Hey Chaps! If you COULD buy the Find N2.. would you be tempted??
absolutely
love your vids Tom. Keep up the good work mate
Definitely - would need to evaluate price & cons of owning a Chinese version. Such a shame, I was holding out for this as my first foldable.
Yes, it tempts me a lot
Defo worth checking out. I like the phone size, good highlight.
Foldable phones getting better every year, I'm sure I'll buy one, one day.
Same.
I think this phone is very nice. The size is just perfect. Maybe in the netx 3 years foldable phones will be more present in the market.
@FLN 764 noy really they save u money
@FLN 764 and space
My foldable phone was the Fold 3... had it for 6 months than traded it in for the S22 Ultra.
I loved the phone but hated the outer display. It was way too small to use, especially for typing/texting. And there were many times where I didn't want to unfold the phone to send a quick reply to someone but was forced to.
When Samsung decides to make the outer display look mote like a traditional phone, than I will go back to it
Same man
This is the shape I always wanted for the Fold. I'll go back to a Samsung fold when they stop making them so narrow
Supposedly the Pixel Fold will use this form factor so I’m definitely looking forward to it
And so prohibitively expensive.
@@kevinphoenix2007will become cheaper, this is fresh new developing tech so just wait.
"when they stop making them so narrow"
Screen size and aspect ratio are two completely different things. Don't confuse the two.
Guess what the original 1st gen Galaxy Fold with its tiny outer display has in common with the Vivo X Fold??
Both outer displays have 21:9 aspect ratio.
@@MarcoTooFly Just came off the Pixel 7. That thing is not consistent when they do their patches, as one thing gets fixed and another things goes wrong. I wouldn't get a pixel fold or any other pixel for that matter. Luckilly OnePlus has announced that they are releasing their fold late 2023 and it'll be the oppo fold n2 with better specs which makes perfect sense since the same company who owns oppo, owns OnePlus.
I would definitely consider buying the Find N2. A nice compact design and the camera seems pretty good.
I like the size/form factor of that find n/n2. I think it's more natural to have a squarish screen on foldables plus it's more usable rather than rectangular screen of fold4.
"plus it's more usable"
No it isn't. 😂😂😂
ALL current non-clamshell foldable phones that are available to buy STILL have garbage internal aspect ratios. 😂😂😂
My S22 Ultra can literally see more content during web browsing, gaming, and watching 16:9 or 21:9 movies and TV shows vs the internal display of any non-clamshell foldable phone.
Galaxy Flex S is what a foldable phone SHOULD BE. 👍
This is the type of design that will start putting foldables in pockets. Finally lighter, seems relatively durable....bring to the US!
Honestly it's a different approach, but it's refreshing to see manufacturers trying different routes 👍🏾 Kudos to OPPO
Pretty much the same thing as galaxy fold. Copy and paste
@@Ryanlexz definitely
Oppo is overpriced. Like iphones.
@@Ryanlexz Its litterally a totally different phone in every dimension, if having a folding feature is consider copy and paste then all foldable phones are a copy and paste of Samsung. According to this logic since Apple started the smart phone trend so are Samsung just copying pasting apple? Motorola started the first cellphone, so are all phone companies just copying Motorola? What kind of dumb logic is that?
It's the same as the original Find N but with updated specs.
This is it. The first Find N was the only foldable I was interested in, and now it looks like it just got even better. The only one that has the correct dimensions and form factor.
I think this is a better form factor than the Z Fold because when it's closed it's wider, and it's so compact when closed. So this kinda gives you the best of both worlds (You know, a small phone you can actually use one handed and a big screen once you unfold it!)
Coming from a Fold user myself, I a 100% agree, also really had to get used to the relatively small main screen when closed
Agree and also on the fold while watching movies, the black bars make the experience less enjoyable
This is why we need different companies making foldables. We need more competition which creates a better product. Apple will enter the market only once everyone else has perfected the craft. Apple will give it a cute name and the sheeps will pretend the foldable is brand new.
@@raizo476 Yes totally!
@@TechLidBull Exactly! Competition is always good for the consumer 🌚✨
Short + Chubby = Cute ... applies to foldable phone as well 😄
well OPPO says they are considering the global release and Pete also mentions it so if the market pushes a bit it might be poossible...
