OPPO at MWC 2023 (Mobile World Congress) has announced the highly anticipated OPPO Find N2 Flip in Astral Black and Moonlight Purple. It will be sold in Australia from 2 March for a very reasonable $1499.
CyberShack covered the OPPO Flip N2 on 19 February, but there was no availability date or price. The latter is a pleasant surprise – we expected $1600, and it is $1499 from Harvey Norman and JB Hi-Fi.
It is empowered by world-class hardware, a flagship camera system with a Sony IMX890 sensor, the powerful and super-efficient 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 9000+, ultra-fast dual-SIM 5G connectivity, and best-in-class charging speeds. The OPPO Find N2 Flip marks the start of a new chapter for OPPO’s foldable product portfolio and the flip phone segment as a whole.
The new Gen 2 Flexion Hinge is made of carbon fibre and high-strength aviation alloy built from 100 components – 36 fewer than Gen 1. It has been TUV tested to 400,000 flips. Together with optimisations in the display and the internal structure, it gives the internal display a practically invisible crease. Something Samsung and Moto have not achieved yet.
CyberShack’s view – The OPPO Find N2 Flip is a class leader
Flip phones are gaining popularity. But users generally report that the crease is both a useability issue and they are concerned about breakage. This is the second generation (the first was not sold in Australia). From what I can see, OPPO has positively addressed both issues. In fact, by stating 400,000 flips, it sets a benchmark for Australian Consumer Law warranty.
Now you have three choices – Samsung Z Flip4, Motorola Razr 2022 and OPPO Find N2 Flip.
