Many friends know that folding screen mobile phones are the darling of the moment, and many consumers are willing to try early. According to third-party data research statistics, in the first half of this year, OPPO N2 Flip was the leading folding screen mobile phone in domestic sales in the first half of this year, and the OPPO Find N2 that came out at the same time ranked sixth. With the excellent performance of these two folding screens, OPPO has become the head brand of domestic folding screen mobile phones together with Huawei, which has previously led the way.
Leading is both strength and pressure, especially the folding screen market is one of the few potential cakes of smartphones at present, OPPO naturally hopes to maintain the advantage. So on August 29 in Shanghai, the OPPO Find N3 Flip took the lead, and this time it appeared alone without waiting for the Find N3 team. It is reported that the OPPO Big Folding Find N3 is expected to be launched in October, with a major design change, no longer the previous "chunky" route, to match the mainstream demand of thin and light screens.
In addition to the regular performance configuration upgrades, the key improvement of the new OPPO Find N3 Flip is the addition of a 32-megapixel portrait telephoto lens, which provides 2x optical zoom and overall support for 20x digital zoom. The 50 million pixel main camera and 48 million pixel ultra-wide angle, coupled with the assistance of the self-developed Mariana X chip, ensure a high level of presentation for daily shooting. Overall, the Hasselbladian three-camera configuration of the OPPO Find N3 Flip has the same image strength as the OPPO Find N2, and looking at the small folding screen products that have been launched, the image power of the OPPO Find N3 Flip has indeed led again.
According to OPPO Chief Product Officer Liu Zuohu said at the press conference, OPPO is the leader of small folding large external screen, the new OPPO N3 Flip is the only small folding that may serve as the main machine, and he has repeatedly emphasized that "small folding, only OPPO". The reason for this confidence also stems from the evolution of this new product in terms of experience and battery life. In terms of key external screen interactions, OPPO N3 Flip insists on using a characteristic vertical external screen, and upgrades to Corning's seventh-generation Gorilla Glass covering, which improves durability and scratch resistance.
For the design of the horizontal large external screen or the opposite sex screen of the small folding of friendly businessmen, Liu Zuohu proposed the pain points of use such as "crooked use", "incomplete viewing", "incomplete pressing", bluntly saying that his own OPPO N3 Flip is a solution that is more in line with the habits of mainstream mobile phones, "vertical large outer screen, small folding is the most correct choice". The vertical external screen has a consistent experience after the inner screen of the mobile phone is opened, and the amount of information that can actually be presented is more in common scenarios such as brushing information, watching videos, and social chatting on the external screen.
According to Kekejun's hands-on experience in the experience area, the OPPO N3 Flip's 3.26-inch external screen can run a variety of mainstream apps, and there is also a palace format application arrangement similar to a regular straight mobile phone, allowing users to efficiently play multiple scenarios such as social, travel, and life services directly through "any window". In addition, OPPO N3 Flip's external screen wallpaper also further enhances playability, not only continues to have cute pet dynamic interactive wallpaper, but also adds a "one-shot" personalized wallpaper function, and you can synthesize the GIF external screen wallpaper after one-click shooting.
OPPO N3 Flip continues to choose the MediaTek Dimensity chip platform, this time using a 4nm Dimensity 9200 flagship chip, with a 4300mAh larger capacity battery, the daily comprehensive battery life can exceed 1 day, known as the best small fold for battery life. In other aspects, the machine is equipped with 44W flash charging, the inner screen is 6.8 inches 2520*1080 pixels, the memory and flash memory are upgraded to LPDDR5x and UFS 4.0 respectively, and still use side fingerprint recognition.
At present, the audience of small folding mobile phones is mostly trendy women, so OPPO N3 Flip is also targeted to improve its appearance and integrate more personalized elements. In terms of color matching, the previous purple color was replaced with "mist rose", and the effect was similar to rose gold. Both gold and black have material changes based on the previous generation, gold is more elegant, and black adds a mirror effect (with a certain anti-fingerprint effect).
After getting started, it was found that the overall texture and refinement of the OPPO N3 Flip has improved a lot, although it is a little heavier than the previous generation, but the overall control is still within 200g, and it is less than 8mm after folding and unfolding, and it is easier to use with one hand for a long time and open and close with one hand.
In addition, this OPPO N3 Flip has more shell accessories to choose from, not only retaining the previous portable and practical handband type of protective case, but also adding a variety of cute and designer protective cases, the style is changeable, flexible matching, more trendy, these are very flattering pluses among female users.
OPPO Find N3 Flip provides three color schemes and two configurations, 12GB+256GB and 12GB+512GB, respectively, 6799 yuan and 7599 yuan, which is a certain increase compared with the aggressive pricing of the previous generation model. Among them, 256GB increased by 400 yuan, 512GB increased by 600 yuan, and this time 512GB is equipped with 12GB memory, the previous generation was 16GB.
For the price increase of OPPO Find N3 Flip, the initial increase in material costs does not seem to be large, and it is more likely that after the initial victory of OPPO small folding, it is hoped that the volume of new products can also contribute more considerable profits. Intriguingly, the OPPO Watch4 Pro watch launched simultaneously gives people the feeling that the product is quite good, and the price is slightly expensive. Will the OPPO Find N3, which will be launched soon, also increase in price? See.
In terms of product comprehensive experience, OPPO Find N3 Flip has indeed achieved a continuous lead in small folding in many aspects, and a small price increase can actually match its market position. However, it is expected that the next friends will continue to exert pressure, and the greater test is still to come.