Or you can just resort to AE or JD
Yeah...only if the market pushes a bit more...for that people need to hit Samsung on their heads and say "reduce your price tag so that people can buy it, not dream it"
This looks like my ideal form factor for a folding phone. Love the more square aspect ratio.
Although I'd like to have a day or two using it before taking the plunge. I bet there are use cases
where the inner screens aspect ratio breaks some apps. Also not using SD8G2 is a big miss
considering the improved battery life it offers.
my issue with this format of foldables is the tablet mode does nothing for video content consumption. the usual size on a 16:9 video is not much more that a normal phone.
Great for multitasking and side by side apps. But personally i never side-by-side on anything that doesnt have a mouse cursor
Watch 4:3 content, like dragon ball 😎😉
I’m a Korean using Galaxy fold 4 and now seriously taking this as sth to be counted for the alternative. should I sell mine and buy this ? so so so impulsive now… how dare did they cowork with Hasselblad.. this is frankly sorta insane piece ..
Oppo are often overlooked. My oppo find x5 pro since having the android 13 upgrade is faster and smoother than my pixel 7 pro. I kid you not. I'd have the n2 over any other foldable . Can't wait for the find x6 pro.
I agree, this construction makes the most sense so far.
I don't understand why they only want to sell it in China 😏 let them improve the SW at least to a similar level as Samsung and we can talk about a super replacement for the Fold 4 or the future 5.
I personally don't care about water resistance at all.. rather the functionality and use of the internal display
They don't release it cause they can't produce that much. The technology is still expensive + most of the people doesn't buy it.
@TOM you know about App compatibility and optimisation right? The Chinese version of a ROM is specifically optimise for the china-only games and apps, not the global ones. You can't expect a China only device to do the same like Z fold 3 and 4.
Also, the games and other social media are specifically made for the 16:9 and similar ratio. Find N and N2 have an option in which you can size the apps to open in a specific ratio(even full screen) so that's a manageable thing .
Also Fold 3 and 4 are closer to the 16:9 ratio, that's why you can't see the black bars. Make it a bit shorter and you will get a good amount of black bars.
They want to sell it in China only because they don't want to face a loss. In China there's a good demand for foldable phones. You won't find that in the global market. If people start to buy Foldables then only they will launch it along with the Vivo X fold. BBK brands are specifically known to be a bit like Apple, they won't be entering a specific product in the market unless there's a demand for it. And in the current state, there's very less demand for Foldables and huge demand for flagships, upper midrangers and other phones. They will profit more by not launching their foldable globally than launching it.
From a design perspective, I love it! Looks like what apple would do. If I was interested in a foldable this would be the one. Looks better the Samsung in my opinion. It's lovely. looks way more pocketable and I would love to use it for a work device for teams and outlook.
I think fold phones should be of this size perfect size. Samsung should take this and make a foldable
I love my Zf4, but the pocketable form factor is 👌.
I love the Samsung Folds, I just want them to produce a fold with a similar form factor to the Find N series. Samsung software/One UI 5 in the Find N 2 FF would be perfect for me.
If i was ever going to buy a folding phone, i think this would be it... A really nice balance between size (screens and dimensions) and features. Samsungs fold looks a bit to tall/square.
This is literally a square what is your complaint
@@mit6089 more like a 2013 tablet i would say
The Honor Magic VS looks better to me. Still waiting on its full review from you Tom! Hopefully it's a good one!
Even if I'm a Samsung fan, I love OPPO too. Their audio devices were fantastic. For this N2, they need to add water resistance and a pen just like the S pen function.
They have pen compatibility but you will have to buy it separately just like you would've needed to do with an S21 Ultra.
China-only phones don't have IP rating as nobody cares much about Water resistance in Asian market. If it were to release globally, you would get the IP rating.
Absolutely love my z flip 4 but the n2 seems to be the perfect form factor and I'd likely get that if it was available.
it's better than zfold overall. but it still need to be improve to be useful for most consumers in mobile market
Could you not just order one from china and put a uk sim in it and change the language to uk ?
Yes - but probably won't work with 5G
@@Thetechchap thats ok i dont use 5g i think its overrated lol
Dear Mr tec chap when you get the new xiaomi phones in will you please do a full review on miui 14 and let us know if we can use 3rd party launchers with gestures or we have more customization with the stock launcher I've got the redmi note 10 Pro and I will get android 13 with miui 14 when not so sure but it would be great if you could let us know oh merry Christmas
Nice looking phone, but I'm sticking to my fold 4, luv it all around.
