Foldables, reimagined: what to expect from the new Oppo Find N3 Flip

This was echoed by Arne Herkelman, head of product management at Oppo, who remarked at the launch: “You focus solely on creating; [the Find N3 Series] does the rest.” Catering to the needs of both amateur photographers and professionals, the Find N3 Flip brings a series of firsts to the foldable category, especially in terms of its state-of-the-art cameras. 

Cutting-edge photography

Oppo’s latest Flip is the industry’s first flagship flip phone with a triple-camera system, comprising a 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide lens, and 32MP telephoto portrait camera with RGBW IMX709 sensor. Literally elevated by the striking Cosmos Ring and Starlight Track on the phone’s exterior, the three lenses on show only allude to the incredible experiences within.

As the first flip phone with a telephoto lens, the Find N3 Flip captures subjects with an optical 2x reach for that portrait-perfect focal length, adding a flattering bokeh effect in the background when shot in Hasselblad Portrait Mode. Meanwhile, the wide camera’s large sensor, high-resolution, and fast f/1.8 aperture lens matched with OIS create detail-rich photographs with remarkably low noise, even in dark and challenging environments. 

Dial that up and you get the Flip’s powerful ultra-wide camera, which boasts an expansive 115º field of view and an f/2.2 aperture. With autofocus, this ensures impeccable macro photos, focusing as near as 4cm. 

Vivid, tactile, and truly realistic—these are just some of the words to describe the shots you can take on the Flip as Oppo also resumes its collaboration with Hasselblad, a leading Swedish manufacturer of classic analogue and digital medium-format cameras. While the Find N3 series doesn’t necessarily replicate the analogue experience that Hasselblad is known for, this strategic partnership allows Oppo to create a truly unique and class-leading imaging experience for its users.

Redefining productivity

Beyond its game-changing camera capabilities, the Find N3 Flip presents marvellous upgrades across the board. The look of the phone itself is impeccably elegant, with distinct options and finishes to showcase your personal style. The improved Flexion Hinge also revives the gapless design that debuted on the Find N2 Flip late last year, independently tested to withstand 600,000 folds or the equivalent of more than 16 years of use if you fold your phone 100 times a day.

Not to forget the vertical cover screen, which retains its look and size but is more intuitive than ever, offering greater functionality thanks to its easily accessible mini apps and widgets menu. Even with the device snapped shut, you’ll be able to respond to emails and messages, scroll through social feeds, view up to six notifications at a time, and many more.

Another dandy trick for anyone who loves to take selfies: opening the camera while the Flip is part-folded, or sitting at an angle on a surface, will activate in FlexForm Mode. This allows you to achieve those tripod-steady captures even while you’re facing the triple camera on the rear, guaranteeing full, uncropped previews and high-quality results every single time.

At the recent launch event, Herkelman couldn’t have summarised it better than when he told the media,  “Whether it’s the Flip or the Find N3, they are changing how you use your phone, how you take pictures, how you work on your phone. Folds give us a whole new dimension of responding to users’ needs.” Truly setting new standards for the modern flip phone, Oppo ushers in an era of groundbreaking innovation—and it invites you to come be a part.
