The OPPO Find N2 Flip smartphone is now a reality. Unfortunately, we don’t have a date for its launch in Australia – soon, we hope.
Which is an excellent segue to the dreaded Don’t buy a grey market phone (guide). It is already being flogged by Wonda Mobile, AliExpress, NextBuying, HighPCValue, BuyShipEasy and dozens more that have access to the Chinese version (not the Global version), which under Chinese law, Smartphones made for the China home market are full of it (Spyware).
No, that is not a slight on OPPO in any way. Every Chinese handset maker must comply with Chinese Law for its home market products. When it comes to Australia, it has AU Firmware and, importantly, AU 5G access.
The OPPO Find N2 Flip is receiving excellent international reviews.
- 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 gives the internal display a practically invisible crease (something Samsung and Moto have not achieved yet).
- Power from the new 4nm eight-core MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ Flagship class processor.

CyberShack’s view – The OPPO Find N2 Flip is a class leader
Now you have three choices – Samsung Z Flip4, Motorola Razr 2022 and OPPO Find N2 Flip.
There is a comparison of the first two Motorola Razr 2022 – A full-featured Fab Flip for percipient people, and the Razr comes out on top. Once we add the OPPO to the mix, it has more features yet again.
We look forward to receiving a review unit soon. we will let you know when the Australian version is available here.

Hi
Great articles. But one thing that never seems to be discussed with modern technology is the safety of 5G. There are numerous reports that highlight the dangers to humans of 5G tech. And with Smart cities setting up 5G towers at an alarming rate plus if as overseas they have 5G light poles we will be subjected not just to privacy concerns, but health concerns. Cancers have been linked to 5G with the frequencies that can be used. And I have seen footage from overseas of hundreds of dead birds lying around 5G towers. I think it wise to investigate the possible dangers. I refuse to upgrade to a 5G phone and am not in a hurry to have my home fitted with 5G meter. 5G is the elephant in the room that is being ignored.

Hi Mark
Everyone is entitled to have a different view on the health aspects of 5G. I totally respect yours, but you must respect mine. All scientific evidence is that 5G sub-6GHz/low band is safe – no worse radiation levels than 3 or 4G or Wi-Fi 5/6/7. 5G mMWave, on the other hand, uses the 26GHz band, which is a lot higher frequency and has a very short < 500-meter range. That is the one where every lamp post and street sign will need a booster if we are to ever use that band. The powerful FCC (US Federal Communications Commission) declared 5G mmWave clear of health hazards, and I have seen reams of evidence supporting that. As far as buying a 5G phone, you soon won't have a choice as costs plummet to meet 4G prices (like 4K TVs did). The good news is that you can easily disable 5G so don't let that stop you from buying the handset that is right for your needs. Frankly, 5G is one of the greatest marketing shams of all time pushed in Australia by Telcos that want to charge you more and sell more phones.
