OPPO Find N2 Flip – its flipping good (smartphone review/update)

The OPPO Find N2 Flip has achieved what other Flip-phones have not – a negligible, barely noticeable crease in the main screen. Couple that with OPPO’s impeccable build quality and warranty; it is a phone to desire.

This is OPPO’s second generation (we did not see the first) and has addressed the apparent shortcomings of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 and Motorola Razr 2023. Not saying either of these are bad at all – just that OPPO has outdone them on paper, at least.

• The cover screen is larger – 3.26” versus Samsung’s tiny 1.9” makes it ultimately usable.
• MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ had me wondering at first when the others used Qualcomm Snapdragons, but it is an inspired choice for performance, heat management and battery life. The OPPO throttles 20% over 15 minutes at full load versus Samsung/Razr at 40%.
• 50/8MP rear camera and 32MP selfie versus Samsung’s 12/12MP rear and 10MP selfie.
• 4300mAh/1600 cycle/44W SUPERVOOC versus Samsung’ 3700mAh/500 cycle/no charger
• 8/256GB for $1499 versus Samsung’s 8/128GB for $1499.

Of course, Samsung has the brand power, Qi charge and IP68, but OPPO has nailed the specs that count. It is really a battle between the Motorola Razr and OPPO.

We use Fail (below expectations), Passable (meets low expectations), Pass (meets expectations), Pass+ (near Exceed but not class-leading) and Exceed (surpasses expectations or is the class leader) against many of the items below.  You can click on most images for an enlargement.

Entry-level phones should at least score a pass mark against each category.

* Grey market – no Australian warranty, and 5G won’t work

We strongly advise you to buy a genuine model with Australian firmware. It is easy to identify the Australian version – under Settings>About Device>Regulatory Labels, there is an Australian RNZ C-tick mark. There is also an RNZ C-Tick on the box. They use unique Australian 5G sub-6Ghz and 5G low-band frequencies, requiring local activation first. Read Don’t buy a grey market phone (guide)

Consumer Advice – Are flip phones durable?

Two areas can cause issues in all flip-style phones. First, the screen is soft, pliable plastic OLED.

Samsung coats this with 30um Schott UTG with a Mohs hardness scale (1-10 – soft to hard) and a plastic screen protector with an overall rating of 2. It needs thinner glass to handle its tighter radial fold.

OPPO uses 50um Schott UTG glass with a harder plastic screen protector bringing the Mohs rating to approx. 5. It can do this because its radial fold is far less.

The fold is the second issue. Samsung uses a hinge rated to 200,000 folds.

OPPO uses its new Generation Flexion Hinge, rated for 400,000 folds. It can open to any angle between 45 and 110° to use the internal and external cameras in a tripod, tent, waist-level, or camcorder mode.

First Impression – Pass

OK, I am not a flip phone aficionado. Like most, I am concerned about the screen and fold durability, but OPPO seems to have addressed both. It has strengthened Australia’s Consumer Law warranties by claiming 400,000 folds (twice that of Samsung).

When closed, it is very pocketable at 85 x 75 x 16mm x 191g (Samsung 85.9 x 71.9 x 15.9-17.1mm x 187g and Razr 79.79 x 86.45 x 16.99mm x 200g).

When open, it has a 21:9 format (Samsung 22:9 and Razr 20:9) – a slightly wider screen than Samsung.

Cover Screen – Pass+

The 3.26” cover screen makes this most useful, although it is not a mini-Android screen like the Razr. It has the System screen (swipe down), AOD (middle) and Notifications (swipe up). If you swipe right or left, you get widgets including camera, weather, events, timer, recorder, animated animal emoji and more. These are all you need to avoid opening the phone. It reaches 900 nits for excellent daylight readability.

Internal Screen – Pass+

6.8”, 2520 x 1080, 403ppi, 60/120Hz, LPTO AMOLED. It has thickish bezels to protect the screen, a central O-hole 32MP camera, impressive brightness, infinite contrast, 100% sRGB and DCI-P3 (of 8-bit/16.7 million colours).

The screen is HDR10+ capable, reaching 1600 nits peak and typically 400-500 nits during the day for excellent daylight readability. Although it has 60 or 120Hz refresh, we recommend the former as it is not a gamers phone (no flip screen can take it).

