KEY POINTS

Innovation has always been a core principle at OPPO, encompassing design, innovation, and performance. The Find N2 Flip exemplifies this commitment. Since 2018, extensive research has been conducted, specifically focusing on various flip phones, which has led OPPO to a profound realization: a larger cover screen enhances the user experience by enabling effortless tasks such as checking notifications, texting, and capturing selfies.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The more things change, the more they remain the same, reflecting the idea that despite outward transformations or progress, the underlying essence or nature of things remains constant. The Mobile phone industry has demonstrated this very clearly with how the new renaissance of design is taking the world by storm.

“The snake may shed its skin, but it remains a snake.” This proverb highlights that even though a snake may undergo physical changes by shedding its skin, it does not alter its inherent nature as a snake. OPPO has shed its skin and roared into the tier-one segment of the big boys with the flip design. The inherent aspect of OPPO has remained the same; the best photography, and the best software for content creators. The flip design is taunted as the best currently in the world as more players play catch up.

“The old elephant walks softly.” This saying signifies the wisdom and experience of older individuals or generations. Despite the passage of time and the emergence of new ideas, the wisdom gained from previous generations remains relevant and valuable. OPPO has learned from their experience, especially the data collected from their customers in the content and influencing industry that has ultimately enabled them to craft a phone whose design has ultimately heralded what business analysts are calling the renaissance of the mobile phone in modern times. Indeed because of OPPO, clients, and customers have better options in the market.

“A river that forgets its source will surely dry up.” This proverb emphasizes the importance of recognizing and respecting one’s origins, history, and cultural heritage. It suggests that when people or societies disconnect themselves from their roots, traditions, and values, they risk losing their identity and purpose. OPPO in their designing of the FLIP did not forget where they have come from. The cost of the phone is amazing. They have designed a phone that is top tier with a budget that has shocked many and sent their competitors back to the drawing board. Imagine having the best at a price that is affordable and sustainable for all its target market. The FLIP has excited the market in ways that many analysts did not predict or expect.

OPPO has consistently embraced innovation, and this philosophy remains true with its latest offering, the OPPO Find N2 Flip. This remarkable device introduces a cutting-edge cover screen that sets a new standard in the foldable phone market. Recognizing the significance of achieving the right balance, OPPO’s skilled and creative engineers have dedicated their expertise and experience to meticulously crafting a cover screen that strikes the perfect equilibrium in terms of size and proportions. As a result, the overall design of the phone seamlessly harmonizes with this standout feature. Just as in life, finding the ideal equilibrium leads to the most optimal outcomes, and OPPO has precisely accomplished that with the Find N2 Flip.

The STANDOUT FEATURES of the Find N2 Flip LIE in its FOLDING DESIGN and its AFFORDABLE PRICE. This sets it apart from other smartphones in its price range. While it may not boast top-tier hardware or exceptional photography capabilities like the Samsung Galaxy S23, Google Pixel 7 Pro, or Apple’s iPhone 14, it certainly offers a more captivating and intriguing experience. These aforementioned alternatives may be more suitable choices if the folding functionality is not a priority and budget is a concern, as they are available at a similar price point and arguably offer better overall performance.

For those who are curious about foldable devices, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 emerges as a direct competitor, along with the upcoming Motorola Razr+. Samsung has taken advantage of its software to maximize the potential of the foldable form factor, but the Find N2 Flip by Oppo presents a significantly more affordable option. With its charming, compact design exuding a touch of class, this device may prove to be the perfect choice for individuals seeking a foldable experience without breaking the bank. Additionally, it offers a level of convenience and portability that makes it particularly appealing to users with a preference for smaller form factors.