Samsungs software and reliability is much better as compared to Oppo. Plus I'm sure the next fold 5 will be even more refined after seeing its competitors push them harder to compete. I'll just trade in for fold 5 then if it's worth it.
I'm rocking the fold 4. I love it but the oppo has a really nice design to it. And seems like a nice mini version
It's not wise to spend much money on oppo phone which known as cheap china phone (no offend). Find N2 is not ipx rated so its quite risky whether u take your phone to pool or beach or daily use when u accidentally pour (or being poured) some water on it. Imho fold 4 has better folded design because the compacticity when u hold it or down to your pocket than any wider boxy thick phone which cost more space.
I seriously haven't met with anyone who treats their phones like a grizzly bear or Squid.
Foldables are impressive, but I'm not attracted to the Galaxy fold because of the dimensions, if anything it looks like a small brick. This oppo however has piqued my interest! The size makes sense and I can see my self using this as both a phone and a tablet for getting work done, especially when paired with a keyboard & touch pad/mouse.
My question is: If I buy this model, will work in Europe? Thanks
Yah
I really like the screen size..hope samsung would consider
Screen size and aspect ratio are two completely different things. Don't confuse the two.
Find N2's outer display is 5.54 inches.
Z Fold 4's outer display is 6.2 inches.
Less than a 1 inch screen size difference and yet they both look vastly different from each other when folded shut because of the aspect ratio.
if they were to launch this in the uk for under £1k...it would be extremely tempting... Samsung to me slap on a higher price tag just because it's samsung but the fold is also too slim when closed...the flip is also not worth more than £700 for what you get
What's your experience of using the Chinese version in the UK and what are the downsides?
don’t have the phone, but common problems are the lack of a play store and cellular bands.
@@alexkwan3 play store is easily installed. Cellular bands should be checked from country to country. On English language.
I use one plus which is Chinese And it does have play store lol
I've never liked super large phones, the largest I've had is this Motorola G Power 2022 model, I have a 2021 model as well. The 2022 is for work, the 2021 replaces my land line at home and is tied to a panasonic set of cordless phones at home, so I have a phones all over the house. And my personal phone is an apple se because I like a smaller phone to fit in my pocket. But I like this form factor of the oppo, it's not weird like the samsung or too small like the moto flip one. I still revel at the device the humans used in Earth the final conflict and I'm waiting for that. LOL it was like a scroll that one pulled out and the screen was on the scroll, a true rolling screen!! Well done review, if this wasn't a "Chinese" company phone, I'd look into getting one.
If my fold 4 was this size I would have kept it. I really like the compact design of this phone.
Sharp and straight, please?
Fold 4 or this Oppo?
Oppo find N is a unique product and it should be available across globe . I liked its wide screen
The Honor Magic Vs looks better, and that IS coming to the UK!
This phone seems pretty decent.
This beauty!!! When is this coming to EU?!?!?
MS take a note for the MS Surface DUO 3
Nice video. Sometimes it does feel pointless reviewing a foldable phone if you can’t actually buy it. If you did buy it direct from China would it be optimised to use this in another country or would you like most goods have to pay tax to get it imported.
I was wondering also cus these can be bought on giztop
@@katinasutherlandwhited5578 Yes that’s right but as I’m from the UK I don’t know if Giztop is operating here as no U.K. TH-camr mentions Giztop. I have heard about Giztop from a Brilliant TH-camr Flossy Carter who regulars orders from Giztop in the USA
I'm totally tempted by this. If we import it will it work on our UK networks?
Like carriers? Yeah they will, bu I recommend waiting for the N3 or some othet foldable, they're still quite new and prototype like. But the N2 is brilliant, the size is just perfect.
Hello, great video but are you sure the device will only release in China ? I heard it will reach European countries as well !
If only Samsung would adopt this form factor...
I really wait for the pixel foldable device 🥰
But only because I really like stock android and not Android by manufacturer's.
chinese phone,no thanks,i dont want my data to get mined in china.
i would DEFINITELY buy this one !
Easily the best foldable form factor so far. Way prefer this to the zfold
Because he already owned it, duh!
i love this design, but i prefer galaxy fold with samsung dex feature.
