Oppo Find N2 in for review
The Oppo Find N2 is official and we are pleased to welcome it to our office.
Before we get to all the ways Oppo has improved the second-generation foldable, let's get the unboxing out of the way. The Oppo Find N2 comes well-stocked - better than its predecessor.
There's a 67W charger, a USB cable, a cleaning cloth, and a case made of two parts.
Compared to its predecessor, the Oppo Find N2 is slightly narrower - 72.6mm vs 73mm, slightly thinner - 14.6mm/7.4mm vs 15.9mm/8.0mm, and lighter - 233g vs 275g.
The weight is the most impressive improvement and it's down to the new hinge. It has fewer parts - 100, down from 138 - and it uses more advanced materials.
Both displays appear the same, but have tweaked aspect ratios that make them squarer than before. The cover display is still 5.54-inch but supports 120Hz refresh rate now, while the inner display has a 7.1-inch diagonal with the same high refresh rate.
While the Oppo Find N was rounded and glossy, the Find N2 has a flatter frame that's matte. It makes for better handling and looks better as well.

Like its predecessor, the Oppo Find N2 offers a triple camera as well as two selfie cameras. The main module was upgraded to a Sony IMX890, a 50MP 1/1.56” sensor which sits behind an f/1.8 24mm lens with OIS. This replaces the equally-sized IMX766.
The ultrawide camera got an even bigger upgrade with the 48MP IMX581, a 1/2” sensor, behind an f/2.2 14mm lens. As a reminder, the original N had a 16MP 1/3.09” sensor. Then there’s the telephoto camera, which made the switch to the 32MP IMX709 sensor (1/2.74”, up from 13MP 1/3.4”).
There seemingly wasn't time enough to get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 inside the Find N2, so instead it got a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. It's still a very capable chip, so you shouldn't worry about performance.
The Oppo Find N2 lacks one feature its predecessor had - wireless charging. It's a bit of a bummer, but not as much as the lack of availability outside of China. We do hope Oppo will bring the Find N2 to the global market alongside the Find N2 Flip.

Power not needed but power efficiency and a lot less heat IS needed.
