Two years ago, without experiencing the high brush, I may not have such a deep attachment to it, let alone the idea of "not going back".
A year ago, folding screen products tended to mature, but after the experience, there was no improvement in this "multi-screen" device, high or low is not the positioning I gave him.
A month ago, with all kinds of doubts, 100GB of "small and beautiful" data was transferred to OPPO Find N and became the main machine.
I thought that OPPO Find N would be similar to the same type of product, and after tasting it, it would not become a commonly used device, or it would be more like the meaning of showing muscle than practical.
But only one night later, a feeling of déjà vu suddenly emerged, almost like the first taste of the high brush screen "dan use is difficult to return". "Can be the main machine" is my initial conclusion about OPPO Find N, and with intermittent use for a month, "never go back" is Find N's latest conclusion.
Exquisite "small screen"
Towards the end of the Find N conference, OPPO showcased three different color schemes, each of which was eye-catching enough.
Returning to the "starry night" color scheme that is being used, it is much more low-key and introverted, and can even be called a business style. In short, its exterior design is enough for users to hide in the crowd, there is a feeling of hidden in the city, and there is also a bit of the meaning of sweeping monks in the library.
Before the Find N was announced, I had taken it in and out of the crowd, but it did not cause "sideways glances", giving outsiders the feeling that it was nothing more than a small-screen mobile phone.
The 5.49-inch size screen is quite "precious" in this era, the big screen is dominant, many people are missing the feel of the small screen mobile phone, on the one hand, to turn over to be the owner of the device, on the other hand, the little finger resistance.
When you're crowded and strode forward, Find N is enough to revisit the overall situation and do a free little finger movement.
Forgive me for my bluntness, I like the size of the Find N together, so much so that I resisted unfolding when I first used it.
With the deepening of the experience, this outer screen actually serves as part of the "notification" function, a simple glance, a few clicks, you can handle a lot of notifications and reminders, and even in the crowd of people, you can return a WeChat and like something with one hand.
"Not cramped and awkward" is a very subjective feeling, difficult to reflect with parameters, just like the concept of small screen, it is about a feeling. Oppo Find N folded up, in addition to the 5.49-inch screen, borders, corners, reels, but everywhere the hand can touch the smooth transition, the size and feel of the solidified body.
According to the standard of the straight board machine, the weight of the Find N 275g and the thickness of 15.9mm still have a great sense of existence, but the coordinate system is placed in the folding screen universe, it is light and thin, and the center of gravity is more concentrated, whether it is open or closed, it will not be top-heavy. However, one-handed unfolding in the crowd will still be a little cramped, after all, the probability of screen large being spied on will be much higher.
Oppo Find N is compact enough that it doesn't look like a "remote control" or an iPhone 12 mini when closed. Whether you're getting started for the first time or looking at it a month later, the small body will still have a pretty deep impression, and you'll be fascinated by it, as if the folding screen has nothing to do with the bulky size.
Perhaps in the era of large screens, Find N is the best way to present small-screen Android phones.
Portable "big screen"
Small and large are actually two completely opposite directions. In terms of volume, we pursue small, and on the screen display, we want to be big, and this contradiction has always run through consumer electronics.
The "folding screen" has become a new and hot track in recent years, and it is precisely from a certain angle that this "contradiction" has been given a solution.
The 7.1-inch size of the Find N inner screen is not small, and the expansion resembles an iPad mini. But what is different is that find N open is "horizontal", without rotating the phone when watching videos, playing games and other entertainment operations, optimizing this step, the action of "opening the screen" is very worry-free and natural.
At the same time, the area of the large screen and the small screen is close to 2 times the relationship, so that after the execution of the split screen, it seems to become two mobile phones sitting in a row, and each app has enough space to calmly complete the operation.
However, this ratio also has a shortcoming, that is, the utilization of the screen is not so high when watching the film, or it may not be able to eat more views in the game.
This is similar to some portable laptops that have begun to shift to 16:10 and 3:2 ratios, and folding screens are also developing towards improving the comprehensive utilization of screens. I probably counted that the proportion of Find N watching videos is about 15%, and the rest are mostly browsing information streaming apps, so the proportion of this inner screen is actually more practical.
Relatively speaking, the specifications of the Find N inner screen have to be upgraded to another level, E5 material, 120Hz LTPO dynamic refresh and 1792x1920 resolution, making it still a flagship in the bar machine. When watching some documentaries, or some HDR sources, the big screen is enough to present enough exciting content.
Not only is the screen ratio, but the "crease" is another point that sets Find N apart. Find N uses the more expensive Seiko imitation vertebral hinge and pours a lot of resources into the quality of the inner screen, and the two cooperate with the industry's shallowest crease that eventually falls on the product.
Until now, I still clearly remember when I first got the Find N, when I was looking at the "crease" by my colleagues around me, and only the screen and from a special angle could faintly see the crease.
In daily use, such creases are easy to ignore, often attracted by the content on the screen, rather than the distorting force field brought by the "creases" that make you play in minutes.
In the screen state, after a month of use, the crease of the Find N is still very shallow.
After a period of use, the find N's creases still won't make you play, and they haven't become "deep" in the slightest, as if time has passed but have not left wrinkles.