Summary: excellent screen and, best of all, an unnoticeable crease.

Processor – Pass+

The MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ is an excellent choice for a flip because of its excellent thermal management and battery life. It also has almost the same power as a Qualcomm SD8 Gen 1.

OPPO uses virtual memory borrowed from the SSD to extend physical memory (like Windows swap space), and you can expand the 8GB by up to 8GB. The effect depends on the load and App complexity.

 The ARM MAIL-G710 returns impressive OpenCL and Vulkan scores, like the SD8 Gen1.

You can mount external SSD drives, but the transfer USB-C 2.0 speeds are around 30-40MBps – acceptable for 4K recording (Samsung cannot, and Razr has USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 for up to 5Gbps speeds).

Throttling is where this flip shines. It throttles by 20% after 15 minutes of full load, where the Samsung and Razr are closer to 40%.

We only wish it had a USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 5Gbps port instead of a USB-C 2.0 480Mbps port.

Comms – Pass but Pass+ when Wi-Fi 6E is updated

• It has Wi-Fi 6E 6GHz capability but would only connect to at Wi-Fi 6 AX 5GHz at 1200Mbps. We have experienced that with many Wi-Fi 6E phones and our Netgear Orbi RBKE963 Quad-band Wi-Fi 6E AX 11000 mesh. We suspect it is because Australia has different Wi-Fi 6E than almost everywhere else, and it will need a firmware update to connect at 2400Mbps. Overall it had strong Wi-Fi out to 15m on the 5GHz band.
• The GPS is dual band and has < 1-metre accuracy – excellent.
• BT is 5.3
• NFC is enabled for Google Pay

Phone – dual active SIM – Pass

It has all Australian and most international 3, 4, and 5G bands – an excellent traveller’s phone. Although it has dual sims (both active), it only has one ringtone.

Unfortunately, as with every MediaTek SoC tested, it has good signal strength for the closest tower but does not find the next three as Qualcomm modems can. It is for the city and suburbs use where there is good coverage.

Battery – 4300mAh and 1600 charge cycles – Exceed

It charges in under an hour, has a 67W SuperVOOC charger inbox and runs a video loop for over 16 hours. PC Mark (Office use) rates it at 18+ hours. It gets just over 4 hours of screen-on time.

It lacks Qi Wireless charging (Samsung and Razr have this).

But the big advantage is OPPOS Battery Health Engine, which sees the battery life extended to 1600 full recharge cycles over the 500-800 of other flagship flips. It is a keeper.

Sound – Stereo and Dolby – Pass+

At last, a phone that I can listen to music without feeling duded (the only other is the OPPO Find X5/Pro).

It has 85dB maximum volume, a decent wide sound stage (even wider with Dolby Atmos DA content) and relatively well-balanced top and bottom speakers (the top is dual ported).

Handsfree is good in both folded and flat with three mics and noise reduction.

Despite being a MediaTek SoC, it appears to have Qualcomm aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX TWS, as well as SBC, AAC, LDAC and LDHC. We could test SBC, AAC and LDAC, so this claim may be incorrect. No matter, as BT is excellent, with great left/right separation and good volume.

It has some mid-and-high-bass, strong mid and low-to-mid treble with recessed high treble. It verges on warm and sweet, which is perfect for music. That bass makes it sound better than most smartphones.

Build – Exceed

OPPO has always had a class-leading build standard, and its resultant reliability is about 99% in an industry that thinks anything over 90% is good. Add a two-year warranty and excellent local after-sales support; you can see why it scores so highly in customer satisfaction ratings.

Did I mention an imperceptible crease? Samsung’s crease put me off flips – this restores the faith.

It is beautifully built and only lacks a formal IP rating. While that is important, I can live without it – I have never toilet-dunked my phone.

Android 14 and up to 18 – Exceed

It has four years of operating system upgrades and five years of security patches. OPPO has certainly lifted its game and now meets or exceeds Samsung and Motorola.

We find ColorOS a valuable light overlay on Android 13 – it papers over the raw Android cracks.

