OPPO Find N2 Flip Is the Best Foldable Smartphone of 2023, and Here’s How It Stands Out
OPPO Find N2 Flip is finally here and sports a practical design to redefine clamshell phones in India. Here's how the all-new Find N2 Flip from OPPO changes the game.
OPPO is on a global mission to take over the foldable smartphone segment. First, we saw how well-balanced the company’s first-ever foldable launched in 2021 – OPPO Find N was when it came to the practicality of a foldable phone. Now, the company is all set to redefine the flip segment with the all-new OPPO Find N2 Flip, which pushes the boundaries with its clamshell form factor. The OPPO Find N2 Flip is priced at INR 89,999 and will be available for purchase across OPPO Store, Flipkart, and Mainline Retailers from 17th March 12noon onwards. Customers can get it for as low as INR 79,999 through cashback and incentives.
OPPO Find N2 Flip is the company’s first-ever foldable smartphone in India which will be commercially available. The device is packed to the gills with a focus on solving the most obvious flaw of a foldable – the crease in the middle of the display. In this story, we will discuss features that make OPPO Find N2 Flip the best flip phone to buy this year.

An Innovative Practical Design
The OPPO Find N2 Flip has a familiar design, but look closely; it feels taller and mightier than any flip phone you may have seen before. In addition, the phone packs the 3.26-inches, the largest cover screen on a flip phone, which adds more practicality in every possible way. Seeing more notifications, managing quick replies and toggles, and supporting one swipe UI to access the camera are just a few examples of how much more this form factor has to offer.
The design is pocketable and easy to move around with. At just 7.45mm thin and with a 191-gram weight, the device is slim and lightweight than many Android flagships. It comes in Astral Black and Moonlit Purple colors. Both look gorgeous. The Astral Black color combines fingerprint-resistant and micro-etched glass, offering a premium shiny look. It comes with a polished aluminium frame that melds into the glass casing, a classy appeal for users across all age groups.
However, the real star is OPPO’s New-Generation Flexion Hinge which we first witnessed in OPPO Find N. For starters, the Find N2 Flip has the least noticeable creaseof any flip phone that’s enough to blow you away. In addition, the no hinge gap on the Find N2 Flip offers excellent dust resistance.
Long thing short, the Find N2 Flip’s new Flexion Hinge marks a breakthrough in the flip phone smartphone experience with no visible gap when folded, and the mechanism uses aircraft-grade high-strength steel for durability and lightness. The cherry on the cake is TÜV Rheinland Reliable Folding Certification, which tested the phone to 400,000 fold cycles, equivalent to 10 years of use by normal users, something that gives more confidence in everyday use. This is also the first device to get this certification.
A Never-Seen Before Cover Screen
For clamshell phones, the cover screen has always been a limitation. But not anymore, as OPPO’s Find N2 Flip sports the largest cover screen, 3.26 inches, on any flip phone today. The cover screen is big enough to glance at notifications and interact with UI elements without opening the fold. In addition, it offers 900 nits of peak brightness and can let you check as many as six notifications. The best is that the cover screen also allows you to send quick replies on any popular message app, be it – SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram, and more. More importantly, OPPO has designed the Find N2 Flip for work and play. While there are enough bells and whistles to keep you happy about everyday tasks, it also packs features like interactive pet live wallpaper and always-on display on the cover screen to add fun to your daily life.
Main Display Enhances Fun
For a foldable phone, both the screens on the device (inner and outer) must be useful. On Find N2 Flip, the main display is just as picture-perfect as the cover screen. And with no visible crease, the touch and viewing experience is like any modern-day flagship smartphone giving users the best of both worlds. The Find N2 Flip offers a 6.8-inch LTPO E6 AMOLED display with an immersive 21:9 aspect ratio and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Be it for streaming shows or watching videos on the go, the Find N2 Flip has a terrific display. What enhances the fun is the peak brightness of 1600 nits, and the use of anti-reflection film by OPPO makes sure that the display isn’t as reflective as other foldable. Talking purely about the experience, the screen offers deeper blacks and excellent contrast across different situations.
Cameras You Will Fall in Love With
The Find N2 Flip, in true company ethos, comes packed with a powerful camera system. There’s a 50-megapixel primary Sony IMX890 camera and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera. At the front, there is a 32-megapixel (Sony IMX709) vibrant selfie camera. It has one of the best selfie camera, which can use the Flexion hinge to frame your shots. Take advantage of FlexForm photography by part-folding the phone and placing it on a surface to snap your best pose. Thanks to the flip phone nature, the Find N2 Flip’s cover screen acts as a phone display while you take your best selfie shots.
There’s also OPPO’s signature MariSiliconX to boost 4K Ultra Night Videos and 4K Ultra HDR Videos by AI noise reduction and recording natural night videos. The primary camera is quite capable and can offer dynamic photos with great details. To top it off, OPPO has added some Hasselblad goodness to enhance your experience with the device showcasing XPAN mode thanks to OPPO’s collaboration with Hasselblad. There are plenty of features to explore on the Find N2 Flip, like Camcorder capture, that can help you record like an old-school camcorder or use it as a tripod to click group selfies.
Flagship-grade Performance and Fastest Charging Flip Phone till Date
Keeping everything in check on the OPPO Find N2 Flip is a flagship-grade MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ processor based on 4-nanometer architecture and comes with ARM Mali-G710 MC10 graphics processor and LPDDR5 RAM along with UFS 3.1 storage. OPPO has closely worked with MediaTek to create a battery-optimized Dimensity 9000+ chipset for the Find N2 Flip. The flip phone can handle multitasking like a breeze, and ColorOS 13, based on Android 13, ensures you get the latest OS features.
To double the fun, OPPO has also added a massive 4300mAh battery, a compact size yet sizable battery, the biggest in the segment and ahead of the competition. In addition, the 44W SUPERVOOCTM charging onboard means the Find N2 Flip is the fastest-charging flip phone in the market. OPPO has worked closely with MediaTek to create a battery-optimized MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ chipset. These efforts result in one more hour of video calling, two more hours of social media, and five more hours of music streaming than other popular flip phones.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the Find N2 Flip is the best flip phone from OPPO in the foldable segment in India. Keeping the focus on a pocketable design yet so practical in every possible way, the Find N2 Flip easily becomes an easy recommendation for those looking for a phone that has oomph and is perfect in every way possible.
