Bar vs Flip: an Oppo experiment

03 September 2023
Are foldable Flip phones better than the existing bars?

Sort by:

What's better, having poor fold/flip or top specs beast tablet and bar phone.
Ordinary folks won't know, but those who care will just laugh at its performance of main phone spec - cameras.
Just compare any fold or flip camera performance to oppo x6 pro with its 1" and 1/1.5" sensors.
Its really, an experiment with users.

      My opinion is simply: Both bar and flip phones will be obsolete, when foldable phones will come in form of WRISTPHONES, its a term I coined myself, although world might've made it earlier..

      And I dont mean smartwatch, I mean an entire phone with a 6 inch (foldable/ flexible) display that wraps around your wrist, and goes absolute flat screen on unlocking it, through bezel mechanisms.

      What do you guys think about my idea?

        Bump this big to take worse photos than phones with sensors half the size.

          And not a word about the fragility of the inner screen ... :(
          Does it feel fragile?
          Do you have to remind yourself to be careful? During opening? Is it possible to open it with one hand, but one should simply not do it because it involves prying with your thumb and therefore scratching the inner screen ...
          How much inconvenience does it add? 50% chance to be forced to replace the inner screen in 2 years?

            The point of flips are to have a big screen, wallet size.

              The results are to be "expected"

              Unless you see a flip in a closed state then opened you would not register it as a flip. You see so many people on their phones, you pay them little attention.

              Flip phones are gaining in popularity and would naturally garner interest due to the new form factor, especially the screen.

              Quite possibly I have seen msny persons with open flip and not noticed.

              As a format I have zero interest in getting one, so on that point say only two phones left, I would purchase the X6 Pro

              Folds however raise my pulse rate.
              As you said the N3 Flip is days away from release.
              Purely on specs alone this has opened an even bigger lead over the other Flip phones.

              The Camera improvements are substantial , no wrong word hyperstantial it now is a triple Camera flip

              Hassleblad triple Camera same as on the Oppo Find N2 (fold)

              I accept that at Wimbledon 2023 the N2 flip was the latest flip released

              I am a skeptic Wimbledon so you say and not one shot of a player, a broken Djokovic racquet, the covers going up. Tell me you got one autograph at least

                  Oppo really loves giving China exclusive phones to markets where they don't sell the phone.

                  Weird flex.

                    Oppo love showing off the x6 when they won't release it internationally, it's sad.

                      Flips don't make sense since 99.99% + 00.01% = 100% of the stuff are done when the phone is open. It's not like you can do those things but in a smaller size for quick access to stuff. Like what if I wanted to watch the new released Steph Kegels video. I want It fast LOL

                        Depends. If the cost doesn't matter. Flip, if heavy and big smartphones especially bother one and Bar (or Fold), if that's not the case, but the cameras are important to one.

                        In this case, the Find X6 Pro is generations ahead of the N2 Flip in terms of it's camera, it's like comparing a flagship to a midrange camera setup.

                          Here's an even easier experiment, that doesn't try to wander off into discussions that has nothing to do with the comparison:

                          You have two smartphones. They do the same things. Use the same software. Have the same screen sizes. One of them is half its size when you don't use it, the other keeps being impracticably big when you put it your pocket. Which is the sensible choice?

                            That's very cool and all, but why the N2 Flip, instead of the N3 Flip?