"What is a mobile phone?" In the past, being able to answer calls was a mobile phone, but in the era of intelligence, the boundaries of mobile phones are no longer clear, and its form is no longer limited to products with fixed size fixed functions.
The folding screen in one is a large-screen device that makes it easier for you to carry around, and it also has the potential to become a new "mobile phone" in your pocket and palm. But the bulky size, deep and split large screen is two hardware barriers, blocking the public purchase and long-term use of folding screens.
Find N's flexible size, as well as the investment in hinge and folding, let me in this month's experience, I did not have any desire to get rid of folding, but more and more enjoy the compactness of the small screen, and the immersion of the large screen.
Freshness is pulled full of ecology
As the saying goes, the master leads the door to practice in the individual, but this does not apply to consumer products.
Controlling the size and crease of the folding screen is actually just to "lead you into the door", and improving efficiency and making full use of two screens of different sizes is still a scratching problem.
In some large-screen Android devices common split-screen, large-screen, small window applications, Find N provides the functions, there should be some, but for how to reduce the learning threshold of this matter, ColorOS took a step forward.
Slide down with two fingers to "split" the screen and turn it into a double screen.
For multi-window, multi-task scenes, there are corresponding gestures, and very "intuitive", two fingers down is a split screen, as if cutting melons, five fingers together is to become a small window, dragging "small white bars" is to move the window. These gestures and swipes are consistent with the operating logic of the entire system and will not be forgotten after use.
The operation under the large screen has the feeling of "flowing clouds and flowing water", and the favorite "double screen" combination can also be saved, and it can be double opened with one click.
For example, I commonly use WeChat / Weibo, WeChat / map double open combination, and even occasionally use WeChat / B station, while watching videos while chatting, will not block the picture.
In addition, the ColorOS settings menu is separately divided into a "large screen area", the level function is very clear, the function, settings at a glance.
Strictly speaking, these functions are not exclusive to Find N, many large-screen devices have close functions, but every time you get started, you need to spend extra effort to remember the operation mode, or when you need to set it separately, look it up in the settings menu.
The re-grooming and intuitive design of the Find N system adds a touch of warmth to the boring operation, like drinking a mocha on a cold morning, and the coffee refreshing chocolate brings pleasure.
Comes with the Music app.
The split-screen efficiency and large-screen presentation of these functions are more like the innovation brought by standing on the shoulders of giants, and the "hover" function based on the Find N precision hinge is even more the brain hole emitted by ColorOS.
It is actually quite simple to say, fold find N to a certain angle, some applications will automatically adapt to half of the state, erect for the display, lying on the table is touch, video, shooting, meeting, fitness and other scenes can be adapted.
Movie viewing status.
From the root cause, the hover function is actually very similar to the idea of "merging two into one" of the folding screen, the folding screen is to close the large screen and the small screen, and the "hover" is to combine some accessories and equipment.
When shooting, the secondary screen can also provide a preview, and the practicality is full.
In this way, with a Find N, there is no need for a mobile phone stand, and the additional fixture of the tripod can complete the family dinner photo, as well as the corresponding time-lapse photography, which can record the ins and outs at different time flow rates.
And this is also the most frequently used function of many hover functions of the Find N, without him, only because of the freshness of the full.
In a month's time, according to past experience, the freshness of a product can be gradually reduced from 90 points to 60 points, and finally become an ordinary product in hand.
For the find N of the folding screen, I can still maintain a certain curiosity to discover how the large screen and small screen are more efficient to use, which two software combinations will have miraculous effects, and whether the hover function will bring different creative perspectives. For the same rigid machine, Find N has many more possibilities.
In less than two years, "high brush screen" has become the standard, it brings a silky experience, but also becomes the new electric tiger of mobile phones, and new technologies are often double-edged swords.
Folding screen is the same, there is a larger screen, presenting more information, more forms, is its absolute advantage, and complex mechanical structure, large weight and higher cost and development cycle, is the "opposite".
But they are different.
The "strong demand" for high brush screens has a clear perception, plus the screen has always been one of the mainstream tracks of product competition.
The different experience and value of the folding screen is not "obvious" enough, and even if the mass consumers have simply experienced it, there may not be a strong difference, but the larger weight and volume will bring backfit effects.
OPPO Find N found a folding screen dessert in size, the size, feel of the precision, to an Android small screen flagship positioning, leaving a deep enough impression. It is like a fuse, rekindling curiosity about "folding screen" products. Oh yes, the starting price of 7699 yuan is undoubtedly directly poured a bowl of oil on the "fuse".
With the use, with the fading of curiosity, the reel that does not drag mud and water, the reassuring sound when closed, coupled with the advantages of the natural large screen, gradually make you unable to get rid of this unique experience. This is also a change in my mentality during the month of using OPPO Find N.
During the occasional use of the tablet time, the contradiction between demand and use inadvertently appears, in some small scenes such as walking, it is more necessary to have a small screen to grasp with one hand, and the fixed scene after sitting down needs a larger screen to provide a better audiovisual experience, and this contradiction can only be solved by the "folding screen" for the time being.
Although it cannot be said that Find N is the final "correct answer", it is closer to that optimal solution in terms of the time spent in this month.

It is the greatest motivation for us
