Oppo Find N Foldable Phone with waterdrop Hinge launched at Inno Day event

On the second day of its Inno Day event being held in Shenzhen, China, Oppo launched its first mainstream foldable phone, the Find N, which is more compact and affordable as compared to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. 

The major chunk of the launch event covered foldable use cases and in convincing users and media personnel that how the form factor is now a necessary next step in smartphone evolution. 

Oppo Find N Price and availability 

For now, the Oppo Find N will be available only in China. The 8GB RAM and 256GB storage option has been priced at CNY 7699 (roughly $1200) and the 12GB RAM and 512GB storage option will retail for CNY 8999 (or roughly $1400). 

Oppo Find N Specifications 

To start with, Oppo Find N has a 5.49-inch cover display (1972 x 988) and unfolds to reveal a bigger 7.1-inch LTPO screen (1792 x 1920) with a 120Hz variable refresh rate display. Sticking to the 18:9 aspect ratio for the cover display ensures that the primary screen won’t feel odd to consumers, but it also means that the phone will be a tad wider than the Galaxy ZFold 3 in its folded state. 

The 7.1-inch size offers 60 per cent more visual area than a regular 6.7-inch display phone. Oppo studied the sound of limousine door closing in order to achieve a gratifying folding snap for users

The gapless hinge that can fold halfway has been designed to create a water-drop-like fold in order to minimize the crease (similar to hinges used by Motorola and Huawei). Oppo says the bulk of their R&D effort over 4 years went into perfecting this hinge and claims that it successfully made the crease notably less intrusive than the competition.

The foldable screen has a layer of ultra-thin glass that can withstand 200,000 folds. 

On the software side of things, there are convenient ways to split-screen, make app pair and to multi-task. 

The Oppo Find N weighs 275g in heft and is 15.9 mm in thickness when folded. Snapdragon 888 octa-core chipset paired with 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB UFS 3.1 storage. The phone houses a 4500mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging and 15W wireless charging. 

As for optics, the primary camera is a 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor and it’s assisted by a 16MP ultra-wide and 13MP telephoto camera. 

Apart from Find N, Oppo also introduced MariSilicon X ISP and Air Glass.

The Air Glass can display useful information directly in front of your eyes. It comprises of two components, an oppo-designed frame that houses components like Snapdragon Wear 4100 Platform chipset and a snap-on monocular waveguide and Spark Micro Projector that uses micro-LED technology to project information through the five-element glass lenses. Some advertised use cases include teleprompter, real-time translations, weather information, GPS Navigation, and checking your phone notifications with a nod of your head.

This week in Android: It’s weird phone week

We got to play with a lot of cool tech at CES 2019 , but little was cooler than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 . Qualcomm had a reference device  sporting the new SoC and we were able to put it through its paces , including our very own Speed Test G . The results are impressive. In other big news this week, we found out  Motorola is planning on bringing back the Razr phone , made famous in the mid 2000s. We don’t know a lot about the phone itself, but we can make some guesses  based on a patent  from August of last year. Plus, we look ahead at the future of LG and OnePlus , including a new peculiar accessory for LG . Also, we have good news and bad news about Huawei’s security. Here are your top stories for the week 4:20 – Snapdragon 855 performance and benchmarking: Speed Test G, AnTuTu & Geekbench At CES, Gary Sims previewed the  Snapdragon 855 processor in reference hardware. He had some fun with it. 21:45 – You’ll flip for the foldable Motorol...

My product launch wishlist for Instagram, Twitter, Uber and more

‘Twas the night before Xmas, and all through the house, not a feature was stirring from the designer’s mouse . . . Not Twitter! Not Uber, Not Apple or Pinterest! On Facebook! On Snapchat! On Lyft or on Insta! . . . From the sidelines I ask you to flex your code’s might. Happy Xmas to all if you make these apps right. Instagram See More Like This – A button on feed posts that when tapped inserts a burst of similar posts before the timeline continues. Want to see more fashion, sunsets, selfies, food porn, pets, or Boomerangs? Instagram’s machine vision technology and metadata would gather them from people you follow and give you a dose. You shouldn’t have to work through search, hashtags, or the Explore page, nor permanently change your feed by following new accounts. Pinterest briefly had this feature (and should bring it back) but it’d work better on Insta. Web DMs  – Instagram’s messaging feature has become the defacto place for sharing memes and trash talk about peopl...

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
