Oppo’s answer to the Fold 4 and Flip 4 sounds impressive in new spec leaks

Oppo has been competing head-to-head with the likes of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 with the Find N. But its successor — the rumored Find N2, as well as another rumored flip phone device — seem like they could be the best foldables that the company has offered if recent leaks are to be believed. Foldables have been growing in terms of their popularity in the mobile market, and with the release of its new devices, Oppo may be leading the charge.

According to a post on Chinese blogging site Weibo (first spotted by GSMArena), the Find N2 boasts relatively similar specs to the original Find N, with one major upgrade: a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. The new chipset is a big step up from the Find N’s Snapdragon 888, putting it on a similar level as Samsung’s current lineup of foldables, which also use the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

Other specs for the Find N2 include a 7.1-inch LTPO AMOLED foldable display that has a refresh rate of 120Hz, the same as is found in the original. The leak also claims that the Find N2 will have a battery size of 4,520mAh, an ever-so-slight increase from the 4,500mAh cell in the previous edition.

The leak for the currently unnamed Oppo flip phone doesn’t talk much about the internal specs of the device, and instead focuses on the folding display and the cameras. According to a separate post on Weibo, the clamshell features a slightly smaller 6.8-inch internal OLED screen and a 3.26-inch OLED display on the back for easy use when folded.

The leak says that the phone will feature two rear cameras: a 50MP main lens with a Sony IMX766 sensor and an 8MP ultrawide lens with a Sony IMX355 sensor. The selfie camera is said to be a 32MP lens with a Sony IMX709 sensor. In terms of battery, the Oppo flip device is rumored to have a 4,300mAh cell.

While both devices seem promising, Oppo has kept the Find N regionally exclusive to Asia, but that may be changing with the release of the Find N2 and the unnamed flip phone. Recent reports seem to indicate that the company may be launching both devices in Europe alongside their Asian releases. It’s still too early to know for certain, however, as Oppo hasn’t officially confirmed either phone’s existence yet.

One week with the Galaxy Z Flip 4 made me a folding phone believer
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Bora Purple open standing

Prior to the iPhone, cell phones came in all sorts of interesting form factors. We had flip phones, sliding phones, tiny phones, and more. I remember one of my first cell phones was a hybrid of a smartphone with a flimsy flip cover that I got through Sprint. Then came phones like the Motorola Razr, which everyone had; if you didn’t, you weren’t “cool.” But once the iPhone came out, every phone after began to look the same — a slab of glass and metal.

This trend continues to this day, which is, let’s face it, a bit boring. That’s why I was so intrigued by the idea of folding and flip phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip series. Samsung is dominating the foldable phone market at the moment, as there isn’t much competition from other manufacturers, especially in the U.S.

The new Oppo Find N2 is the folding phone upgrade I’ve waited all year for
Holding the partially open Oppo Find N2.

The Oppo Find N2 may sound like it’s a simple sequel to the Oppo Find N folding smartphone we first saw this time last year. You almost already know what it will be like; the usual small spec updates and perhaps a slightly new look too. It’s not, though — it's actually way more than that.

The Oppo Find N2 is such a massive generational improvement that it makes the Find N feel almost like a prototype device, and it shows what manufacturers can do in a year when they really put their minds to it. What's more, its brilliance is great news for another forthcoming foldable phone from Oppo.
Is the Find N2 really that much better?
