gap problems, and also enhances the life of the whole machine, and the program is more perfect. Find N has the highest cost, the most complex process, but the most realistic price, which is a plus. It is not difficult to imagine that more manufacturers will try to fold the screen in the future, and Find N is destined to become the industry benchmark.
