Weekly poll: is the Oppo Find N the best foldable yet?

19 December 2021
It occupies a niche of its own and it scores a couple of design wins thanks to its hinge. But it is not without its flaws.

            Oppo just like the rest have crap software and a inconsistent user experience, as always Samsung blends high end hardware with top quality software perfectly, the Chinese brands only seem to be good at hardware, which is a big let down

              Comparing to Fold 3, there is a major drawback with Find N that nobody has brought up. A lot of apps that we are using are designed for portrait orientation. When using Samsung Fold 3 in single app mode, the vertical space is barely enough. Oppo Find N will be worse. When opened normally in landscape, Find N screen is about 30mm (25%) shorter or 20mm (20%) shorter rotated - compared to Fold 3 (in portrait). The amount of viewable content on Find N is maybe 50-70% of what is shown on fold 3 (after accounting for app top and bottom bars)

              Also the Find N would be horrible with top-bottom window multitasking (due to its short height). So if you want to watch a big video playing on top and multitask on bottom, Find N is no good (or very restrictive). Find N also has no advantage with side-by-side window multitasking. Compared to Fold 3, each Find N window is just 5.5mm wider but a massive 30mm shorter.

                  Inner screen too small, minimum at least 10"-11"
                  Outer screen too small at least 6.7"
                  No sd card slot
                  Not the latest & greatest cpu

                  Overall, it isn't for me

                    bleony, 20 Dec 2021No S Pen (or something similar), no deal for me. I agree, seems like a huge wasted opportunity of a canvas that can also fold inside your pocket.

                      No SD card slot = NO BUY!

                          The reason i dont buy these phones even though hardware is good, is only because they are closed bootloader, the day all these phones come out from their boredom and open them to 3rd party developers, i shall buy them ,
                          tell then a big Big No

                            Won't include the Huawei Mate X/XS because that form factor is prone to damage the most and the prices for them are outrageous.

                            Among Foldables
                            Shortest: Flip 3 if folded, Find N if unfolded
                            Narrowest: Razr 2019 (72 mm), Flip 3 is 2nd
                            Lightest: Flip 3
                            Tallest: Mi Mix Fold
                            Widest: Mate X2
                            Heaviest: Mi Mix Fold with ceramic

                            I own the two most compact and lightest foldables. The Razr 5G is the cheapest you can buy right now as you should avoid the 4G one. I'm actually content with what I already have but Find N has got me curious. Duos really don't count as foldables and just way too wide even if closed.

                            I feel the Find N has the best dimensions for a book-style foldable with my only qualms being its weight and thickness. If it could be 230 g and be a couple more millimeters thinner when closed, it would be nearly flawless to me. But it's as heavy as the PSP and Vita phats which can get annoying if holding them for an extended period of time.