It has all the Google Apps and OPPO substitutes (as OPPO cannot use Google Apps or services in China). These duplicate Apps, like the too many commercial apps – AliExpress, Amazon, Booking.com, Facebook, LinkedIn, O Relax, PUBG, Soloop, TikTok, etc. – are all uninstallable.

Missing

Compared to Samsung Flip4, it lacks IP67. Compared to Razr, it has an 8-bit versus a 10-bit/1.07 billion colour screen. Both have better phone antenna strength – OPPO is a city phone.

A better heading would be what it has over the others.

• Imperceptible screen crease.
• Better cameras (internal and external).
• 67W charger inbox and longer battery life.
• Larger, more useful cover screen.
• Better hinge and more positions to use it.

OPPO Find N2 Flip Camera

The rear dual camera uses an OPPO/Sony developed IMX766 with DOL-HDR (digital overlap HDR) for a much wider dynamic range – and the test shots show it. The 8MP Ultra-wide Sony IMX354 is slightly underwhelming but makes an excellent macro sensor.

Special mention to the internal selfie 32MP Sony IMX709 also with DOL-HDR that takes some of the best selfies I have seen. It is also a perfect video conference camera at 1080p@30fps.

What you see here is OPPO’s superior camera technology at work. It has the MariSilicon X NPU and is tuned by Hasselblad – the shots really show that.

• Discrete MariSilicon X photo processor (18 TOPS – trillion operations per second) and a discrete 20-bit colour path. It produces spectacular images in all light conditions. It also has Ultra 4K HDR and Night video.
• Its collaboration with Swedish Hasselblad for Hasselblad Camera for Mobile includes Natural Colour Calibration (Pro mode) and new radiance, emerald and serenity filters.

In short, day or night, 1X-20X zoom, AI Mode that identifies scenes, still or video, it is hard to take a bad shot.

The only thing lacking is OIS, but MariSilicon X does an excellent job. The images were shot on an overcast day or would have shown even more dynamic range.

Camera comments

• 1X Day Primary sensor – the colours are accurate/ natural and have excellent dynamic range. Good details in the background, shadows, and highlights. Perfection.
• 2X Day: Primary sensor – perfect shot as per 1x
• 5X Day: Primary sensor – terrific detail and the barest hint of background noise
• 10X Day: Primary sensor: good foreground detail and the beginnings of background noise – still excellent.
• 20X Day: Primary sensor: Outside the camera’s capability, but it is not bad compared to other 20X shots.
• Ultra-wide: Reasonable dynamic range but a colour difference to the primary sensor and some noise
• Macro: Good shots from the 8MP sensor. Focal distance is not critical.
• Indoor office light: Perfect/ crisp details/ bright shot, accurate colours and great blacks.
• Bokeh Depth: It does not have a depth sensor, and as AI cannot identify a human face, the whole image is bokeh. It would not happen with a human subject.
• Dark <40 lumens: The standard (not night mode) takes excellent shots with good colour and detail.
• Night mode improves the brightness, detail, and saturates the colour without adding much noise.
• Selfie: The 32/8MP RGGB selfie has natural skin tones, details, and a range of filters to enhance any image. We would go so far as to say it is the best we have seen.

Video

We are not video experts: You can shoot at 4K@30fps, but there is no OIS. The sweet spot is 1080p. Video has excellent colours, great dynamic range, and three mics really pick up voices and reject noise.

CyberShack’s view – OPPO Find N2 Flip is the class leader in almost all respects – it decreases the crease

Were I to buy a flip, the choice comes down to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4, Motorola Razr 2023 and the OPPO Find N2 Flip.

Having reviewed all three, there is no doubt that it is the OPPO by a considerable margin. Razr 2023 has a comparable camera system and UBS-C 3.1 Gen1 port with alt DP cable mirroring to a TV or monitor (that I use). Samsung has IP67, good for clumsy people who toilet-dunk their phones.

Would I buy it?

The Samsung left me wanting (although you would think they got it right after four versions). The Razr intrigued me and was almost a contender. The OPPO could have me reaching for my wallet.

But to be fair, not everyone needs a flip, and I suggest that Samsung’s huge marketing campaign merely opened our eyes to this category.

Winner: OPPO, followed by Razr and then it is about personal taste.
