Oppo Find N2 Flip

TBA

Flip phones are becoming popular again, and the latest one to be released is the Oppo Find N2 Flip. This is the first time the Chinese phone maker has released a foldable for the global market — previous versions never made it here — and the N2 Flip takes some of the lessons learned on board. The vertical cover screen is large, at 3.26in, with a vertical orientation and widgets that can be used to deal with notifications without needing to open the phone. Fully open, it has a 6.8in E6 AMOLED display, with a 21:9 aspect ratio and an adaptive refresh rate of 120Hz.

It is thin and light too, weighing in at 191g and only 7.45mm thick.

The camera system features a Sony IMX890 sensor, with a 50-megapixel main camera and 32-megapixel selfie camera, and the hinge will hold its position between 45-110 degrees so you can position the phone for steady shots without a tripod.

The N2 Flip also has a decent battery too, with fast charging that will get you up and running more quickly when needed.
