OPPO Launches Find N2, The Lightest Horizontally Folding Phone

It's like a mini tablet!

OPPO has just announced the launch of its second-generation foldable smartphone, the OPPO Find N2. 

The cutting-edge Find N series sees another addition that pushes the boundaries of smartphone innovation in weight, aspect ratio, hinge technology and crease visibility.

Although last year’s Find N was already widely believed to have had the least visible crease on launch, this has been improved further with the Find N2 seeing a  67% narrower crease along the main screen.

This ensures that users can enjoy an uninterrupted visual experience doing what they love on a larger screen, which is made possible thanks to the improved hinge design.

OPPO's engineers miniaturised the Flexion Hinge for Find N2, while strengthening it to create a smaller, thinner, yet more robust mechanism. They have also pioneered foldable engineering techniques to reduce the number of parts required to just 100 – 38 less than its predecessor.

And, despite including premium materials such as carbon fibre and high-strength alloy, the Find N2 weighs 42g lesser than the original Find N without compromising on quality.

OPPO Find N2 Specifications

  • Processor: Qualcomm SM8475 Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1

Golden Ratio - A Display of Great Proportions

A premium experience is delivered with this model, whether it’s both open and closed, or even using one or two hands. 

When closed, the external display has an array of features: 

  • An aspect ratio of 17.7:9, allowing for a comfortable typing experience 
  • A 120Hz 5.54-inch AMOLED display with up to 480Hz touch sampling rate
  • Up to 1,550 nits of brightness when outdoors, with a resolution of 2120 x 1080

When opened, however, is when the Find N2 shines brighter, with:

  • a 7.1-inch expansive and smooth screen that takes on a 9:8.4 aspect ratio
  • Featuring an AMOLED panel with low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) technology, meaning the device is capable of 1Hz to 120H2 dynamic refresh rate up to 480 Hz touch sampling rate
  • The same 1,550 nits of brightness as the external screen, with up to 10,240 levels of automatic brightness, making it adapt to any environment 

On top of that, OPPO has also introduced a new anti-reflection film that significantly improves the device's visibility, allowing for content viewing, gaming and multitasking anywhere, and at any time of the day.

Designed with Excellence in Mind

Design isn’t compromised either, with finishes made with premium materials all around, as its flat, metal sides taper seamlessly to meet the glass or vegan leather back. 

On the rear, the phone’s curved surface raises to meet the triple camera system, rounding off at the edges and melding into the frame for a satisfyingly interruption-free overall premium design. 

The Find N2 comes in three colour options: a demure Green, a classic Black with vegan leather, and a bright, matte White.

Experience Next-Level Photography Through New Angles

Let’s not leave out the photography aspects of this new model. The triple camera brings users a different experience to phone photography, with each camera having distinct qualities.

  • The main camera – a 50MP main shooter built with the OIS-equipped 1/1.56-inch Sony IMX890 sensor and a 24mm f/1.8 aperture. With all-pixel omnidirectional intelligent focusing, every pixel on Find N2's primary sensor is a focus point, so nearby subjects look sharp while backgrounds appear soft. 
  • The ultra-wide camera – a 48MP ultra-wide 1/2-inch Sony IMX581, f/2.2, 14mm lens allows the Find N2 to focus on close or far-away subjects. Its high resolution makes it perfect for expansive landscape photos and videos and can capture close-up, macro photography. 
  • The telephoto camera – a 1/2.74-inch Sony IMX709, f/2.0, 47mm 32MP telephoto lens, is an OPPO-developed solution implemented by Sony hardware.

Furthermore, using the MariSilicon X, the same super-efficient AI computing power that debuted on the Find X5 Pro, it lends its superior 4K Ultra Night Video capabilities to enable powerful image processing akin to computational photography thanks to AI Noise Reduction (AIN).

4K Ultra HDR Video also features on the Find N2, as OPPO's signature Imaging NPU also allows 4K HDR video to be captured in an incredible dynamic range, ensuring shadow information is preserved with maximum integrity. 

All these elements come together to create a photography experience on this smartphone like no other, which is once again developed in partnership with Hasselblad.

Of course, with new angles come new possibilities, and FlexForm Capture on the Find N2 does just that.

It introduces new modes starting with Waist-Level Framing that recreates the unique shooting experience of classic Hasselblad cameras. With Find N2, users can shoot at a lower position while still seeing what is on-screen, for a steadier hold and a more dynamic angle.

Meanwhile, FlexForm mode unlocks multi-angle shooting while the phone sits stable and stationary on a surface. Placed on the ground, users can achieve a low angle for upward shooting, and on a high surface, capture a steady, all-encompassing top-down view, or a 4K, tripod-free time-lapse. 

Lastly, External Display Selfie mode helps users get more out of the rear camera mix. Users just need to activate the camera and turn on the external display preview, and they can start taking wide and ultra-wide selfies with natural depth and stunning quality.

Powered by Qualcomm's Premium Mobile Platform

Premium build, camera and design meet only the best from Qualcomm, as the 4mm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform powers the OPPO Find N2.

Qualcomm's 4th Gen Snapdragon X65 5G Modem-RF System ensures 5G connectivity is both fast, and light on battery consumption, and with its 7th Gen Qualcomm AI Engine, the chip is efficient across the board. 

The Find N2's hardware, combined with ColorOS 13 and the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 turns the phone into a powerhouse, perfect for demanding apps and large-screen multi-tasking.

A Battery Built for a Foldable

Thanks to the miniaturisation of the second-generation Flexion Hinge structure, although the Find N2 is smaller and lighter than its predecessor, it features a high capacity, 4520mAh battery. One that is expected to last longer than the original Find N, despite the improved hardware on this new model.

Charging is also a breeze as it uses OPPO's 67W SUPERVOOC flash charge technology. Shipping with the SUPERVOOC charger, the phone can power up to 37% in 10 minutes and takes just 42 minutes to charge from 0% to 100%, making it one of the fastest-charging folding phones currently available.

ColorOS 13 Optimised for Find N2

Running the show is the reliable, trustworthy ColorOS 13 that combines the best of Android 13 and ColorOS with OPPO's foldable mastery. 

The major highlight is an enhanced split-screen experience where two-fingers swiping down the middle of its 7.1-inch screen quickly activates a split-screen view that takes full advantage of the large, folding display.

Users can easily take a screenshot of one or both apps when in split-screen view. A simple three-finger swipe down on the left or right side will screenshot that app, and a swipe down the middle will capture the full split-screen view.
