I'm thinking 8-9 inches is a good bet for a display which can be considered actually big compared to current flagships. Also aspect ratio matters to me, current foldables are like tables and have way too much black bars in videos, something closer to 16:9 or tall like 21:9 would be great. Hope foldables get to that point.

    😭😭

    THIS is how you create FOMO, by actually giving great hardware and a good enough software to take advantage of it, which takes customers away from the market leaders. Class act from Oppo

      A better camera array and better picture quality than the S23 Ultra. Great job Oppo, showing Samsung how it's done. If prices come down to reasonable levels I'll buy an Oppo foldable or a Vivo foldable if Vivo's software catches up to Oppo's, no more Samsung and their mid phones. The Z Fold 5 is not that much better than the Fold 2 and the Oppo Find N3 feels like it is 2 generations ahead of the Z Fold 5 even, just a disgrace, really.

        Probably the best telephoto shots I've ever seen on a phone. Good job Oppo with this and OnePlus Open.

            Oppo can actually do better in China but not outside here global.

            Personally, a day to day savage usability matters alot than spending so much $ just for a huge bump lens.

            Besides foldables are still very niche (Apple & Samsung are the only brands that are kind of "do things nichey and get away with it smooth")




              I'm still not sure why all the new light-gathering capabilities are still going towards the main camera when the telephoto and ultrawide really need it the most. Said cameras normally have much smaller sensors with much dimmer apertures. These stacked sensors are supposed to gather the same amount of light as 1" sensors while only being 1/1.4", so ideally both the telephoto and ultrawide could counter their relatively dim apertures by using a stacked 1/2" sensor that could gather the same amount of light as a 1/1.5" sensor

                I must admit, Oppo nailed the cameras on this one. It has a fantastic level of natural details regardless of lighting conditions, shows almost no trace of oversharpening, consistently exposes the scene accurately without that cartoonish "HDR effect" look, and produces decent 2x digital crop and amazing 3x and 6x shots.

                N3's UWA camera falls far behind that of Find X6 Pro and it's pretty obvious this is where they cut the corners, but I would say it's still a decent performer nonetheless. Low-light shots also look very neutral and remind me of those great ones from the Huawei Mate 40 series.

                Oppo managed to make the most of Sony's cutting-edge sensor with some excellent software image processing, and this sample gallery clearly shows that. Well done.

                  If you can't afford the N3 or OP Open just wait a month or two for the OP12 and the equivalent OPPO device as they will use the same camera module

                    LOl. Oppo’s marketing working hard since nobody’s buying this phone. All pre-orders promos are still valid, and nobody bites. The fanboys are praising it but they themselves won’t buy it.

                      Still much more worth it than Samsung z fold 5. It's even 100 USD cheaper for 16+512 compared to 12+256!

                      And just FYI, it does support Oppo Pen made for Find N2/N3.