That's not just limited to fold. You can find Samsung Dex on S-series too. So given the price of their foldables, it will be better to go with S-series instead or the prev model or 2nd hand foldable.
Oppo find n2 5 times better than the Samsung zfail 4
Because the ratio here is better and the hinge is much better and that annoying highway in the middle of the screen here is almost invisible unlike the zfail 4
And the most important and the main reason this one is better
Here the chipset is working the same as normal phones no underclocking at all so games wanna work at highest fps
But the zfail 4 the snapdragon 8gen1 plus on it performs the same like snapdragon 845 in games
Big underclocking and I can't understand this Samsung
You should learn from oppo
Somehow I'm not surprised that they're keeping it exclusive. Despite the original Find N being a great first folding device, it probably still only moved very few overall units. These companies have to decide what's financially sensible for them in terms of the markets that they source units to.
Hopefully they see this positive reception and reconsider :)
@@Thetechchap Should I import this from China if I have the Oppo X5 Find Pro but will there be a massive difference between them with the camera performance? Thanks 👍
I like the outer screen size, one down side of the Fold series that I don't like from Samsung.
Screen size and aspect ratio are two completely different things. Don't confuse the two.
Looks like the perfect form factor. WIsh I could get one 😢
Oppo are crazy not to being this to other countries. 😢
I think I prefer the current formfactor of the fold 4. Ymmv of course.
You're maths are way off!! 400000 folds works out to 182 folds a day from 6 years, I don't know where you acme out with 5000+ folds a day.
honestly i'd love for regular non foldable phones to use that aspect ratio for the display
Same. I hate the long, skinny displays of phones.
@@Drstrange3000
Same
Phones are getting taller and taller for absolutely no real reason. 18-20:9 aspect ratios are quite honestly unnecessary and serves no real purpose compared to the old 16:9
Honestly I'd be fine with either 16:9 or whatever the aspect ratio Find N2 cover display is using over the current 18:9 and 20:9 aspect ratios.
@@Justakatto No idea why the hell you want LESS visibility by going back to garbage 16:9 phones. 😂😂😂
@@PSYCHOV3N0M
16:9 is "Less visible'?
I suppose this is one of those "say you have no clue what you're talking about without actually saying you have no clue what you're talking about" situations eh
I have a find x2 pro and i am so happy, so I wanted to stay with oppo. The problem is that here in Europe you can only have the N2 from China market, with no warranty. After I spend more than 1k euros .... What if the one they send you is defective or what if something happens? I guess I'll have to go with the Samsung Z4 fold (with a 25W charge) , unfortunately...
I'm a huge fan for wanting a android flip phone. But these current screen folding phones aren't durable enough as these folding phones are known for crease cracking after folding and unfolding several times then suffer from black lines and cracked screens.
What I really really want so badly.
Is just bring back the old style flip phones we use to have that are strong and durable and can be thrown around like a brick.
But what I want is a true android flip phone that looks like the old flip phones from back in the day. Put in a high end rear camera, with a touch screen for the flip phone to be able to use apps that need a touch screen. Flip phone that has full android os to be able to install all android apps with minimum 128gb memory 6gb ram. Large enough battery to last an entire heavy use day. Be build ragged to be able to be thrown around and have a rubbery feel like sonim xp3 flip phones.
And be priced for around $300-400 Canadian dollar. This is the type of phone I really really want, but no one builds these.
We only have either smartphones or a dumb flip phone, or flip phone with crappy Kai OS with crappy cameras.
Let's bring back normal flip phones like the good ol' days, but build them with full android OS with full android support, high end cameras and touch screen with the normal keypad bottom of the phone like a regular flip phone.
Wait didn't Oppo say it going to be global sale?
If the next gen Find N3 does the following,
1. Water resistance
2.wireless charging
3. Sold in europe
I will finally upgrade from my Pixel 6 Pro to a worthy foldable and get into that segment I've been eyeing at for so long!
instead of this great device we can buy the huge disappointment that's the Galaxy z fold...
235gram is still very heavy
Please check the data privacy setting before you introduce this stuff to European.
If i were you, i will not introduce this unit to foreigners outside PRC.
All the best fold phone are Chinese rom. I can live with that import price for Oppo n £800 and oppo n2 £1100. Look so nice compare to samsung z fold 4.
Hi Tech Chap I have bought one of these from someone reset and set up in English but when on the search engine or many places everything is in chinese I have tried everything to change language etc but no joy.
Is there anyway to get this fully into English as it is driving me mad :-)
I have bought Oppo phones before I would buy that phone today if I could. One of my phones is the Fold 3 but I do not like how thin it is closed. If it was a full sized phone I would have bought the Fold 4.
Does it have Android 12L?
I could never buy a device that doesn't have water resistance
Why you live under water?
this would work better with a double fold to get the aspect ration to 16:9, those black bars are just a massive waste of screen estate which for me effectively renders this useless for video and movie watching
Oppo should make a locking feature that will not unfold if you don't have the right password, finger print & face lock.
honor magic Vs vs this oppo. no fold4, got screwed with s22ultra in europe, won't be fooled again by samsung.
If you look at this piece of tech and you don’t find it very exciting and innovative, you’ve already been buried in a certain boring walled garden!
If you get it in the US, can you send and receive group messages? I've heard people that can't. Thanks.
Such a shame it isnt coming to the UK as i have had every samsung fold and im getting bored of have a phone that is to long, this phone would be perfect as it opens up but it small and compact
This is best foldable design small comfortable usually but when you want you can enjoy a large display.
this looking very very good. I wish they sell globally.
Me too!
They should make a flip that has 3-4 inch outside and 5-5.5 outside when flipped open, this would be so dope.
Do a vlog test on iPhone 14 pro max just like what you did on the iPhone 13 pro max😍😍
Don't worry folks google is coming out with one SOON!!!! May 2023😮
In us or Universal we need cooler ways of the phones opening like the sidekick 2023 would be cool
This is a foldable phone that is usable like the screen isn't too tall or too wide like the Samsung ones and icl I'd buy this
Damn, if Samsung can match the flatness of that hinge I will switch back to the fold.
This looks great, if only the interior screen wasn't borderline useless with that awful display ratio.
I stand by the fact that the z fold has the better screen tradeoff. Since you can't have both be great, I feel the fold is the way to go, thinner screens are less optimal for watching video, but are ideal for most 3d gaming, and are ideal fro scrolling through the internet as you get far more lines of content. And the interior screen you still want it to be as close to 16:9 as you can get to maximize general content.
But for say reading Manga or watching older 4:3 content, the folds inner screen is just about perfect.
Too bad you can’t get this in us. It’s so much better than the z fold 4
When put side by side with Samsung Fold 4, the Samsung looks dated. Find N2 is the best hardware form factor for a foldable phone. It's compact, powerful, light, and reliable.
Awesome 🙏🙋♂️👍
Oppo makes really good phones now making good foldable phonez this one looks really good especially the vegan leather
Honestly, never known anybody use their phone on a flat surface. Is it a thing?
the only phone id buy for foldable. I hate it when they are really tall, you cant reach stuff with your thumb.
oh yes please let's all make sure that they change their mind !
i will buy this one right away if they'll bring it out here in europe !
Why cant i buy this phone ? I saw it on a billboard advert the other day .. And i live in Africa ..
How is the camera is it nice or not? I planning to but oppo find N2
When the price is £1200 or less I'm in. If, the outer display is actually regular phone shaped. Samsung's Galaxy Fold is a non-starter.
Thats what i m talking about.small yet powerful.hope android start to make small phones
Such a fan of this more compact form factor. Shame it isn't coming to the UK!
If you are okay with the Chinese version of ColorOS, then you can import it from China
Indeed its really a shame.
Oppo find n2 is same with Zero fold 4 only the screen size is different Z fold 4 is bigger size.
Watching this from a Samsung Galaxy Z4 fold 🫡
OPPO find 3 will be 🔥🔥🔥
Give it a break bro. The find N2 just launched and you are preparing for Find N3. You are more impatient than Oppo is with their Reno Series😅
This video kills me. It's not available outside of China, but yet, they send you a demo. Isn't TH-cam banned in China? Lol. Get the rest of the word excited for a phone we can't even buy/use..
I mean I do explain in the title, and in first 30seconds of the video you can't buy it. But if the reception is positive enough, they may reconsider. And it's a tease of what we might see on the N2 flip
The best form factor. It's an actual Phone+Tablet in your pocket.
